construction update!

well– my long, skinny bowling-alley-of-a-space got some major upgrades last weekend. no more pee-yellow cotton candy to stare at and no more complicated messy wiring to figure out [although this phase of construction was a sh** ton easier than our last reno. exactly zero time crawling in tight spaces Vs. 986 hours of grueling, dusty, sweaty attic wiring in the middle of summer].

it’s now bright, airy, and clean looking. very instant gratification.

I’m so glad that Ryan has drywall know-how in him. that’s what he was doing when we first started dating in 1999. you know—last century. crazy.

he drywalled with JJ—they were on different crews; JJ’s hung, while Ryan’s finished. That Christmas party always rocked, btw. [pun intended]

Fast forward 10 years later and they’re still BFFs. and did you know that this is his ex girlfriend, who is also still my BFF? : ) we always laugh that Andy, Amber’s new husband, looks a bit like JJ from far away. do you see it? okay..maybe from 1 mile away. see it now?

anyway, we couldn’t have come this far without our supporting cast. so thank you, men! i show it by cooking fabulously and making us all fat every weekend. you’re welcome.

so enjoy, now, this video prepared specially to show off the dancing talent of our crew. and to explain now before you’re like “why is there sports and animals? they don’t have anything to do with drywall or construction.”… the basketball/dog scene at the end was used to get us to the end of the song. lol

 and we really do whistle while we work, too. we’re a happy bunch. if I were a dwarf, I’d certainly be ‘Happy.’

I like how in these pics the light patterns are a chevron.

oh, the little things…..
