July 2 - Plumbing can be boring

There is not a lot to report on these days unless you like plumbing. Tom Lenig and his son-in-law are busy in the lower level doing plumbing rough in and installing the electrical breaker box.

Brenda and I went shopping for direct vent fireplaces on Friday and also talked to a couple of places that do audio/video wiring and home control systems. We're not sure how much or how little of the electronics we will buy up front. We must, however, get all the low voltage wiring (twisted pair and coax) in the walls this month. We are also considering the installation of a central vac system.

We are narrowing down our choice for kitchen cabinets and will be doing follow-up on details this week.

So what have we been doing lately?
Playing on the weekends and trying to stay cool. The lake is a cool place to be when it's this hot.
Here are some pics from the past two weekends when we've had family here...

Gramma and Connor in the kayak.

My neighbor Pat Munro landed and released this nice 23" largemouth. Over 7 pounds!

(I don't have any personal fish tales to report.)

Tyler and Connor first time in the kayak.
