8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 8

[PBader]

We have been renovating/remodeling our 100 year old house since 1990!! Yes - over 16, nearly 17 years! Although tons of progress has been made in that time (all new electrical, all new plumbing, new roof, new kitchen, new bath, etc.) you wouldn't believe the unfinished projects. For some reason finishing the trim/moulding is a biggie - there are rooms that have needed just that to be complete for over 12 years. The "new" bath was functionally completed over 7 years ago - but the trim and little finishing touches are still not done. I do try and do some of the projects myself, but DH is a total perfectionist and will usually step in and take away any project I start (it doesn't always get finished, but it gets to a point where it is beyond my abilities! ) Part of it is that as soon as the weather gets good outside, he drops all indoor projects like a rock and goes out to garden. House projects only get done between November and April - and of course not much can be done in December because of all the holiday stuff going on and the THOUSANDS of lights that MUST be put up outside
DS came home on Mother's Day and the nurses sent a geranium with him as his mother's day gift for me. We still have that geranium - it is in a large pot and goes outside each summer and then gets overwintered in our basement under a light.

It is always that way around here too. Just 1 little something stays undone or gets broke and it seems it is like that al loooong time. DH is outside as soon as the weather breaks too. I think he is more proud of our yard than our home.

That is wonderful that you still have the plant. I have not the tiniest of green in any of my fingers.

Sorry I vaporized there for a minute. I just had to Ebay a spf product. I mentioned on Thurs night I was undergoing roseacea treatment. It consists of 5 fotofacial treatments spaced one month apart.........wait a minute....is Jennifer Hudson about to POP out of that dress but I digress. During and after the treatments Dermatologist said I need to be very diligent about sun protection year round and need UVA and UVB protection. I just picked up some Dr. Denese products that contain both UVA & UVB. Need this stuff before I go to Florida next month. Even on Ebay the stuff is $$$. But since the treatments are $300 each and not covered by insurance, what another couple of bucks. I mentioned in chat Fri. night that my nose is turning purple in spots and it's awful really. I'm only 46! Anyway, just from the first treatment I'm already seeing an improvement! Maybe I'll be back to causcasian again before our cruise. You know when people say I don't care if you're black, white or purple.........they're talking about me

I hope it works great for you . I would send the $$ on the SPF also.

We are now the proud owners of "Grumpy's Train House" Guess where we'll be spending our weekends? Kev has dreamt of owning a model train shop for a looong time and I'm happy for him. I told him we could do it,as long as we still get to go on the cruise next year AND I still get my motorcycle.

So, if anybody's into model trains or model ships, let us know.

We are now the proud owners of "Grumpy's Train House" Guess where we'll be spending our weekends? Kev has dreamt of owning a model train shop for a looong time and I'm happy for him. We're basically sub-leasing the shop and we're paying $.25 on the $1.00 for the merchandise. All in all it's going to cost us $6000. We have to clear $1400 a month to break even. I told him we could do it,as long as we still get to go on the cruise next year AND I still get my motorcycle.

So, if anybody's into model trains or model ships, let us know.

I am so glad It's now official! Best of luck to you all in your endeavor.

I would love to have my own motorcycle too. It would have to be custom made since my legs are so short.

We started renovating this house a few years ago & it's at a stand still. We put on a farmer's porch, new siding, & all new windows but same thing...no trim or paint! We still want to renovate the kitchen & 2 baths & then put it on the market. I have a 2 story colonial built in the 70's, but I hate going up & down the stairs, there is no storage, no closet space, no laundry room & the neighbors all have raised ranches & look right into my back yard. I hate it!

Well, Good night all. Hoping there is a snow day tomorrow but so far nothing posted. Lots of ice and freezing rain but the snow hasn't started yet.

Still would like another day to get over this darn cold.

Sleep well.
