I know, I know. I’m a terrible, negligent blog owner.
I don’t feel quite so bad being MIA on these here pages, as there’s really been little to report on the REI front. My potential line of credit with the locak bank didn’t quite get signed off on before the US financial crisis of doom, brimstone, and other really, really bad stuff hit (or didn’t hit, depending on your viewpoint), so things have been on hold there for quite awhile.
Things seem to be back on track now, though, and I’m meeting with the bank SVP I’ve been working with on Friday to sign all the papers and officially establish the line of credit. So that’s good news, and should hopefully provide some actual, you know, REI content at some point in the future in these environs.
But probably not in the immediate future, as the renovations on our home are about to kill me. It’s nice having a hard deadline (my wife is having a big party for her 30th birthday on October 25th) to get stuff done by, but I bit off a bit more than I could chew, so the last month or so has been pretty hectic on the home work front, with much of the interior and exterior of the house getting a fresh coat of paint, the guest bathroom completely gutted and renovated, a new garage and deck, and who knows what else.
So the current plan is to tak it easy for a few months and start seriously looking for a property to buy during the winter doldrums. Or maybe a lot to build a house on, as I’ve been kicking around some crazy ideas in that realm as well.
