Remodeling the House - Upstairs phase 1

Here you will see a quick video of our current progress remodeling our first house. The upstairs bathroom was not set up very well and the laundry room was in the basement....we are in the process of making a new laundry space and re configuring the bathroom. A few weeks of work have been put in and a few tons of plaster have been taken out....but as you can see there is more work to be done.

Please Enjoy...

Take a moment to consider the following...

This next election 

will decide the fate of 

America.

please take a moment out of your day and 

give this post a read.

I want to make something clear to every person who has

attending college over the last 4 years with the assistance of

 federally funded student loans and grants, your education 

would not be possible under a Romney Ryan presidency. I 

am so proud to be a college graduate and I thank President

 Obama for that, my parents thank him for that; I think 

everyone should be thankful that I could get an education,

 get a job, buy a home with my best friend, purchase durable 

goods (washer,dryer, refrigerator), and pay taxes that fix 

roads, pay for public education, and fund programs for my 

grandparents.

A little mud slinging from either side should not blind you to 

the apparent facts....if America chooses the wrong president 

everyone who doesn't already have money will never ever get money

The cycle will repeat

and we will fall into a regression again and again and again

Top down economy will never work...rich people don't 

believe in America anymore. They would much rather go live

 in their mansion in Dubai than spend their money

 re-investing in the American Dream

Long Live Obama
May he help American in our time of need

Ravaged Artwork: the many employees of WTP

The food industry is an excellent place to meet interesting people...if you have never been a waiter or line cook I do suggest you give it a try at least for a little while so you may better understand what it is like to live on 8.50$ an hour....if you are lucky


One day before I started work I came in to see a wall of old pickle buckets
Instead of taking the buckets to the trash my awesome scummy coworker decided to illustrate the many employees of the pub.
At first I found this very childish and a vast waste of time....however upon further investigation a lot of thought and hard work went into a few of these...
