End of July :)
A man cannot call himself peaceful if he is not capable of violence. If he's not capable of violence he isn't peaceful, he is harmless. There is a distinct difference.

My buddy got curious so he came over to the backyard and within about 5 feet of me.

They are currently installing the HVAC which should be done Friday or Saturday.

We just ordered the kitchen yesterday and my wife is really excited about that :)

I showed your post to my wife and she said absolutely not. She refuses to live where there are dinosaurs. So, I guess I won't be moving to Florida in my retirement years.

I hope you floor the attic space now and put in lighting and a good step ladder. One of my regrets was delaying that process when I bought my house. Over 40 years later, I glad the professionals did it for me.

Yes, we're planning on putting plywood up in the attic and perhaps installing a pull down step ladder.

Fortunately most of the lumber part is done. :D

Friend of my daughter sold their home in VA and was having a new one built.... builder just came back and stated they need 40k more to build due to lumber cost.
( and they can't put it in mortgage at this time ) NO cash available for them and they are now stuck in Mom/Dads home with 3 kids.
