well sadly I am afraid not much is going to be happening in the doghouse for a while. my wife has declared that this year we are finally going to remodel the kitchen. so I tore into that today. have about half the cabinets torn out and started knocking down one wall that we are going to move back a ways to move the dining room down a couple feet. it should be interesting but it is going to take most of my play money for a while.
fortunately I negotiated a somewhat unique arrangement with my employer a few years ago. when I renegotiated my contract I got a pretty significant salary boost. however since at the time I was doing ok I asked them to give me the increase in a lump sum payment every march. so this way I always have money if I have to pay in for taxes and it gives me some play money every spring for projects. unfortunately for the doghouse all my play money is going in to new cabinets this year. oh well once I get this done I should be able to use that for a few years and say but honey we redid the kitchen for you and that way I can buy that new multiport fuel injections system for the jeep. it may take a while but I will get it. wish me luck. this kitchen remodel is blossoming into a much more expensive proposition than I had planned lol.
