So the first three and a half weeks went by slow for me. but the next three and a half weeks is going to be slower. For the first half of the project i worked out in Innsbrook, remodeling a cabin. now i am working with a pool company called, “Jerry the barefoot pool guy”. I know it sounds funny but its true. Plus the only people who run the company are Jerry and his son Casey. Since there was massive storms, my work has been limited. Most of it was just draining pools.
I am sorry for not posting in a while. My parents decided that we are putting my house up for sale so lots of time has been focused on packing and making the house look pretty for the insurance company. Lots of your guy’s posts are very intriguing. Hope to hear more from you all!

p.s. I will post pictures after this post.

My senior project is remodeling a vacation cabin out in the Innsbrook resort area. It is a small cabin that can hold about 8-10 people. The cabin is on the edge of one of many lakes in Innsbroook.

For the most part so far, I have been either cleaning loose scraps from any other work that was previously done before I even got there or I have been carrying large amounts of wood planks into the cabin.

This week was not so much one whole week. I only got to work for two days, Monday and Tuesday because on Wednesday the cabin owners came by and Thursday I had a doctors appointment.

In terms of what hours do I work out at the cabin, I have to get up at 5:00 am where I drive to a nearby house of a co-worker to get picked up by 6:00 am. It takes an hour to get to the cabin. From then we work until about 12:00 or 12:30 when lunch is. We eat frozen lunches. After our brief lunch of 15 min, we get back to work. 2:30 pm is the time we end the day.

Here are some of the things we have been working on in my first week:
– Laying new tile in the bathrooms
– changing light bulbs in the kitchen
– installing a heated flooring pad underneath the tile
– Installing new fans in the bathrooms

Overall, I am really looking forward to what is to come of the remodeling. I am excited to what it looks like when completed.

For my senior project, I will be with an all-around home renovator by the name of Ken Giddeon. We will be working on house projects around West St. Louis county. Work inside the house who will include: plumbing, carpentry, electrical, and landscaping. I hope to share plenty of picture as the work progresses.
