...and a few more remod pics...

For those of you who give a damn, here are three more pictures from the remodeling project. Things are going well, and the new roof will be on by Friday. Thanks for checking in, and I hope everyone is writing their asses off. Have a shot of Jack for me this weekend, will ya?

Drywall in the new editing suite...coming along nicely.

Here is one of Gary on the manlift adding on to the roof. I am changing to a nice black shake roof, which will work better with the yellow siding. With both of us in the lift's basket at about forty feet, that thing sways like a damn politician!

One of the negatives about living in Nashville is the constant threat of late-winter/early-spring thunderstorms. That's yours truly on a ladder about thirty feet up trying to pull a tarp over the new master bath dormer.

The New Editing Suite

I finally had a (slight) break from manuscripts, and began the remodeling I have put off for a year. This is going to make a great new space to set up a writing and editing area. I am doing the work with the help of a good friend of mine (who is one of Nashville's better song writers, by the way) and it is turning out quite well. Except for...see below. Thanks, Ask This Old House!

The Tear-off Begins

Gary in the Hole. No Turning Back Now!

My Leg After a "Mis-step" @1#!@!?*!

I will post more pics as progress continues. If you are a person of faith, please PRAY FOR ME!

The Revitalized Editor

Back from a great weekend of hiking and c-c-c-c-c-c-c-camping (yes, it was freakin' cold). The sun was shining except for a brief period when it snowed. That almost sent me home early. Thank goodness I remembered the Jack.

The lake was beautiful, and I spent some time reflecting on the new year. I still think this year is going to be a fabulous one, and creative muses are going to be working overtime. By the way, that stick is not up my ass...just an optical illusion.
