Concrete was put down in the garage to fill in where the jackhammering took place and to make it level with the rest of the house.

• Who knew that I would end up attending the last event at Cowboys Stadium.
• Oh, by the way, Jerry or CONCAF or whoever is responsible for this, but FUCK YOU!!!  What’s the big deal about bringing in a 70-200mm lens??  And for fucksake, at least have it on the ticket that its banned.  Do you not know how important an extra 95mm are??
• And another thing.  You’re going to have 90,000 people there for 3-4 hours and you fucking run out of food???  And really  $5 for a water??  Was it filtered through the placenta of the new royal baby?
• Other than that, a great time was had.  Go USA!!

The Making of The Wallagio 2.0: Day 3

When you have walls that need to be torn down, what better time can there be than getting your friends drunk, handing them a bat and telling them to go to town?

I HAVE CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING!!!!

 

 

The blower used to be in this closed, which will soon go away.

The Jester helped with taking down this wall.

The Making of The Wallagio 2.0: Day 1

Whelp.  It seems that I didn’t spend nearly enough money in Europe and have found myself with way too much dough in my checking account.  Not wanting to start a cocaine habit, I’ve decided to do the next most foolish thing and remodel my house.

I’ve been without central air since the summer of 2009.  So the first step is to upgrade the air conditioning.  Gone is the attic fan that hasn’t worked since 2010 and in its place a bigger intake vent.

A before picture for future reference.

The kitchen/dining room will be my future master bedroom.

Who thinks I need a bigger kitchen?

So long to the window unit and the dog-hair accumulating extension cord needed because the circuit near the ac is the same as the TV and they both can’t be on.  And also, goodbye to this opening.  This will be closed to expand the spare bedroom.

My future kitchen.

 

Future home of the bar overlooking the new second living area.

This opening is also being closed up.

Up close look at the new intake.

That wall is about to go away for a larger room that, no doubt will result in even a larger mess.
