Taught PMP classes all weekend. Great group (all west coasters so I ended at 9PM both days). This concludes my 7 straight weeks of working with no days off. Now I get 4 weeks without classes and I’m fully setup at the in-laws while the house continues to be torn apart.
A few photos of today’s progress so far.
LOTS going on today. We dropped 5 trees, one was over 100' tall, almost 4 feet away from digging out the foundation back and just need to go down 3 feet now, half of the rock wall is built!
Day 3 progress.
Day 2 of construction in photos:
Spare bedroom was hauled off. Scales weighed it at 3 tons.
My 2nd bedroom is now a hole.
On a team meeting as my team watches the 2nd bedroom ripped off is leading to some laughs.
My 2 bedroom home is now a 1 bedroom.
It begins.
I swear every day this week I’ve looked in the mirror and thought “are my ears getting larger?” I think that’s a thing but like they look gigantic compared to 10 years ago.
Construction officially starts tomorrow! Have to clear out of the bedroom they’re demolishing tonight and we move out on Thursday. Busy week.
Moving day will be 11/13. Going to move out for a few months for construction.
I don’t use social media so I like Apple Music New Releases which contains artists I listen to or have their songs loaded in my library. My complaint is “singles” Albums I guess are dead and everyone releases singles now. I just want to put on a new album. Where are they?
Snow on the way already.
Continuing to pack. but I think we’re in a good place. Need to figure out storage still and where I’ll put everyting for a few months. a 10x30 storage shed should be large enough for everything and most affordable at just $200 a month.
Starting the Florida Georgia game late with a beer in hand. Still need to do some packing today.
3rd week in a row of teaching classes over the weekend. 2 more weekends after this one then I am taking a month off. Busy but I do enjoy it.
Closed on our construction loan today. Rolling in the $100K I owe on the house and now it’s $600K I owe. Sigh. Should be a good final result.
TomTom has a free app that’s very lightweight and marketed to drivers and the paid app which is more robust but designed for trucks. I’m using the second one still.
If Ads come to Apple Maps, I’m going to find another mobile navigation application. TomTom has unfortunately nearly killed off their paid navigation app rebranding it as something for Trucks / RVs. Amigo, their free app doesn’t support offline maps. Waze & Google have ads.
4 weekends in a row and 5 weeks total in a row teaching classes. Tough work but all for the right reasons.
“Great News!! I am pleased to inform you that your construction loan is now clear to close. " YAY!
Days are numbered for convertible mode.
M1 Max w/ 64GB of RAM. My normal days are about 50% CPU and 30% GPU and about 30% of RAM. When I do upgrade to an M6 class, I can probably stay at 64GB of RAM but unsurprisingly CPU is really where I need the most support. GPU can probably be Pro versus Max.
