    krap22 ... congrats ... your house project is really coming along and looking very nice ... :)

    I always liked to watch a house or building kinda grow out of the ground to a finished product ... :D

    Painting is coming along nicely. I'm going to owe my parents big time. They have done most of the painting this week.

    You're making your parents paint the outside of your house?

    I would prefer not to say on a public forum. I will say that it is nearly twice the size and almost twice the price of my previous home. But my mortgage will only be about $200 more per month.

    Don't be fooled, i have a General Contractor running the project. I'm just doing some of the work myself. I don't have the time to do it all.

    Wood.... little itty bitty pieces of wood, that came in on palates, that he made his friend Chad carry into the house whilst he sit back and ate grapes in his lay-z-boy....

    You should have seen the day we moved his wood shop from his old house to the storage unit.... I suppose he is making up for it by letting me borrow his tools for extended periods of time, haha.
