Month: October 2009

Work Day

It’s been almost two months since I’ve finished wiring the basement and I made poor Ed haul about 40 sheets of drywall with me on a rainy day. So after Kevin and Glenno stopped over today to help me getting started on the drywall I figured I should update everyone on my progress. I can’t believe we got more than half of the ceiling done just today!

I know this is the first time I’ve written about finishing our basement. So I’ll give you a little background. I started at the end of last year. I drylocked all of the walls in October of last year, sometime before our vacation to Ireland. The week of Christmas break is when I started framing in all of the walls. The idea is to have an office for Sara’s business/workout area. A spare bedroom for guests, since someday we plan on filling those upstairs rooms with children. A full bath and kitchen for our guests. Oh and a huge entertainment room with a projector and stadium seating! Below are three stages of photos: framing, insulation, and drywall from today. Big ups to Glenn, Kevin, Mark, Nick, and Ed for helping me out when I needed a hand for an hour or a day.

Time To Work On My Sales Pitch

I work up this morning getting ready as I normally would. It’s been a little difficult for me to get up in the mornings. I seem to want to keep sleeping, but I did get up eventually. After I got out of the shower I was doing the whole gel and combing of the hair thing when I noticed in the sink a nice coating of my hair that was falling out as I combed.

I was pretty shocked that it is happening so soon. I’ve felt so great through this first treatment and I haven’t really felt anything too unbearable as far as side effects go. But to see all of that hair gone at once was pretty unnerving. I guess it’s time to bite the bullet and break out the clipper set. I’ll spare you a photo of the sink but you better believe you’ll be getting one of me shaving it all off.

Hmm, my scalp is kinda tingly while I sit here and type this up. I guess that’s all my last remaining red hairs jumping overboard, “abandon ship!”. It was a good run while it lasted hair, thanks for at least being there for me at my 10 year high school reunion!
