summer work program, pt. 2






okay! so it's been a while since I posted more pictures of the house from this summer. where we last left off, we had framed the rooms and I believe we either done with the wiring or we were still completing the wiring. but I don't any pictures of the wiring process, but it's boring. therefore, we have jumped ahead the insulation process! yes, we insulated the rooms. and boy did we. because now when it's really cold in the house and we crank up the heat, these rooms get super hot while it's still cold upstairs. but that's because we need to add insulation to the upstairs, which is a job for 2014. either way, you can see the bottom picture is the finished room even with the paper on the floor ready for the drywall to go up. and you probably guessed it, the next round of photos will be when the room is drywalled.
 
 
 
I realized I didn't have a picture of sofie doing anything during this process. so here she is in my old sock box, which originally was a hat box. it doesn't matter to her. it's small and comfortable.

no more poetry









back early in December, we went to see jeff tweedy solo. we had 2nd row seats and we lucked out that no one in the front row sat in front of us so we had the perfect, unobstructed view of jeff tweedy. the highlight of the night though was when jeff talked to my wife. and it was unsolicited. she didn't call out and yell to him like most of the crowd. she picked her out of the crowd and asked her if she was wearing an avalanche covering. she was wearing a red vampire weekend hoodie that had a medic cross on it. I was shocked and couldn't speak because jeff tweedy was talking to my wife! the show was incredible. it was something i'll never forget. I think I got some goods pictures too. I mean, it was just awesome. I wish jeff would come to town every month.

1. someday some morning sometime
2. laminated cat
3. ashes of American flags
4. one sunday morning
5. I am trying to break your heart
6. one wing

10. bob Dylan's 49th beard
11. Jesus, etc.
12. born alone
13. you are not alone
14. the ruling class
15. new Madrid
16. box full of letters
17. California stars
18. so much wine (butterfly)
19. passenger side
20. nothing up my sleeve
21. I'm the man who loves you
