The madness is creeping in, fast Ford

Last night I was out in the coop reconfiguring the other front window so it could be hinged, allowing more airflow through the coop.  Since I already did the procedure once, the second time only took me less than 15 minutes.  We also have started pulling out the tools and other construction supplies in anticipation of moving the chickens into their new, highly upgraded living arrangements.

So today the carpet installation is scheduled to begin.  When we woke up this morning we had to clean out the last items in the bedroom and the office.  Adding the items to the already stuffed great room area just added to the chaos. As I have spent the last couple days in the house with all of the stuff piled up around me it made me wonder how some people live with tons of clutter around them on a daily basis.  Just being immersed in this mess for a couple days is making me crazy. Clearing the office means my home network infrastructure is also down.  I can hear the emails piling up as I type.

There are some positives about having to remove every single item from every bedroom in the house, it allows for changes when the rooms are put back together.  Cindy and I already have identified a few things we want to change up when we refill the rooms.  It also gives me an opportunity to redo things in a more organized and logical manner, like my office network.

Originally we had high hopes that maybe the carpet installers could get all four rooms knocked out in one day however we just got an arrival window for them of anywhere between 10AM and 1PM.  If they arrive at the tail end of that window I doubt our hopes will be realized.  The one thing we have going for us is the prep we did on the floors should allow the installers to jump right in instead of having to do that prep themselves before laying down the pad and carpet.

Yesterday I filled out my survey for the tile install where I aired the various issues we had with it.  After filling the comment field with various negatives I was sure to mention that we thought the husband, who cut and laid all the tile did an excellent job.  Our issues were with his wife and the various screw ups in the materials that were ordered and delivered.  I got a voicemail from the head guy from the local office afterward regarding the survey.  I got his voicemail when I called back.

I forgot to mention that over the weekend Cindy’s brother stopped by with his new wheels, a 2015 Mustang.  It is the 4 cylinder turbo model.  Now I have always been a GM guy primarily and I was very close to buying a new Camaro before I pulled the trigger on my SSR.  I have to tell you, if somebody sat a new Camaro and a new Mustang in front of me and said I could have either, I might actually slip behind the wheel of the Ford.

I LOVE the exterior redesign they did with the 2015 Mustangs, it just looks great.  The interior is equally awesome with all of the bells and whistles you can imagine.  Despite only being a 4 cylinder motor it pulls like a beast thanks to the addition of the turbo.  It just felt great during the 10 mile or so test drive we went on. Despite it’s small displacement the motor cranks out something around 315 horsepower.  If you jump up to the V8 GT you enter into the neck snapping power realm.  The 15 Stangs are a sweet, sweet ride.
