3 Holiday Movie Weekend

Three more movies to watch this weekend to kick start the holiday season. The first two may not be your traditional holiday movies, they’re still usually at the top of any holiday movie list. However, the third has become somewhat of a tradition holiday “kick start” kind of movie. Truly... [Read more of this review]

Holiday Season’s First Movie

Alright, it’s time to officially kick off the holiday season and what better way than with a good movie. We’ll leave the “official” Christmas movies for later, we’re going to start with one of my favorites. We all enjoyed the “Vacation” series of movies, but... [Read more of this review]

That Time Of The Year

We’re hoping that the weather will hold out for the next couple of days. It’s that time of the year to break out the Christmas decorations and decorate for the holidays. Hard to believe that it’s here already. Lenora had purchased some decorations Christmas before last that haven’t... [Read more of this review]

Happy Halloween

Here’s wishing everybody a safe and happy Halloween. Tonight was trick or treat night in our hometown, but unfortunately, both Lenora and I had to work. Shauna took Colby trick or treating. Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. We love decorating for Halloween and coming up with... [Read more of this review]

31 Days Of Halloween ‘08 Movies

We always try to take in as many thriller/chiller/horror movies around the Halloween season as possible. Some we’ve watched time and time again. So this year, we’re going to have 31 days of Halloween thrillers, watched in no particular order. One movie for each day of October. October 1st:... [Read more of this review]

Busy Day, More Building

We couldn’t let todays awesome weather pass without doing some more work in the basement. Also took the opportunity to run a new outlet to the front of the house for Christmas lights. These first three photos sums up what was involved. Just a short run from an existing junction box to the outside.... [Read more of this review]

Good Karma

Today didn’t start off on a good beat. I’m working 12 and a half hour shifts this week and for whatever reason, my ass was dragging this morning as I was getting ready to leave for work. On my way out of the driveway, I was surprised to see our mailbox laying in our front yard. It had obviously... [Read more of this review]

More Demo, More Building

Well, we really didn’t have a lot of plans to work in the basement this weekend, but the weather was so nice, we figured that we better take advantage of it. One whole side of the basement is now “drop ceiling free” and the other side is about 80% “drop ceiling free”. We... [Read more of this review]

Another Rendering

This two photos show recent progress on our downstairs bedroom and a rendering of the final process, minus paint. Hopefully, this weekend we’ll be hanging some more sheetrock in our bedroom. It’ll probably be the first room totally completed before we move on to the other rooms. Now that... [Read more of this review]

Homecoming 2008

Tonight is the Russell High School Homecoming Dance. While I spent most of the day putting in our pedestal sink in the upstairs bathroom, Shauna and Lenora were running to get everything ready for the homecoming dance. I must admit, I’m a little bias, but Shauna looked stunning. Click here to view... [Read more of this review]

Teaching Colby

This afternoon, I had Colby help me hang some more sheetrock on a few of the walls that we’d built the past few days. We got the back of what will be our walk-in closet finished and also a few small pieces that will be part of the main hallway downstairs. Colby is a really good helper and got a... [Read more of this review]

Two Great Movies

With a little down time this evening after another day of building walls in the basement, we rented a couple of movies that we never got a chance to see while they were playing at the theaters. Fracture, starring Anthony Hopkins and Vantage Point, starring Dennis Quaid and Forest Whitaker. Both were... [Read more of this review]
