The bike is completely together and tuned up for riding! I just need a helmet and some spandex and I'm set to pedal my way to work! It took an hour or two to get the derailleurs shifting properly and the brakes catching the way I like them to and a few minutes to put the grip tape on so everything's in order and it actually looks a lot nicer than I expected. If I catch some decent weather over an empty weekend I think I'll scope out the trail that goes by work and into the Baylands. If you're interested, let me know! It'd probably be more fun with a bit of company.
So, after the bike was finished, I started on the Master Bedroom. Painting took one weekend for tarping, taping, painting and touching up with help from the sister. Another weekend was spent running coax to the attic/2nd bedroom, modifying and installing a pair of new light fixtures and installing a new medicine cabinet and mirror and two weekends were spent painting and then cutting/installing baseboards. Now I've just got to touch up the baseboards, paint the doors, clean the carpet and I'm ready to move back in! I think the door painting might happen this weekend if I can get my ducks in a row. Otherwise, I'll try to get a little done in the days I'm taking off next week with some help from mom and dad.
After the MBR's done, the 2nd bedroom will get the same treatment. I'll be sure to get some pics together soon (after I clean up the MBR and after I empty out the 2nd BR to get a kind of before/after effect).
Anyway, I think some sleep is in order.
