Cruisin the Causeway

Joined up with Will and Kyle for a mellow pedal out to the causeway in Colechester on Saturday. About 7 or 8 miles from Burlington on the bike path, it was good way to spend the evening. The ride back sucked pretty hard thou - the entire mile or so on the causeway was one giant swarm of gnats. We had bugs everywhere, and the ones that got in our eyes were especially annoying. Good times thou - i’ll be back there for sure. See you there.

About a month ago, my father-in-law Joe came to town to help me install a new front door, columns and roof at the house. Below are some photos documenting what went down.

The look before the hammers came out.

The first step was to rip out the rotting molding above the door, and put the roof in place. Joe had built it back home, so we just had to hoist it into place. It definitely did not feel good when it slipped and hit me in the head. Twice.

With the hard, and heavy, part over, the next step was to rip out the old door and trim, and replace it with the new one.

Much better. All that was left to do was instal the new lights, paint it and put the new numbers on.

finished

While i’m really happy with the new look and character all this adds, i’m really hyped on the house numbers. A bit of internet searching and i found these awesome Mission style numbers. My wife thought I was nuts with the amount of time i spent figuring out the letter spacing on these, but to me, it was worth it. I hope you agree.

With the official start of Summer only a few days away, I felt this clip appropriate to kick it off in classy, Bill Murray style. Man, ’sexual awareness week’ sure sounds fun!

Tanqueray and Tab? Good driving drink apparently.
