The marathon painting session is OVER.  Five rooms in five days!  One room a day makes it sound very misleading and almost simplistic.  We actually have been doing trim for the past two days so that means five rooms in three days!  It was insane.  I’m glad it is over!  Now I can just go [...]

Weekend full of fun!

No comments

Well this weekend was busy.  Meri and I painted five rooms…FIVE!  There isn’t much to say about that other than we were busy as hell doing that. Sunday afternoon, I was going to do some yard work and usually I listen to my mp3 player (Dell DJ 30, no longer in production) while I’m working.  [...]

Ok, painting sucks big time!  We have painted the master bedroom, master bathroom, dining room, bottom of the living room and then the bottom of the kitchen!  I never would have thought we would work this hard to LOSE so much money!  But that’s besides the point right? Ok, time to run. I have more [...]

Selling my house

No comments

I made a website for help in selling my house.  The URL is http://www.bartletthomeforsale.com.  My intentions for this site are to assist my realtor in selling my house.  From experience, I am frequently frustrated by only being able to see 5 or 6 pictures of a house on realtor.com.  On the site I [quickly] put [...]

Can you imagine losing that much money? What a shitty feeling! That is what Meri and I are faced with when we sell the house so that we can move to Orlando. We are hoping to sell the house for $10k more than we bought it for in hopes of not actually losing that much. [...]

I Resigned

No comments

Well I did it, I resigned. It was a very difficult decision but it has been made. I am going to miss my coworkers and the no-pressure work environment here but moving my career from simple green screen to rich and robust web apps. It is a risk going from such a large, seemingly stable [...]
