What I've been up to.

I apologize, for the last two days I've taken a little off time. Boy did I need it.

During the weekend, I juggled working here - with the cops beat - and helping my father-in-law redo the electrical at my house.

The work was fun, exciting, stressful, depressing and all the other little emotions you can throw in.

But living in Wichita Falls and wanting to do any type of construction work can be a challenge.

My father-in-law is a construction genius. I'm telling you, anything that can be done using your hands, the man can do.

You don't really appreciate the craft until you see it first hand. This isn't the first time I've seen it, its just the first time I've had the chance to blog it.

From this weekend though, I've taken two things out of it. Both the city/building officials and TXU are great.

I called TXU to get my electric turned off to do the work and they were there 30 minutes later.
I went to the city to get a home builders permit, and they walked me through what needed to be done to meet code.
When I needed the electricity to be reconnected, TXU called me, I didn't have to call them, to make sure everything was going OK and to tell me they would be there about 3 p.m. They were there at 3:05.

Thanks TXU and Wichita Falls building officials for your help. Last but not least, thank you Lynn Bennett (my father-in-law).
