Otis Trails Bike and Hike

It was a nice night for a bike ride walk in the woods. There were sections that were really good, and made all the hiking worth it. Hopefully by this weekend it will be packed down better. Photo credit: George

Myles Standish Fatbike Ride

Some photos from our Wednesday night ride at Myles Standish State Forest.

Lots of big trees down from the recent blizzard.

Family Room Addition:: Wood Floors

Finished up the hardwood floors this week. I have never installed/finished wood floors before, so this was definitely a learning experience for me. My buddy George was a huge help, not only in loaning me his tools, but also his time. So glad I decided to rip up the tile in the kitchen, having wood floors in both rooms ties the two spaces together. Next up is paint and then I can finally trim out the windows.

Family Room Addition:: Almost Done

I'm thinking about extending the deck behind the garage.

Still need to frame the stair stringers, railing, and decking.

Mark and Alec leading the pack. They came in 1st and 2nd.

Yep, that's me. First bike race in almost 20 years.

More House Suffering

I installed two more windows this weekend. Cutting back the clapboards so that the trim would fit was a huge pain, and took the better part of the afternoon on Saturday. Still need to repair/paint some drywall, and install the interior casings, but at least they are weather tight. Six down, seven more to go.

Bathroom Remodel:: Shower Tile, Day 6

I still need to grout, but at least the tile is done. That's a job I'm happy I don't have to do on a daily basis.

Help Me WIn a Bike Corral for My School

Help me win some much needed bicycle parking for the East Falmouth Elementary School. We have a growing number of bike commuters, but no designated bicycle parking. Our school is one of eight organizations in the running for a Saris bike corral. Voting continues until midnight tomorrow (May 30th), so use the link below and LIKE the Saris page first, then click on the Bike Corral Contest photo. EFES is listed as one of the finalists. We are currently in 2nd place, but only by a couple of votes. You can only vote once so share the page with your friends once you have voted. Thank you!

Bathroom Remodel:: TIle

Got around to tiling the floor this weekend. The shower will have to wait until mid-April when I have a week off. Spent 5 hours yesterday cutting and dry-fitting everything. Way easier than cutting as you go like I've done in the past. Should be able to grout after work this week sometime. Not the greatest pics I know, but you can get the idea.
