I meant to comment on this post earlier. ...Hey BB. I meant to comment on this post earlier. It continues to surprise me how much alike we can be. Those photos sent waves of recognition, fear and nostalgia up my spine. 20 years ago, I bought an old house and gutted it and rebuilt it. It took almost a year, but I finally finished it. Well, sort of.<br /><br />It was so exhausting, that one bathroom didn't get finished until 5 years later, and then, 12 or 15 years later, I re-did the smaller bedroom and a few years ago, re-did the master bedroom.<br /><br />Each time, the place looked like a disaster area.......exactly like your photos.<br /><br />Now that I've turned 50, I think (hope) I'm going to give up this major demolition/construction thing, and enjoy what I have built....that's the hope anyway.<br /><br />But seems like there's always something that needs improving.....grrrr.Explorer Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00633922755283886454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970098682068094639.post-49687837772263604802013-04-02T04:10:51.183-07:002013-04-02T04:10:51.183-07:00Yes, I am very lucky in all of my children.

It's part of my goal for him to be an extremely valuable "multi-skilled" tradesman. And he wants that as well....<br /><br />That's his dog in the middle pic, by the way, and his left arm at the extreme left. <br /><br /><br />Buddy Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052407067718899985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970098682068094639.post-5405405551437048482013-04-01T17:59:18.957-07:002013-04-01T17:59:18.957-07:00You are so lucky to have that kind of activity to ...You are so lucky to have that kind of activity to bond you with your son.

Finding the time will be a balancing act, between my day job, family activities, hooking up with sexy men and lastly, getting the renovation done. Another problem is very limited fund$ to work with.<br /><br />anne marie: My ex-wife and I are very proud of him. My son is well on track towards a career in the trades. He'll do extremely well with his "practical smarts", imagination and multi-skills. (Permit me to brag a little here) He's already exceeded his instructors in the field of aluminum TIG welding, a highly specialized, difficult and lucrative field.
