When last we left the inhabitants of Walt's World, they were wailing and gnashing their teeth over the inadequacy of their poor old laptop. As luck would have it, the very next morning, Josh received an email from MacMall advertising BLOWOUT PRICES!! Personally, I wouldn't call them so much "blowout" as $90 off, but given the precarious state of our computing abilities, we decided that it was time. Plus, six months same as cash means we don't have to actually shell out any cash until December. (I wouldn't be expecting any nice Christmas presents if I were you.) So, here's the inaugural post from the brand spankin' new MacBook. It may not look any different to you, but it sure is nicer over here on this side.
Life in the Spickler household pretty much continues to revolve around the construction project going on at the rear of the house. Walt has decided that his life's ambition is to be a builder like Mr. Steve (our contractor) and Charlie, Chris and Julio, Mr. Steve's crack team of "worker-men".
Mr. Steve brought Walt some toy "construction tools" that look suspiciously like gardening tools to me. But Walt apparently hasn't noticed the difference because every afternoon after the guys clear out, Walt clocks in for some hard work doing 'struction in the backyard.
Meanwhile, the taller construction workers have made great progress. Drywalling is in progress and the porch is finished except for the screen and the roof.
When cutting the hole for the door from the bathroom to the new room, they uncovered this gorgeous remnant of 70s decorating:
All in all, it looks like things are on track for us to spend the summer enjoying our new room and porch. And blogging. Of course blogging. Because now we have no excuse.
