Condo Floor revisited...

A while back I made a post about redoing my condo floors with slate and a "fake" wood flooring. Well I got the wood down and slate but months went by before I actually put the finishing touches on everything. I finally got around to grouting the slate about 3 weeks ago and getting in the rest of the quarter round. All I have left now is the put the final coat of sealer on the slate flooring and the last trim molding piece between my sun room and living room floors.

Here are a couple of shots I took the other evening of the floors...

This one is from the entry foyer and the transition to the wood flooring. Gotta love how dogs shed hair. I can never keep up :)



And here is the flooring transition from the sun room to the living room. After I seal the slate here I will have a mold piece just like in the image above. Sorry for the sideways view. My camera had auto-rotate on (I hate that option).

Cool Views & More

Just recently I switched places of employment (you can read about it HERE). My new office of this new job is in Midtown Atlanta. Fortunately we are afforded with a great view of the city and can see right down Peachtree Street. With the view I have become more and more conscience of what is happening with Atlanta's development.

One great resource I came across a while back is the Atlanta Metroscapes forum. The forum was started by an enthusiastic high schooler; and soon to be in his first year of college. What is fantastic about the site is its wealth of information about what is happening in the South and specifically Atlanta. So if you have a spare minute or two check it out, and I promise you will see so much of what is happening with Atlanta's growth right now you'll lose an hour before you know it :) .

The image I wanted to post is from our office at night. Below in the image to the bottum left is the 1010 Midtown project (which I am taking pics of weekly). This will be a big first step in the realization of the Midtown Mile (a million square feet of retail space along the Peachtree corridor from North Ave. to 17th Street.

Whats this blog thing again?

Yep... been a while again... Life just keeps getting in the way...

Anyhow, I really want to start making more posts to my blog. I really need to update some things and share some stuff. So, to start, here is the most exciting thing that has happened to me in recent days... I got a DSLR... Woohooo!!! finally!

I have been holding off for some time now until I knew I had the money to pay cash for one. Well, I found a good deal and was able to do a 6 months no interest deal - but the kicker is I will have the cash by August as it is the "magic" month (in case you have no idea what I am talking about, you get two months a year, if you get paid every other week, that have three paychecks in them. If you budget and work it out you can do some damage with those two paychecks :) Anyhow, I digress...

Say Cheeze!!!
