the idea of putting a new IKEA Pax wardrobe system in the laundry room to organize things better in there. From there it snowballed into a 1.5 month (and growing) project. Since them I have hauled out lino, tore up K3 board ( I officially hate this stuff now), laid a new 5/8" sub floor and just started painting out the old oak trim into around the doors and their frames to a white colour. I haven't even gotten to laying the new slate we are putting down, nor the new baseboards. Have I mentioned I also doing the adjoining mudroom as well as the laundry area now.
Thanks Mel for suggesting a new PAX wardrobe systems...haha!
It has definitely been a learning experience with lots of help from a few online DIY forums.
I hope to finish painting out the doors this week, start laying slate this weekend, and hopefully start framing in the closest area shortly thereafter. We decided to frame in the area vs buying the wardrobe system to maximize the space in the room. You can buy the PAX doors seperately so I have to make sure my measurements are spot on.
Work is still on warp speed with my launch date being pushed back into the week I am suppose to leave for San Fran. I'll have to work the next two weekends to get things in order but after that I have some breathing room which I hope to start doing a few workouts again.
Speaking of San Francisco...Mel is coming down at the end of the conference so it'll be super awesome to check out the city with her!
Happy Monday Tri-Freaks!

Take a break...or two
Been a long time since I posted...
Lots of news but no time to write any detail about it Not training...no plans on racing...work is eating up all my time. I live and breath it at the moment.
Heading to San Francisco next month for a work conference and staying a bit after wards to tour. Suppose to launch a big project just before I leave so hopefully things return to some sort of normality.
Been taking a Calcium/Magnesium supplement to help with my sleep. Seems to work OK, which I am thankful for. Was either that or a prescription which is something I want to avoid. However, taking three of theses per day (forget the ratio) lands you on the shitter a little more often. Thought I would share that.
Happy Tuesday my friends.
