Farewell to Home 2 (Hilton) in Pflugerville!
Our joint home-away-from-home since January 27th has come to an end! It was mostly for Jennifer since I could still hang out at my place until the contractors showed up and I was with them all day. However, since I … Continue reading
Day Eight of the floors, it’s over! Dream & Nightmare!
More than one thing is off our collective backs. We wrapped up the floors tonight and maybe they’ll come in to clean, for all our care, I just want the furniture put back to where it used to be. I’ll … Continue reading
Day Seven of the floors, will it ever end?
It’s starting feel like Finals Week at Marquette but it’s longer than a week and I have two exams every day, including the weekends. Above we’re hanging out in will be and had been, my office. It’s the bigger of … Continue reading

Day Three of the floors, Isis isn’t impressed

Day Two of the floors, hotel living is getting old
As you can see from the photo above of the room traditionally called my office (I need to come up with a better name), the crew knocked it out pretty quickly and well. What remains to be done: the baseboard, … Continue reading
Better late than never? We’ll know in a few days
The cold snap is officially over and after some veiled threats with the contractor, the new floor is under way. You’re seeing what little they’ve achieved with 2:30 PM start. Remember, we’re talking about Austin Time. To be fair to this … Continue reading

The jury remains out…for now, as I too work in the Customer Service field so I have sympathies with the other side which is really being put to the test tonight. My home remodeling has decided to happen at the … Continue reading

YES! Operation Manhattan is back on track
Today, I successfully refinanced my house for what I hope is the last time. There were a couple times to help pay off the debts via Somara’s student loans and to give her partial ownership. Then to punish Wells Fargo. … Continue reading
