Congratulations 🎊....GP

Good morning - Tithe. [&o][&o][&o]

Mrs. USSA was thrilled to turn the corner yesterday and see siding on the house! [8D]

There was more progress inside as well. The tiles are down in both bathrooms, the counter tops are installed in both bathrooms as well as the kitchen, the dishwasher and sink are installed in the kitchen, and the half bath downstairs has both the toilet and sink installed.

Here is a shot of the back of the house with the siding in place. They should be able to start building the screen porch now, instead of just the roof for it that has been there for 6 months.

Here is the counter and sinks for the master bath. You can see a bit of the tile work on the floor. They are rectangle shaped tiles, laid in "brickwork" style.

Last shot for today gives a good view of the kitchen with the counters in place. The sink is installed under the window and the dishwasher beside it. Gas cooktop will go in an opening opposite the sink, and the double ovens will go in the large opening on the right. The breakfast bar counter top is huge. It is 4 feet across the short side, which will give us plenty of room to sit on stools outside the kitchen while cooking continues on the inside. I'll post a better shot of the color of the granite without the protective plastic later on. We peeled back a bit to get a look, and we're very happy with it.

Time to run. There is a turn in my inbox! I love being able to look forward to it and to say that again! [:D]

Love the pictures. Thanks Mike....GP

Good Morning Everyone....GP

Origins was disappointing. Only about a third of the vendor space was being used. There was plenty of people watching though! [:D]

If you ever get to Origins, we'll have to get together. I live about half an hour from where it happens each year.

Origins is a gaming thing right?....GP

Origins is a gaming thing right?....GP

AFAIK, yes.

Something I'd like to do.

Yep, a pretty big convention. Unfortunately, it has evolved from a true wargaming convention (back in the 80s) to a gaming convention. There are things there that I would hardly call a game. My son, son-in-law and brother-in-law love it so I go to get a chuckle or two. I'm always on the lookout for a war-game, but rarely see anything. A friend of my son was there and asked me what kind of games I liked to play. I told him his I enjoyed historical war-games. He said, oh, like Axis and Allies? Most kids nowadays really have no clue.

No clue is so true. My 29 year old daughter and I played some campaign series games once....GP
