Hey there readers… We’re back from another fun-filled weekend of babysitting, coaching basketball, programming, and house remodeling.
Whew… the weekend went by so fast. And this weekend, “The Bug” came back and in full force! I started off Saturday thinking I wouldn’t really get much done just do to having to coach two basketball games at 2pm and 4pm. But off to the races I went installing the remaining baseboards in the living room and in the short hall area from the entrance into the garage. That went smoother than double-whipped Mayo! LOL! I’ll have to get pics and post those soon.
So, then I was forced to make a decision to either start our Master Closet storage or push it to another weekend. And the verdict is??????? Read more »

Talkin’ about lessons learned when we recently went to pick up one of Mal’s late Christmas gifts: NordicTrack Elliptical, ASR 700. We had looked at Ellipticals during the holiday season and she had spotted one she really did like. So me being the comparison shopper I am, scoured the Internet to find the best price. Nevertheless, we ended up at the place we started: Sears.
I should have known when we picked up the Elliptical and took the Sears loader and I a good heave to get it into the back of the pickup… I was going to be in trouble when it came time to unload once we arrived at the house. But Mal and I did get it unloaded and upstairs to the ‘guest bedroom/workout room’. Now, this is when i thought Read more »

Some of you may notice that going back to old posts whereby we linked to pictures, that certain pics are not viewable now. This is all because of the house album. I’ve not had enough time to really get in there and program the page the way it should be so it loads fast. See “English” or “Non programmer talk below”. :)
Meaning: The page loaded so slow that we removed some pictures from the picture album folder. We didn’t delete the pictures. We only moved some pictures to a different folder so we could add some recent ones to the main folder. At some point, I will add all the pictures back and create a new album page that will load more efficiently. Ok Alan, there you have it! You happy now????? HA HA!!!!!
But until we get the new page up and rolling, please use the following good ole’ pic link: http://www.alandmal.com/12301Beartrap.php
AND A BIG P.S. IF YOU DO CLICK A LINK ON A POST AND A PIC DOESN’T WORK, PLEASE LEAVE US A COMMENT ON THAT POST SO I KNOW ABOUT IT. THANKS

Well, its been quite a productive week for Mal and I, yet it is only Wednesday! <Sigh> And what a cold, icey Wednesday morning we woke up to here in Austin. Oh well, Friday is almost here and we’ll be back on the grind of doing some small projects this weekend.
I wanted to share a quick post with you in regards to Mal doing some decor shopping for the house. She picked up an awesome work of art for the half bathroom and to my surprise, it was a piece we had saw some months ago. The ironic thing about the work of art is that Read more »

Like most people, we get the “what happened” or “what is the latest on the house” or “how is the house coming along”…
Well, here we go… We were to suppose to work on hanging all doors, build/install master closet, install baseboards, and grouting the remainder. Hmm… long way from it, but we did get some things done this weekend. Of course we made our trip to Lowes and Home Depot on Friday night and loaded up on the supplies we would need for Saturday and Sunday projects… like two kids in a candy store! :)
First…, Read more »
