Away for a while:
To my regular readers and those who occasionally drop by; due to some major remodeling taking place to all of the apartment units at the complex where I live, I will have to leave my apartment for at least two weeks.
I could stay in the apartment during the work, but the noise from electric drills and saws, hammering, the dust and workers wandering in and out all day, starting at 7:30 a.m., is just a bit more then I can take.
The work being done is ripping out all existing kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities, the installation of all new cabinets and counter tops,
new stoves, refrigerators, sinks and the installation of dishwashers. The bathrooms are getting brand new tubs, toilets sinks and vanity cabinets.
While all of this inside work is going on, there are two separate work crews outside. One crew is tearing off the old siding and preparing to install new siding and the other crew is ripping off the old roofing and installing new roofing. And with the work taking place inside and that on the outside, we have lost our parking spaces due to all of the construction vehicles.
In the spring, they will be installing all new windows & fuse boxes in each apartment and new electrical transformer boxes outside at various points around the complex, and new furnaces and water heaters. Once all that is done, they will bring in the big equipment to re-grade and re-landscape the whole area. WOW, I CAN HARDLY WAIT!
So, I will be back blogging in about two weeks when the inside work on my apartment is done and I can get back in. In the meantime, take care, stay well and stay safe.

Lucky you! Hope to see you in two weeks my friend, God bless you!
So happy about all the wonderful remodeling.
Leticia, you do realize the major drawback to all of the remodeling is that our rents will be going way up when our leases expire.
there is really nothing I can do about that as this complex is considered low income and rent controlled, but management already got permission from H.U.D, a couple of months ago, to jack up rents by $25.00 a month, just so that they could get the loan to start all of the work.
In the meanwhile, the occasion of your 'vacation' gives some of us the chance to catch up on your other posts... uh, those missed since my absence.
I celebrate your return soon~!
Yo, My "Choctaw son", great to hear from you and glad you are still among the living. How is everything going? I am going to try and get to my computer later this evening to post an important video concerning Obama's refusal to appear in a Georgia Court hearing this morning in regard to his eligibility to hold the office of President.
I wish that Mr. Obama would refuse to appear anywhere, for the rest of 2012, too, Abouna.
That would suit me just fine too.
