Short tick list and the main is back up. Hook up washer & dryer is a leftover from the weekend. My office/den is still pretty much still a layer of dust and debris over the pile that was made in June when we opened the walls to deal with moisture. That will take a little time to sift thru and clean - books / mail / clothing / gear / with some recently used items laying on top of the forgotten. Anyway - I can pick at that - at least we'll be doing laundry again without having to mooch or laundromat.
Yard isn't quite right yet and sheds still have muddy items (plus the muddy sheds themselves) but winter is coming so some of that might be spring country. Cleaned my truck cab though! That should improve my mileage.
Still no word from DRP (Disaster Recovery Program aka the government assistance) but after almost a month since being passed to a new insurance rep I was able to make contact today and get the glacier moving again. Even promises of cutting me a partial cheque! Will wonders never cease!
Work still busy with lots of surveying while the good weather holds. All designs now are for Spring construction. Wrapping up the construction will be nice - not having to come in early and deal with crabby people is what I'm most looking forward to.
Anyway, there's your update - and the sun just poked thru the clouds that have predominated today's weather. I'll take that as a sign.

Main back up!

October. Fekk!
It will come as no surprise to people who know me when I say I dislike winter. I like to ski / snowshoe, and the downtime is nice to a point, but it is too long, too brown and gross, and i often struggle with "sluggishness" (that's being kind I guess) but I'm seriously looking forward to putting a fork in 2013. -4 this morning, bring it on.
But in the meantime we have progress on the main floor. Real and his son are true artisans and the hardwood, tile, and drywall repair are coming along great. He has forgiven me for un-boxing and racking the hardwood (I guess, he stopped mentioning it anyway). So this weekend I'll restore some of the trim once I find all the scattered pieces. Hope it's ready at any rate. Snuck a hike in last weekend in knee deep snow on a larch hunt and came out of it restored if a little banged up from a couple falls. Anyhow - looking forward to having my mainfloor back online. Two kitchen chairs and a corner of the dining room table perched on the edge of carnage is getting old.
Other list items (and it's a long one) gardening, shed, truck, basement, - oh, and my 'office / den' might be fixed soon and I can sort / clean it. Piles / dust / bits and pieces long lost since June.
Work very close to wrapping designs for 2013 builds! Otherwise still long days and trying not to agitate those who are (in my opinion) gripping the stick a little too hard. Fun stuff. Starting to scheme on some winter projects - notepad/sketchbook at the elbow. Anybody interested in a calendar?
