Well, I don’t want to speak too soon, but I am definitely seeing some progress on the kitchen/family room renovations. The sheet rock is up and soon the second and third coat of mud will be applied. Next up, sure up the sub floor and then dare I say it may be time for some kitchen cabinets!
I can almost smell the cooking and hear the faucet and dishwasher running again. I don’t know how we ever lived without these little conveniences. The bathroom sink just doesn’t cut it for washing dishes. Thank god for my parent’s graciousness. We’ve had many a meal over there in the past month.
While I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, there is still going to be plenty of work for me to tend to. I still have to tile the floor and walls of my bathroom, sheet rock these walls, and finish the plumbing. Not to mention all of the patching of cracked plaster that seems to never end. And speaking of never ending, P-A-I-N-T-I-N-G! Will it never end?
Maybe by the time I’m old and gray I will finally get to enjoy the fruits of our labor. Wait a minute, I am old and gray.
Next week I’ll be heading to the glitz and glamor of Las Vegas! Well it will be for a business trip as efotolab.com will have a booth and on display at the
I’m gonna say it again.

Jesus! You would think that the single landing page that I designed over the weekend would be a snap to code. I tried to keep it very simple as I knew I needed to get the site for our VerdéBook out there this week. I had the overall framework down in about an hour. I was just tweaking and fine tuning things a bit and adding a nice ajax slide show type viewer into the overall layout, when I started to check out what things were looking like in IE, Safari and Opera (as I was already viewing it in FireFox).
Much to my chagrin it didn’t look all that great. In fact, my browser was actually displaying things differently than the same exact browser on another machine, running the same OS! I just don’t get it. I really love the idea of keeping compliant with my code, but does it really need to be that difficult?
I know that I am no code jockey so if anyone knows of a good cheat sheet out there so I don’t have to second guess my hacks or code, please let me know.
