Boy oh boy, nothing much going on at all, then everything going on at once!
It’s snowing! Snowing I tell you! The beautiful fluffy white is falling in Colorado – enough that people are already out hitting the passes with rock skis. 9″+ so far, and expecting another 12″+ up high over the weekend. Loveland and ABasin have both been blowing snow for the last 3 days, and both getting a nice dump of natural. Be interesting to see who opens first. My bet is both will be open by 2nd week of October.
I have been officially searching for employment in Colorado with plans to move as soon as possible. Unfortunately, it looks like working for my friend at his place of employment isn’t going to work out – HR playing games, politics abound, etc, etc. That would be my preference, but what’re ya gunna do? I had an interview this past Friday for a fairly intriguing and very well paying contract position in CoSpgs, working on a massive WITO messaging project – something like 76k users, many sites, tons of consolodation, etc, etc. Interview went well, and I should hear back by Wed of next week what the deal is. Should I get an offer, the next bout of excitement will be trying to figure out when my start-date will actually be. Gotta give 2-3 weeks notice, gotta somehow/sometime actually *move* up to CoSpgs and find a house, the job will require some early up-front travel to Detroit for info gathering, ski season will be starting mid to late October, and…..
Sheila and I have just started remodeling the second bathroom. I’m confident it’ll be ready to lay tile in 2 weeks or less, but it’s just one more thing to add in to the mix. The walls in this house are plaster, and in this particular bathroom, all around the shower the walls are essentially rotting. The tile in the shower was replaced by the previous owner as a condition of sale; the reason for this being it was nasty and the walls were rotting. It was supposed to be cleaned up and fixed. Well, not only did they do a half-assed sloppy job on the tile, apparantly they just tried to cover up the rotting mess! As we’re tearing down tile, huge chunks of rotted plaster wall from behind are coming down with it. Fun! At least with this project, I actually know what I’m doing, shouldn’t have to wait on help, and can just bust ass and get it done.
Pics of the bathroom remodel here. Obviously no “after” pics yet, but they’ll be there eventually.
I think that’s about it for the moment. Still need to sit down and actually spend some time w/ the silly blog and clean it up a bit. Still needs some TLC and some design work. All in due time I suppose.
