I have been mostly following along, but my time has been constrained by other things.  If anyone cares, I might have mentioned I have been remodelling our downstairs bathroom (remodel?  no, it was more like rebuilding part of the house from the inside -- talking tearing part of the foundation out and replacing it with rebarred concrete, putting new subfloor on, and so on).  Well, the remodel of the bathroom is complete.  It took nearly a year, but the result is worth it.  Of course, the bathroom makes the rest of the house look like crap, but oh well.

Hey!  You were supposed to contact me about sumthin', remember?  Or are you still waiting for higher ups to speak?
