Time Flies when it's All Used Up

Wow yet again it has been a while. Not because I haven't wanted to add to my posts and become more regular at this, (and no, not the Metamucil kind) but because I have spent my time like the valuable cash it is. First, I work. Work used to have the option of "flexing up" meaning you could spend more time there if you wanted to. I used to only need to be there 6 hours but I generally stayed 7 unless I had a time crunch. Since the beginning of the year they upped our hours goal to be more productive so I now need to stay all 7 hours. This normally would be so bad but I'm going to college.

Secondly therefore, I have an English class which is reading intensive, writing intensive, and presentation semi intensive. My Astronomy class is some what read intensive, but a big long test assignment each week that takes 4 hours intense. Thankfully my Technology class is lightly read intensive and mildly presentation paper intense. With those two alone it stretching to strike a balance, but to add to the joy I'm remodeling and moving.

Third and finally, the room. As you can see on the pictures it was supposed to be a medium project, tare out a corner and replace a little bit of the water damaged dry wall. That went to pot when we realized since this was an addition onto the house they nailed the drywall strait to the old outside shingles.Though the ceiling/roof is attached well they basically placed the wall next to the old shingles really close and so water was being driven in with wind from the side. We needed to do it right. We tore out the old shingling down to the wood nailed to the brick for the shingles. (which we'd use to screw on the new dry wall) We tore out the corners because the wall was moving 1/2 and inch back, replaced the insulation, filled in the gap to the outside with expandy foam and siliconed the outside, used water resistant dry wall, filled in the gap now at the ceiling, remounted the heater controls, repainted, and still need to remount door and it's accompanying frame. As you can see I've been busy. Thankfully for the moving part my wonderful wife Heather has slow and stedily been packing away things for storrage and moving. She still asks me to get boxes.

So to all you loyal fans (hopefull) my appologies for the long awaited next addition but here you are! P.S. check out my Flicker site I've updated.
