Just returned from my 2-hour-long interview. I think it went well. Just a note.. when you interview for a job, suck up to the secretary. They're your foot in the door. Just to show you how far I have my foot in the door at this place.. the secretary today CRIED in front of me. Heh. So I'm good with her, at least. I should know about the job in a few weeks.
Spent the weekend putting up insulation, and Gene and his helper sheetrocked the ceiling in the master bedroom today. We also put up the mailbox, the main electrical panel (power company should be out later today), and the bell. The bell was a BITCH. I temporarily overcame my incredible phobia of falling, climbed up on a slick-as-owl-shit, steep metal roof, and helped Mr. Kitty pull the 75-lb monstrosity up the side of the house on a not-quite-designed-for-this-use rope. Pictures should be on the website tomorrow-ish.
And we purchased a brand-new bedroom suite. Very Indian, which is nice. KING SIZE BED, which is FABULOUS. The salesman made the following comment- "the longer you're together, the bigger your bed." Damn straight. I'm SOOOOO looking forward to those extra 16 inches. (no rude comments, TYVM)
Well, daylight's burning and I'm gonna go do some work out in the yard. Hope y'all are well.

Here's something I'm confused about -- you're putting a bell on your house? Like, with a tower and a guy named Quasimodo and such? If you don't already have a hunchback, could I be the bellringer? I don't have any experience, but, in spite of that, I have a feeling I'm highly qualified for the job. :)

Click on the last link, 'more of the latest pics.' See the big hole there at the top of the house? Bell goes there. It's quite impressive, really. Though our neighbors are.. shall we say.. concerned. ;)

"We had to build around the 960 sq foot garage that SOMEONE insisted on." I swear, all I wanted was a library. Really. Oh, and a jet tub in a big bathroom. Instead I get a fortress. However will I manage? ;)
