It just goes on and on my friends. I ‘sing’ of house building, or, home ownership responsibilities in general. It’s been over a year since I last posted on the progress Dan and Anna have made on their house construction project (see blog post “House, and now, Home” https://wordpress.com/post/retirementadventureblog.com/3387 ). They have continued working weekends and… Continue reading The Project That Never Ends

House and Now, Home
2022 nears to a close so I will update you on the housebuilding project for Dan and Anna. THEY ARE IN AND LIVING IN THE HOUSE! Yay! They moved in shortly before Thanksgiving with an approved Certificate of Occupancy after a few months of delay. A recall on the electric panel boxes that had been… Continue reading House and Now, Home
A ‘Quick’ Building Update
You might think we’ve been sitting on our hands waiting for this long, erratic spring to settle down but be assured we’ve been keeping busy NOT twiddling our thumbs. With our February travels seemingly long behind us, allow me to update you on the house building progress. We’ve made a few trips to PA in… Continue reading A ‘Quick’ Building Update
Excitement!
Exciting news! January is over and hopefully the brutal cold we had is gone with it. There were too many days of 0 deg F for the high but with the bad comes the good: generally speaking those days came with brilliant blue skies with no wind, awesome sunsets, and amazingly clear, starry nights. Greg… Continue reading Excitement!
2022, What’s New?
New year, new blog entry! 2022 looks to be another year, that’s all I can predict. Hopefully, it will be amazing and as productive as 2021 has been. Looking back we got a lot accomplished. Not a lot has happened in the way of travel except jaunts to Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Boston, NYC, Westchester, and… Continue reading 2022, What’s New?
Dried In!
In case I haven’t mentioned this before, it’s great being retired. Some people relax and do puzzles or read books, travel, spend time with family, and generally take it easier than when they worked for pay. We’ve been doing all that but then we amped up our activity this year. We are about 2 1/2… Continue reading Dried In!
A Banker, an Engineer, and a Welder Walk into a House…
Last week, the third week of construction on our son’s and daughter-in-law’s house, ended well despite my momentary panic attack. Thanks to all of you, my blog readers (now totalling in the double digits!!!) for your positivity and support and cheering. Seeing our progress from other’s perspectives helped a lot to pull me out out… Continue reading A Banker, an Engineer, and a Welder Walk into a House…
Here We Go Again!
Many of you know that Greg and I lead openly secret lives (oxymoron, anyone?). Greg loves building things and I love Greg so I build things too. As his mild mannered Clark Kent persona Greg built molecules in his day job as a chemist and furniture and cabinets in his spare, now retired, time. But… Continue reading Here We Go Again!
