Looking to Move

I started off the day by gathering up the dirty laundry, sorting it and getting it started. Looks likes four loads is going to do it for this week. That is good. Speaking of which I need to go and put the last load in the dryer. I should probably do laundry a little different and try to keep up with it daily but alas that is not something I am very good at. Besides I like to bleach my whites and when it is done daily there isnt enough clothes to really seperate out colors. Perhaps the once a week plan that I have been following will suffice. Sweet. With laundry on the go I spent the morning at home and took care of some business here including a little father and son play time with Andy. The boy is a character for sure. We enjoy our mornings together when we have them. He is my little sleeping buddy still and I would say 9 times out of 10 he is in my bed during the night.

After dropping Andy off at school I made a stop at Home Depot and then Wal Mart and finally went and took a tour of the Cranes house. They are renting from a guy named Fred and they will be moving at the end of June. They happen to live next door to Jay and Sara and their house is a little more up to date than mine. It looks like we are going to make a move one street over - why not, it isn't like I didn't grow up doing this sort of thing. Anyway, the rent is less, the home is more efficient, the decor is much nicer and the yard will be much easier to take care of. Not that the yard is a big winner for me as I enjoy the yard work. There just won't be as much to do though I have already spotted the lilac bushes in the back yard that could use some thinning out. Truly one of my all time favorite things to do - seriously. The other benefit here is being next to Jay and Sara and having their help with the kids when I am working. Andy is slated for afternoon kindergarten and could spend his mornings with Sara before school. The kids can come home after school and can check in with Sara as well. The street is also a little less busy with traffic and has a lot more kids on it. It will be a good location for us. I probably didn't mention the ping pong table next door but that is definitely a plus not to mention the competition.

I took out some lights and cut holes for can lights at the Brick House today. Had to alter the plan for the can lights as there happened to be a 2 X 4 right in the way of every location we were originally planning. That is okay though as I think the adjustment will look great and will spread the light to areas that were a little darker anyway. I'll install those lights tomorrow and work on some additional removal of other lights. What I removed today revealed some damage to the ceiling that was previoulsy unknown. It really wasn't too surprising though. I've got to get a hold of the guys that have been working there and get a plan together for a couple of projects. Want to get the walls textured this week as well as the hole cut in the wall. Fun, fun fun. I do enjoy seeing it come together.

If I hurry and close I might actually make it through this post without my customary nap. Yes it is true I often rest my fingers and my eyes for a bit. Cant help it. I am running on fumes at this time of night and usually still have more to accomplish as soon as I conclude my post. Such is the case tonight with laundry to fold. I can hardly wait. And with that, I close.
