London

So I finally have the internet in my room here in London so I can catch up. Upon arriving in London, my luggage was lost by British Airways. So unfortunately I had to buy some clothes for two days. Meanwhile I have been here in London I have been able to visit most of the sites including, The Tower of London and Tower Bridge, Houses of Parliament, and attend a service at Westminister Abbey. It is quite a change of pace here taking the tubes to get around. It is extremely crammed here and we were living in a hostel for the first two weeks. That is four-six people in a room and between six rooms two bathrooms. Tough. Well London has been great and we have been able to meet with many companies here. They have been wining and dining us trying to get us to work for them. Our COSC program has a blog http://www.ukcosclaw.wordpress.com/. Check it out. Later this afternoon I will get to the stories of Italy. Oh and I got to see England versus the USA in a soccer match. Let's just say it was amazing! Oh and of course we lost 2-0. We didn't bring anyone good and they brought the house on us. haha. Oh my number if anyone needs to get a hold of me is 0750-354-9840. I am not sure the country code. It is my cell. Later

Ring Day

Well the day finally came: April 4, 2008! Well I guess this means that I am actually going to graduate, and only after 7 1/2 years. Hey I am getting my piece of paper, right. Well it was a good day with junky weather at first but now I have my bling. So I guess they should start hitting me up for money soon, huh.

Juwanna is Gone

So here is the story. It was 6:45 A.M., I was about a half/mile from work making a turn and never saw this truck which sideswiped me pretty good. I did a few spins, airbag never came out, and my car was totaled. No injuries. A little stiff on my right side of my back. Not the best way to start off a busy morning. Any questions just call me. Later.

FC Dallas

On Saturday I was able to go to a FC Dallas versus LA Galaxy charity fundraiser game. It was actually really cool. We were on the fourth row so we had pretty good seats. Pizza Hut Park is a really cool place. It is a big hole in the ground essentially. The first picture is of the field and the second is of David Beckham arguing with the side referee. Some yahoo always has to put his head in the way. For example the third picture has Beckham getting yellow carded like 15 feet in front of us. I forgot my camera again so I had to use my iphone. The last picture is of Landon Donavon yelling at the ref also. The game ended tied at 0-0. Our goalie made some incredible saves. Oh by the way, no sitings of Victoria. Darn.

Dried in already

I haven't been able to take pictures for a few days and we have been getting too much rain lately. So actually all the work between the last pics and these is about two days worth. They move pretty fast, especially when we are always fighting the rain. We have in the subdivision about 12 or 13 or homes in the construction process right now. That is still going up due to our saleslady who is going nuts selling homes. On my home they are scheduled to put in the HVAC system and start doing the electrical wiring throughout the house. Then I will need to get an inspection which won't pass the first time because they never do and then we will fix the things we need to and get ready to sheetrock. Then I will need an inspection. Does anyone see the one reoccuring thing? We have to have an inspection pretty much every phase. It's good but really slows us down and gets annoying when the inspectors are full of themselves and on power trips. Oh well.

Framed!

So when you have a break of two days that are good weather, or I should say better weather, this is what can get done on a house. However we are supposed to get more snow for two days and then it is going to warm up to the 70's again. This house was framed in a day and a half with a crew of 15 guys. They get it done quick. With the upcoming bad weather it is going to sit in this stage for 4 days probably.

Who would've thought

Snow in March. Reminded me of Utah but then I realized that probably by noon today it would all be melted and gone and by tomorrow it would probably be 80 degrees again. It was pretty cool though. However as you can imagine, not much can be done on a house that hasn't yet been framed.
