Remodel Update Week 1
The first week of the project really just focused on getting things ready for real work. The deck was tore apart so that the new mudroom foundation could be put in. The first part of the work on the support structure of the house started. We are removing a central support post in the basement to open the space up for the family room.
Tammy got two tickets to the Twins for her birthday from my Mom, with babysitting included.

First Twins game for me of the 2011 season and first game for Tammy since Target Field opened. Beautiful day for a game!
Memorial Day Tribute
My friend Dennys Bisogno is a great photographer and is now doing some video work as well. Here is a video he did for Memorial Day in River Falls, Wisconsin. Touching.
He shot this on his Canon 1D and edited in Final Cut. The clip of the elderly soldier walking down the path at 3:40 is just great.
Mazie's 2nd Soccer Season
Mazie is playing soccer again this year with the Cyclones in the Fuller Soccer Club. The whole team has improved a ton and there is some improvement to ball handling this year. Mazie is having a great time too.
Tyler figured out how to climb into this area of Mazie’s art table. He thought it was a lot of fun, until he couldn’t figure out how to get out.
Remodel Project Starts
This week we started the remodeling project on our house. I plan on taking photos of the process. It’s a decent sized project. We are lowering the floor in the basement, putting in two egress windows, installing a new furnace and air conditioning unit and adding a mud room to the back of the house. It’ll be just a little under four months. They start demolishing the floor in the basement this week.
Here is what it looks like now.
Hot Dashboards
It was really hot today. It seems that the thing to do today was to take a picture of your car dashboard to prove it! This is what I saw on Facebook just now.
It was really hot.
Congrats to Jim on First Marathon!
This weekend my friend Jim ran the Minneapolis Marathon. This was his first one and he looked great, even at the end!
