Okay, so it didn't completely melt yesterday. But it's pretty close. The image is courtesy of the TupperCam. I guess I jumped the gun by a day or two. Oh well. I am still looking forward to summer.

Hopefully this weekend we can make some real progress on the downstairs bathroom.

Oh, and Happy Birthday Dave!

I think today could be the day. That's right, the lake is finally melting. It has been a long winter, but we are definitely seeing signs of spring. Summer is just around the corner. He is a picture of the lake from this morning. It still looks like a lot of ice, but with the warm weather today, it might all be gone. I can hope at least. The image is courtesy of the TupperCam. I'll post another when the ice is gone.

It's just about time to break out the kayaks. Now I just need to finish up these projects so I can enjoy the summer!

Well, we had another productive weekend. Finished the paint in the upstairs bathroom, and got the new tub installed. Next week hopefully we'll get started on the tile in the downstairs bathroom, or at least get the heat rolled out.

But even more exciting than the work we did was the gadget we got to play with. Ladies and gentlmen, may I present the Margaritaville frozen concoction blender.

We are going to get a lot of use from this one. What a great gift! I mixed up a few batches of Miami Vices already. Man I can't wait 'til summer!

More new features

This is a biggie, and I need everyone to help! I have added a new menu item at the top of the page for Home Movies. In there you will find all the home movies that we converted and had playing at my parent's 50th anniversary party. What I need your help with is labeling each of the movies. Most of them are way before my time. I have a little information about some of them, but if you could watch them, and leave a comment with your thoughts and memories for each of them, it would be fantastic. That way we can capture all these memories into one location to share with everyone.
I have already put a couple of movies online, and the rest should be there in a day or so. I believe there are something like 41 films that we converted. In order to make sure they stream well from the web page, I have had to reduce the quality a little. Hopefully after I get some more information about each film, I can get them into some kind of logical order, and make a DVD out of them. But that will take some time. For now, I hope you enjoy them on the webpage.

More Tile

I hope everyone had a good Easter! We spent the weekend up at the lake, and got a bit more tile done... with a little help. I think the last update I put on the site was that we were getting a new tub for the downstairs bathroom. So the tile down there is on hold until the tub comes in. Well actually, until the tub comes in again. The first one was damaged. So in the mean time we have been working on the mud room, and this weekend we did the upstairs bathroom. Here are a couple of before and after shots of the upstairs bathroom. I just need to get the trim back up, and maybe get a fresh coat of paint on the walls now.

There are plenty of more pictures in the Gallery. Just go to the "Our Projects" album, then to the "Tiling at the Lake" album. It's coming along pretty well. The new tub is in, so we will pick it up tonight, and hopefully make some progress on the downstairs bathroom. After that it's just the sunroom left.

Here's a couple of pictures of the mud room, and me "enjoying" the damaged tub before we returned it.
