This weekend I am continuing the demolition of the master bathroom. I finished ripping out the sheet rock from the closet. I finished up day two by clearing out the shower door and the tile on the shower entry. I was not surprised to find the first signs of dry rot on the wood near the floor. Pictures and video of the work are below.
Exposed wall in master bathroom closet. These electrical circuits are in the powder room. I will make them hot by connecting them to the new fuse I installed.

Massive header in the closet door. Not supporting anything but the doorway. No roof support is on this wall. Not sure why this header is here. Maybe it was scrap and the carpenter decided to use it.
Shower rubber linker in the closet wall.

There is too much fun stuff to do in Austin. This weekend is my last one that I will spend in Texas for a while. I enjoyed spending some time this weekend with a three friends that I have had the pleasure to meet in the short time that I have lived here. I also wanted to visit a few of my favorite spots before I left.
Texas was not deep enough in the south for me so I relocated to Albany, Georgia. I have been her almost a month and the adventure of living in a new city and working at a new institution are still fresh. This week week as I walked across the campus with my paper notebook in hand I was whistling as I passed through groups of students go to classes. I noticed how everyone of them was either talking on a mobile device or listening to music on them. I marveled at how odd I must seem to them as I walked without having any electronic device turned on and instead i was making the music with my lips. Albany Georgia is a lot like Portland, only smaller and really flat. Albany has the Flint River running through the middle of the downtown area and lots of pine and pecan trees all over.
Well finally I have made progress on one of my goals. I have been working on learning PHP and have created my first eCommerce web store. If you want to check it out it is located here . I am going to add artwork to this store and I hope to generate some income from it. One thing for sure is that I'm learning how to create dynamic web pages using PHP and a MySQL database.
