WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

…one saving grace is that she has an apartment so we're not trying to live in the house while remodeling. I couldn't even imagine trying to go that route.
Yeah, living in a construction site gets tense. Luckily, when we did our home improvement project, we were only home sporadically. We stayed with Julie's parents for a few weeks, which had its own challenges. Then construction moved to the back yard and dragged on and on. Not for years, though. That's forever.

Yeah, I decided I wanted a "full size" replica when I was in China…you should have seen me lugging that thing throug customs

Looking good JSJ! I like that faucet, what brand/model is it?
Chris, what all did you have done at your place?
I've been seriously working on it for the last 6-9 months or so. We went back and forth on plans and details and on and on but it looks like we've got a pretty solid plan in place now. Now, we just need to make it happen!

It's a T&S Brass. It's what you'd put at a dish station in the back of house. For how much "designer" faucets are, we figured it'd be better to get a bad ass "pro" model.

Joe- I have something of a soft spot for the Qin Empire- in college I took a class called "History of Chinese Political Thought", which focused on the Warring States period and subsequent unification. I spent a lot of class time debating the relative merits of Legalist philosophy…
Yeah, I'm a nerd.
Clint- we, and by we, I mean the contractor we hired, expanded our master bedroom, added a laundry room, built a detached garage with upstairs office space, added a patio and play structure for the kids (complete with a literal ton of rubber mulch) and then re-landscaped the front and back yards.
We're not positive of the exact cost, but it was close to the original price of the house.
-
I'll be working with a contractor too so you're not the only one. I've been getting some bids to take to the bank for financing and the last one I got was startling to say the least. In fact, they wanted more than the original price of the house. Luckily, I've got quite a few friends who are architects and design/build types so we should hopefully be able to finish it without leaving me penniless.
-
It's good for me, I need something to keep me busy. "Idle hands are the devil's tools"
Also, I like the idea of making something the way I want it. I really do enjoy working with my hands and with my schedule it allows me to focus on one thing at a time which works well. Truly, the hardest part about it is the anticipation of finishing and getting it done. Then, it's off to the next project…

Tough, we don't want you, piss off

Pams parents say that to me every time they see me :o

Being British means having a good sense of humour, Finn…

Wait, Germans aren't noted for their sense of humor?
