...get out of the kitchen, get yourself a really pretty high-powered vent hood for your new 36" professional range or go out to the lake. Or do all of the above. Which I've done. To my dismay.
This week finds Bennett and me financially responsible for 3 homes. The first, our mortgaged (make that 2nd mortgaged) home which is, as you know, fairly demolished. The second, our duplex rental just down the street from said double-mortgaged removation. And, the 3rd, our lovely little cabin by Lake Austin.

As my beloved Kristin says: "Just who do you think you are?" Somehow I've jumped off the crazy-train of remodeling into veritable real-estate mogul.
Bad news and good news here.
Bad news: for those of you with any aplomb with numbers is we have 3 checks to write each month. For those of us (myself included) who believe in the check-fairy, apparently 3 contracts for living arrangements means 3 checks. Blast that fine-print!
The good news is, remodeling is moving apace, the rental lease is extended through the end of September to accommodate delays on aforementioned remodel and the lake house is PHENOMENAL. So much fun whiling our days away floating, fishing and all-around "chill-axing." We've been totally off work this week, sleeping until the heavenly hour of 7:30 am, having a gruelling day at the neighborhood dock, etc. Next week moves partial work/camp/lake time and 3rd week we back to the camp routine, but we finish our days out in the lake. AAAAAHHH.
So, see below for pictures of remodeling progress this week below. It's been a great week of progress. We found The Drain. This is big--by finding the big waste drain in the old laundry room we don't have to dig a trench across the driveway and front lawn. But perhaps you heard my sigh of relief/cosmic scream when this was discovered? Here's a picture of our trench:

We are really, really close to a "GO" from the city on the concrete pour for tomorrow. From there, Framing Fun and Frolicking ensues. You won't want to miss that.
