No fist fights broke out and the turkey tasted great!

Well the big turkey day has come and gone. With 13 people total in the house, it all worked out great. We had a couple of friends in from Oregon and California, with the remainder of folks coming from West Virginia and South Carolina. It was really nice to have the house so full, with so many people eating and drinking while carrying on so many conversations. The best part was the fact that we had 3 or more cooks going in the kitchen while some of the rest of us hung out in the dining room, but were still able to talk and socialize with those in the kitchen.

No Wall=Good Idea!

Everyone that stayed seem to have a good time, I know that everyone ate way too much and possibly made too many trips to the cooler of ice cold beverages that was on the back porch.

Now that is all done and the crowds have come and gone, we are going to start breaking down plans for the master bedroom and bathroom for the second floor. What this means is building a new wall, hanging some doors, installing sun tube sky lights, redoing the drywall, and creating a master bathroom in an old kitchenette. Now this is going to be way too much fun. My goal is to be totally done in 4 months. YEP! 4 Months. I really don't want this to drag on into the summer kayaking season.

I guess it's time to start digging out all of the tools that I just put away in the depths of the basement. It's time to fire up the XRP drills, plug in the recip saws, find a new pair of work shorts, and get busy with a new project. Till then.....
