Plumbing, wood floors and sheet rock...

Every week I try to spend one day working on my new (very old) house.

A few weeks ago Julia's dad came and we spent a few days sheet rocking the living room. Two weeks ago I started trying to clean the wood floors in that same room (getting no where fast with that job).

Last week I installed a dishwasher. Never done that before, but it went in alright. Took me most of the day, but I got it in. The only problem was that our bad hot water pressure (which makes for warm, not hot, showers) wasn't good enough to make the dish washer work.

So my project this week was to replace a few clogged connectors under the house to improve that water pressure. I ended up trying to do this on a Saturday and ran into some problems, so I had to pick it up this past Monday.

Before it was said and done I had replaced 20 to 30 feet of hot water lines (usually just cutting out the old galvanized ones out with and saws all), and spent over 13 hours on my back under the house.

End result...the hot water pressure is now as good as the cold...the dishwasher works, and we have enough hot water pressure to take hot (not warm) showers.

And I hate working on plumbing now more than ever...

Charles Barkley's Fave Five...

Have you seen the cell phone commercials with Charles Barkley and Dwane Wade??? Basically Wade is trying to figure our ways to get Barkely to put Wade in his fave five. He offers to let him wear his championship ring, he sits in Barkley's TV room and watches highlights of Barkley's playing days etc...

Well this is my attempt to keep up my blog to get back on Doug Gregg's list of Bloggers.

I'm tryin...Come on Doug...Please!!!

This is Hard!

It is hard to keep up with a blog. I want to, but I just don't think to do it...Hopefully I will get better.

Sunday is Julia and my 1 year anniversary. We are going to PF Changs tonight to celebrate, that was the site of our first date (except we were in Columbus, OH).

Anyways...hope everyone is doing well out there in blogger world.

I will try to have more life changing info next time I blog...

Victory!!!

For those who don't know, Julia and I are now in Clinton, Oklahoma full-time. Things are going great. We are working on our new (very old) house, and have been getting to know our church and the town really well.

We had a record 50 attend Sunday morning services a few weeks ago, and had a record 90 at our Awana kickoff 3 weeks ago (70 of those kids). So far so good.

We hosted a 5th Sunday singing this past Sunday and had several churches attend. We had around 125 people there, so it was very crowded and exciting. It made me want to see the church that full every week.

I hope to blog at least every other week, from here on out, to keep everyone updated on everything at Victory.

Long time no Blog

Nobody is probably going to read this. It was been 3 months since my last blog so I am sure everyone has stopped checking.

Lots has been going on, so I am sorry (for those that care).

Check out my next blog for an update.

Yard Work

Today I worked for about 3 hours in my front yard. It wasn't too hot, but it was muggy. I guess it was worth it...it looks a lot better. I wasn't planning on working in the yard, just came home and decided to do it...then I couldn't stop...it was almost adicting. Sure it will be the last time yard work feels adicting.

Settle down.

I used to long to settle down. Get married, buy a house find a long term job, etc, etc, etc. Everything is great, not settled, but great. Maybe I will feel settled when I retire.

Oh, and I am going in view of a call at Victory Missionary Baptist Church in Clinton, OK on June 17th, prayers would be appreciated.
