    Sometime in March. I will make a formal invite a few weeks before. Right now I still need to finish some Sheetrock work and to paint the kitchen cabinets and ceiling.

    I admire your skill and DIY attitude! :fistbump:

    While I try small projects around the house...I know the limits of my ability. Also, with the amount of hours at work, I choose not to undertake certain projects.

    Thank you. I spent five years in my early 20s as a contractor and carpenter. Thankfully there I learned the skills that I had today. This project has been extremely difficult Since I am currently working in Louisiana during the weekdays. I think I’m averaging about 15 hours of work a month on the house. Now I’m in the last critical two months before our baby comes.

    Plus all the money I save from not hiring a contractor has allowed me to buy some pretty bad ass tools.

    All the major Demo work is done. Just have the living room tile left to remove. I section the rooms off with temporary dust walls and the AC is on. So it is not to bad.

    I'm a little sad my current project is coming to an end. I have been sitting with operations in their control room every week for the last year getting their input and designing and testing everything with them involved.

    Thats actually really good for them i bet, direct input and then feedback on stuff they want changed is great to have. Where's your next job going to be?

    It's been great. I even put a simulated system on their console so all the operators could get a chance to check out the system.

    Same site, different unit. Moving over to the Greenfield side.
