So it has been yet another long time since I posted. Life has been life. I have gotten the house in more order, but its still not where I want it. I did get the door between the house and the attached garage in ad stair built and it has been nice to have. I have also expanded my home automation set up to the point that I like it so much better and things work for the most part. I am waiting on my new washer/dryer, hoping for it before xmas.
