It has been a whole week of break that has transpired already since the end of spring session. My next class will be introduction to AutoCAD and I am very excited about it.  I got my wish of Textiles class for the second session of summer and am very excited about the upcoming semester. 

This past week has been a very busy one, with work moving forward with the implementation of new users and equipment. I also received some more job training and more responsibility which makes me feel good that I am advancing with the new job.

Today we showed the house that we rent to a potential buyer for the landlord. We are very anxious to be moving out in a few months to our new house, but we will definitely miss the neighborhood.

The new house is finally seeing some action. On Thursday they put the forms in for the foundation, and this weekend the rough plumbing will go in. The slab should be poured this week and exterior walls and roof start next week and finish up the week after the fourth of July. Then the interior will start with wiring and the two by fours. Can you tell that I am excited? I had our first construction meeting this week and that went very well. I had a chance to look at the plans and it felt so good to be able to read them correctly with all of the symbols. It was awesome to look at the front and side elevations along with the foundation and roofing plans. The contractor and I also went over the electrical and plumbing plans. We also ran through all of the interior touches such as the cabinets, appliances, and tile and plumbing fixtures. 

For the rest of the afternoon, I get to lie around and relax. No side work for this woman today. It’s nice that we got all of the cleaning and outside work like the grass cut and weeds pulled before we showed the house today. That means that the rest of my weekend is my own. I do have a computer to repair, but that can wait until Monday or Tuesday. It depends on when a design project that I have been anticipating comes in for me.

I hope the sun comes out soon and maybe I will be able to lay by the pool with a book that I have been meaning to read for quite some time. I can’t remember when I read a book on my own verses required reading for class.
