My Life: The Construction Zone

Okay I've been a little out of touch for months. I havent meant to be a stranger, its just that well...my blog sucks. I've tried to give it a little bit of a facelift...so let me know what you think...ill get there eventually. I've become quite frustrated with my life. I left a job, that well, wasn't my career path, was in fact, in this sorry excuse of an economy, a check-paying and in turn, bill-paying, cash-in-hand job.
Yup, one of those.
Since moving to New Hampshire, I havent had a lot of luck. I am happy to say that i just found out ( I feel like a retard for not finding this out sooner!) but New Hampshire is quite relaxed when it comes to substitute teaching. So i've signed up for several districts and am in the process of signing up for more....I plan to blanket this commuity with my availability to substitute... you will accept me in the job market New Hampshire.
I've also applied to everything under the sun, but i won't get into that right now. It frustrates me and frankly gets the obscentites rolling right out.... (several gestures come to mind, but ill stop here...)
As for the rest of my life, when im not filling out applications and doing annoying online job searches and even more embarressing and irritating, door-to-door "are you accepting applications or hiring" stop-ins, I've been helping work on my apartment. It feels like its taking forever, but honestly, its amazing at how fast things really have gotten done. What took us several weeks was leveling out the subflooring to the kitchen addition that was built while the exterior wall was still up in between the apartment and the new addition. WHAT A PAIN. But now that is done....along with 90% of the insulation, backing behind the kitchen cabinets, electrical work, plumbing in the kitchen (the bathroom still has yet to be touched)...
OHHHH we've been busy!!!!! And here is some proof!!

Here is some of the kitchen plumbing as well as the electrical work for the garbage disposal and dishwasher:


Here is some of the electrical work for the backdoor lighting, Back flood lighting, 3 way switch in the kitchen, dining room chandelier...etc :)




Some of the lighting...highhats in the kitchen/dining area:



The Kitchen and dining room, rough layout, kitchen sink cabinet is moved in front of the picture window but will not stay there, its just there for plumbing access..


View from the backdoor, the kitchen sink and cabinet will be located underneath the small window, dining room/eat-in kitchen area will be right in front of the large picture window area to the right of the picture



Large picture window and the great view of the stream and woods behind the house

The beautiful view looking out of the picture window:

We have made quite a bit of progress since these pics were taken, but i havent taken my camera up in almost two weeks! More to come I promise! I have lots of design dilemma's coming up so i'll need your help!!!!! Keep checking back..
