Young artists

Yesterday we spent the afternoon at our youngest sons school. Where they had different displays at each grades classrooms. The second graders had, amongst many things, a display about the life in the ocean.
We had a great time looking at what they have been working with the last two months and talking to other parents and the teachers.

Lobsters.

Jellyfish.

Fish.

Swimming in the sea.

It's fun to watch and see how proud the kids are showing their family what they have made. Well done.

Turning things around.

There are lots of things in my life that I needed to change.  Last autumn I started doing these changes making one small step at the time. But now it seems I've made a few mistakes. The first one is waiting to long before I made the changes. It's not critical but if I've started earlier I would have come farther than I'm now, and that feels frustrating. The other one is much more critical. I didn't involve the most important person in my life, my wife, in the process. My plan was to fix everything before I told her what I had been through. Doing this I've pushed her away from me, and I can't forgive myself for that. I must do everything to win her back. Starting with telling her how much I love her and that she is the most important person in my life. Making changes won't do anything if I'm loosing her in the process.

Building a new bathroom.

It has been a few days since I had the last update on the progress building the new bathroom.
I've not been working there since Thursday but here are some pictures of what it looked like when I finished Thursday afternoon.

As you can see there's lots of work left. The next week I will not do anything due to work, but hopefully I will be able too keep on working when we reach the weekend.
I still hope it can be close to finished when we reach April.

Aiming at one thousand.

Blogging for at bit more than three months I've realized that I'm not competing with the most popular blogs that are out there.
I've read about blogs with several thousand readers every day.  That's not me. I'm close to that number in total during my three months of blogging, meaning I won't quit my day job just yet.
I'm also still waiting for the first comment in my blog, wondering what I will do when that happens.
Anyway happy reading and a wonderful day for those who visit my blog.

A night out.

We spent Friday night out with some good friends. Before we went out for a Quiz we had a meal and a few drinks.

We didn't win the quiz but we had a great time both at home before the quiz started and at the quiz talking to wonderful people from our neighborhood.

We had planned a full night out but we finished earlier than we had planned. Anyway we had a great time and will join the next quiz at our local public house.

Still working on the new bathroom

Due to a weekend where I have been working nights we haven't done much progress on the new bathroom. But every little thing is progress and as you can se from the pictures the floor is getting ready for the tiles and we have done some work on the walls.

Yesterday we where planning what we need the electrician to do and now he's working downstairs doing most of the things we need him to do.
Hopefully we will start on the ceiling during the afternoon before I get to work for the last night shift this week.

Tuesday I will sleep most of the day leaving Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday for me to continue finishing the bathroom.  I am still optimistic hoping to be ready for the finish with the tiles, getting the bathtub, sink and the toilet in during the week starting with the 20th of March.
If everything is going well we will have a new bathroom when we reach April.

Slow and steady.

During the last few days my father in law and I have been working on a new bathroom in my family's house. The floor heating has been installed and the new plumbing has been almost finished.

We will continue casting the floor before we start to work on the walls. Hopefully we will be ready for the bricklayers during next week. The week after I will work five 24 hours shifts in a row so there will be no time to work in the new bathroom. Anyway we are on the way getting a new bathroom for the teenagers in the basement.

Working night shift.

In January I started working night shift part time. It's a perfect match to my new project involving my new firm.
After working two or three nights I've got a week off. Combining this with working four 24 hours periods in a row every third week it adds up to a bit more than a full job. Still I do have several days in a row of where I can evolve my new project.
The two first months of this year has told me that this is a perfect combination for me, enabling me to consider even a few more projects.
I will have an evaluation in June deciding if I will continue or if some changes is due.
Working night shift is something that appeals to me and I am quiet sure that what ever the evaluation in June is telling me. Working night shift will be a part of the future.

Building a new bathroom.

The teenagers in our household has patiently been waiting for a new bathroom. Monday this week my father in law arrived and we started building a new bathroom. It's frustrating waiting for plumbers and electricians when we need them but at least we have moved from demolition to building during the last day or so.
This is what it looked like two days ago.

We will continue working and I will hopefully update with pictures of a new bathroom coming to life.
