Nothing But Construction and Teeth
My brain is filled up with construction thoughts and teeth. Art is a priority in my life but this week there isn’t much space for it. It’s hard to say if it’s the construction and getting used to all the equipment in the yard, or if it’s the worry over my son’s mouth, which now has a raging infection after his root canal on tuesday. We’re off to the dentist again today.
Which ever it is, I’ve spent 15 minutes in the studio and haven’t answered emails in a few days. There aren’t a lot of art thoughts bouncing around in my head.
Although today I hope to get back on track a bit. But first work. Then the dentist again. So tonight, after the trick-or-treat at the office.
In the meantime you can be entertained by more construction photos. Day #3 (yesterday) are on smugmug: Construction Photos Day 3. If you read the captions there’s a bit of info about what I’m building and how it fits together.

So sorry for your son’s tooth problems. He has got to be in misery with the infection! I had four bone impacted molers(sp?) removed and then got an infection and talk about pain! I hope he gets some good antibiotics and recovers quickly.
You are so lucky to discover the sewer pipe problem. Just think if you had not had a basement put in and just put a first floor extention, the problem may have not been found. What a mess it would be then to try and fix if it was under a floor slab! All this construction has inspired me to work on my bedroom this weekend. I will be sanding the floor, repairing the oak flooring in the entry corridor, hopefully varnishing, and ordering my white grasscloth for the walls.

ooooh, except for all the other problems, (hope your son’s tooth gets fixed properly) I am envious, I love construction and remodel projections. I always feel kind of sad when the crew finishes and leaves me to go off to their next job. I need me some more money so I can do another one soon. Keep us up to date on the project,, k?

Patty - bummer to hear about your teeth also but glad for the quick recovery. My son is doing fine now. He’ll have to have a crown put on in the future but things have stabilized for a while.
I had the sewer line camera’d before I bought the house so I knew it was broken and I even have money from the sellers to pay to replace it. My real estate agent rocks.
Tracy - I’m so with you - I love this construction stuff. I don’t mind the guys around doing the work - it’s fun. It’s fun fun to watch it being built.
