Sounds like alot of fun, save for the week and a half of programming...

Brunette in the front is cute (the female), I am sure Harold or Mike (hippie) will prefer the other two brunettes...

I am currently remodeling my house. Purchased last March, we did the kitchen 1st, and I have 4 more bathrooms do, and open up 1 closet into some unused attic space. The kitchen was the major project, as I had to remove a large section of a wall, reinforce the opening with a 15" sttel I beam and 3 3" tubular steel pillars. All welded in place, and it is very strong. Then I had to reroute gas and electric, do a bunch of drywall work, paint and finish all of the wood trim. And reinstall the cabinets, plumb the sink, dishwasher and garbage disposal.

Keep in mind My father and I did all of this, only thing done by a "professional" was the counter install. The backsplash was installed by my wife and her mother, they are the tile experts!! It has been a job, but I am almost done.

Before shot, see the giant brick pillar, about 1200lbs of bricks, all broken and moved by hand. This part sucked the most.



Some afters, you can see one of the steel pillars, that has been cased in wood and I just need to put 1 final coat of paint on.






I also have all kinds of smaller projects going on. Recently re-did a few 4 wheelers and painted my motorcycle, 99 honda cbr1100xx.
