810 Kitchen Remodel

Week 28

Week 28 was a big weekend, all outside of working on the kitchen. Most importantly, the week was spent studying for my LEED AP test. The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is a community of more than 6,900 organizations from every sector of the building industry united by a common purpose: to transform the building marketplace to sustainability. You may ask, what is a LEED AP? A LEED Accredited Professional™ is an individual that has earned the distinction of demonstrating their ability to serve on a LEED project team and provide detailed knowledge of LEED project certification requirements and processes. A LEED AP also has a command of integrated design principles. LEED accreditation is awarded to building industry practitioners who successfully demonstrate these proficiencies on a comprehensive exam. So if you are going green, I am your AP.

Friday started off by passing the test, then the rest of Friday was preparing for the 27th was the annual Horst Haunted Halloween 2006 party. For those of you who know, this does take an entire days preparation. Here are some pics of the highlights from the evenings festivities.


Saturday of course started in the wee hours of the morning mostly intoxicated for the most part. Nothing a sobering car ride to Toledo can't work out. Saturday the 28th brought a family wedding of cousin Heidi and fiancee Jim. Heidi as you may recall also had appendicitis not so long ago. The wedding was good fun and another day of drinking and "getting back on the horse" as my mentors told me while sliding another beer across the table. The most interesting highlight of this evening was Jenny being picked up by a 41 yr old man. No matter a roughly 22 yr age difference.
