01-17JAN10 - Houma, LA

The first two weeks of the new year have come and went with nothing really being accomplished! We return to Houma, LA, every year to see the kids, but also to get our annual medical and dental check-ups done. And as usual problems (thankfully minor) are found that require more tests and follow-up appointments. This invariably results in delays (ie wasted time) before getting the next appointment.

We (ie Corrie) have been working on remodeling the Rebecca & Raymond’s main bathroom. The project started by just removing the wallpaper, but that damaged the drywall. So the bottom four feet of drywall was removed. But to get the drywall out, we had to remove the vanity and toilet. It was then decided to get a new water saving toilet and tile the floor with the left over tiles from the kitchen remodel. One of the unique features of the house is that there is one inch by six inch planking behind the drywall; definitely over built!












Since we had over two weeks until our next medical or dental appointments we decided to fire-up the RV on Monday, 18JAN, and head to Corpus Christi to escape the torrential rains and visit friends.
