Things are moving right along

Monday it dawned on me the I had forgot a project that was very important.  The toilet in our main bathroom has a tendency to overflow.  With four extra people in the house that would have been a major problem.  Also the facets for the bathtub takes a super grip to turn off and an even harder grip to turn them back on.  Plus you might have the water, just the way you like it and all of a sudden it goes super hot or cold.  So I called Matt the plumber for some last minute help.  I know he didn't want to come over this week because he had so many things going on.  I asked about the weekend and he had Guard Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  I guess I've learned from the Inmates to whine pretty good, because he came over Wednesday at 630 pm.  I had a toilet in the shed that I had bought like 10 years ago and I dug it out.  Matt had the old toiled almost off when Carolyn say a hair line crack going down the side of the new toil bowl.  Suck big time.  So we used the new toilet that was supposed to go into the new bathroom for the main bath.  At least we got that fixed.  He put a new temp. control facet on the bathtub and all is well for now.  We just need to order a new toilet for the new bathroom.  So one more thing out of the way.  Rowdy will be over today to start the tile.  I can't wait to see how that looks.  I am getting excited because things are coming together and I want to see the finished product.

It rains, it pours

I went to the dentist last week for standard cleaning visit.  They said there was something going on around one of my  second from the rear molars.  They sent me to a specialist in Provo.  He found that the bone around the molar was degenerating and needed fixing.  So Friday I get to have surgery where they cut the gum clean and scrap all of the bacteria out around and under the tooth.  Then they put cadaver bone in where my bone is gone and sew me back up.  Just another set back.  The bathroom is coming along really good.  The drywall is finished.  Rowdy will start the tile Thursday.  I plan on painting the bedroom ceiling and the one accent wall on Saturday and the other walls on Sunday.  Things are coming together better than I expected.  With the Arthritis:  I don't hurt that much more doing the extra work I have been doing than when I last all night on the couch and watch TV.  When we get Brandon and the family settled in and rooms are done I will find out if I can run.  I think I can.  I need to start riding the bike soon because I have a 40 mile ride in Logan in June.  Just Run
