Wow, this weekend went fast. We closed on Friday, then Saterday I had just a few hours in the morning to work at the house. We went to my sister-in-laws house warming party. Sunday was spent demoing almost the whole first floor, crazy day. Anyways, the kitchen, bath and a few walls are now gone on the first floor. Below are some video’s from day 1 and 2, I posted them on youtube.com and I also uploaded the higher quality ones to the site (requires quicktime to play I beleive). I’m shot, so tired, hitting the sack now.
Well folks, my golf days are soon over! We have a closing date of this Friday on the house we purchased. I also have the Co-Op sold, and the bank appraiser is coming tomorrow to look over the place. So I’ll have to miss work for a bit twice this week, but at least tomorrow I can work from home. I am very excited, I can not WAIT to get out of this Co-Op. It was great for the first year, but then after that it drove me nuts that I could not just walk outside to fire up a BBQ or smash a golf ball or two. It is going to be a quite a hectic next 6 months or so, because most, if not all of my free time will be spent renovating the fixer upper we just purchased.
I hope to document most of the renovation process with both my camera and my camcorder. I did get a beta invite to Justin.TV, they allow you to broadcast live (stream) a video feed from anywhere to anyone wanting to watch. If I can some how get my renovation progress to broadcast from the house I’ll do it. I do not think I will have a broadband connection from there the first few weeks, so I’ll just tape and or photograph the progress and post it when I have time.
Reality of a “real” mortgage is really hitting me, the past (almost) three years have been quite easy with the Co-Op. We shall see what will come of this, keep tuned in.
Found my camcorder today, I haven’t used it in a while. Since I have a Mac, I ran out and purchased a DV Cable so I could get the moves off of it and into iMovie. My first little movie is below…
This is my crazy goldfish (I think thats what it is) he is about 2 years old now. He likes to move anything and everything in the tank, including picking up the gravel and spitting it out on the side of the tank.
