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

Greg… Continue reading Excitement!

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?
Five days in
We have finally started construction on my son and daughter-in-law’s house in Pennsylvania. Greg, Dan, and Anna have been slogging through the design and permitting process which I have managed to avoid. Bucks County, PA has rigorous permit requirements and requires that all plumbing, HVAC, insulation, and drainage designs are in place and approved before… Continue reading Five days in
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!
