Day 51 my last weekend of summer break

I am home from conference. Las Vegas was fun and tiring. 

The bathroom remodel project is getting close to being complete. 


The sink just needs to be hooked up to make it usable. 
Next week we call the glass door company to get them to come and measure. 
We also have the medicine cabinet to be installed and a built-in cabinet over the toilet that it still being built. 

Today is Saturday. Day 51 of my summer break. I will be back to work on Monday. So this my last daily entry. I will, however, post some pictures here when the bathroom is complete. 

It has been an interesting experience keeping a blog. I will probably do it again sometime

Thanks for reading.

Day 46 (day 1 Las Vegas conference) + ( day 6 bathroom remodel)

7:30 am went for a walk. A very pleasant 75 degrees. 
Walked across the street to the new Aria hotel and casino and their Crystal mall. 

This is a bar in the mall  looks like something else I think

The lobby of the Aria. 


Shot of the Bellagio on the way back to the Paris. 



Had breakfast at Le Cafe in the Paris  


Waiting for conference doors to open. 

Conference floor with 1485 delegates in attendance. 

This afternoon is speeches by candidates for office. This is an election year for association officers. 

After the dinner break we start on resolutions. Resolutions are the major part of the conference. We will probably be discussing and voting on resolutions through Wednesday night. 

As for the bathroom at home. It doesn't look much different yet. But out sink and vanity arrived. 
It is in the dinning room at the moment. 

I think that is it for today.
