I’ve been home in the Philly area for about two weeks now and I’m getting ready to go back down to Atlanta. I’ve kept myself pretty busy since I came home. First, I went to my friend’s wedding (see recent posts). Then I spent a bunch of days work with my friend Eric on his new house in Philly. He basically tore it apart then put it back together. And by tore it apart, I mean completely. The whole house was torn down to the beams. It was completely reframed and it received new plumbing, electrical, etc. It’s basically a new house in an old shell. They’ve been working on it for about 8 months and things are finally getting wrapped up. Here’s a picture of me holding a door handle:

We spent a little while putting these things in all over the house. It’s hard to get them perfectly lined up so the door can’t move back and forth, so it actually took us a few hours just to put in like 7 or so of them. But we’ve been doing tons of other things too. For the most part I suck at this stuff, so I let the skilled labor handle most of the harder tasks. Tomorrow is carpet day for the 2nd floor, so that is exciting.

Also, since I’m back at my parent’s house in Philly kinda rarely these days, I’m taking the opportunity to clean up my old room. My family has been in this house for basically my whole life, so there was a lot of crap in here. I’m going to be making a run to the local landfill tomorrow with all of the crap. There weren’t many things in here of much of interest to the blog readers out there, but I did snap this picture of some of my Wachovia envelopes.

I know, that’s pretty boring too. But these things were all over my room. I found them under the bed, in random drawers, in all sorts of piles of crap, etc. All in all, there were over 30 Wachovia statements here. One was opened. I guess it’s time I logged onto online banking and tell them to stop sending me paper statements. Now I just need to get a shredder for all of these and the rest of the banking/credit card stuff that I found in here.

Even though I don’t really know him, congrats to RaiNKhAN for his WSOP Main Event Final Table. I’ll leave you with this pic that I snapped of him at the 2007 PCA Final Table when he was there sweating the eventual winner Ryan Daut:
