I still remember the day I showed my mom my tat.

Hmmmm. I'm not sure how I will handle that

you gotta expect a few growing pains with a job of that magnitude... Those things (for me at least) never go perfectly right off the bat!

Soooooo not much difference. LOL Looks great man!! DIY?

That's an expensive driveway! We had ours done last year. Along with some drainage pipe to hide some of our downspout exits.

We've started to entertain paying people as our time becomes more and more valuable and limited. My current project is our mudroom.... Its a soft buffer between the house and garage (ranch style house). I gutted it down to studs. Replacing a short stairwell, sheetrock, flooring, etc... We removed a low window and put a decorative arched window in, higher up. With the exception of the window, the entire project hasnt really moved since demo. Next weekend may be starting to replace the doors (there are three of them in this small room. Two of them have been sitting in my garage for three months. LOL

Demoing plaster and lath is brutal. Nice work man!!

I love the landscaping with the Flag... Perfect touch. Those flag system are $$. I looked into one for our front 'landscaped mound'.

Looks great man! nice work!!

All of our house is in 12 gauge with the exception of the hot water heater and stove iirc. Guessing 12 woulda worked fine for your power tools with no issue.... But overkill can't hurt

What are you using ten gauge for anyways? hot tub?

no interference. The majority of those wires are well more than 6" from the cat5 (a bit deceiving in that pic). The one spot, they are practically touching the romex, but that's a temporary thing. I had them clipped up higher, but moved it when I was tinkering. No interference nonetheless. Did all the phone lines in blue wire, and all the data in grey. I think we have 17 data jacks, and 12 phone jacks IIRC. All I remember is that my hands were raw after terminating all the quadshield LOL... The wire we used came with the extra ground (it was not needed)... A bit thicker than normal quadshield.

When we bought our house 7 or so years ago, my buddy (who works in IT), talked me into gutting the phone and cable system prior to moving in (as part of many other renovations). We ran all new phone wire, and wired the house for both CATV and SAT... The Satelite having home runs back to the 'panel' for each jack. The sat wires are the ones hanging there with terminated ends, but not hooked up. We then ran CAT5 to each room (1-4 jacks to each room) for network. It worked out fantastically, as a year later, UVERSE rolled into town, and our house was pre-wired. Excuse the mess, as a couple wires need to buttoned up, as the gateway was recently replaced, and needs to be reattached to the wall. Also, sorry for the blurry shot. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/11/rynady7e.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/11/uje4ary2.jpg

http://www.bidmc.org/YourHealth/HealthNotes/PrepForPregnancy/HighRisk/Over35.aspx some of the concerns are super amplified over 'traditional' pregnancies, but the chances of occurences (birth defects, etc) are still relatively low. My wife was below 35, but close enough that we researched a great deal of information regarding high risk pregnancies. Also, if you use IUI, or IVF; your pregnancy is typically categorized as high risk. You just have an increased chance of things going wrong.

Nope... anything over 35 is considered high risk. Much greater chance for issues, miscarriage, etc. Statistically speaking.

Awww. Nothing wrong with being a proud mama.

Yeah, we are definitely a fan of daycare. You can't beat the social interaction, and the fact that they typically learn quicker in a daycare setting. As people say, if they don't get the colds now... they will just get them during their first year of school. The older they are, the more miserable they get, and they will likely need to miss school. He's average getting sick every 3 weeks. We get every other one. It's awesome. LOL

daycare's great. I could do without every cold/virus in creation coming back into our home. LOL
