I mentioned in the news post that we have been working on the house. We are fixing up the house in order to list it for sale. We were planning on showing it the end of this month, but the amount of work that needs done and the amount of time we have don’t match up. We’ve hired a friend of ours who is a contractor, he is doing most the major stuff then lis and I have been doing the painting and smaller stuff that I know how to do.
So far we have put a new fluorescent lamp in the extra bedroom and put a new ceiling in. The old light only had 2 tubes, the new one has 4 fluorescent tubs in ti and let me tell ya.. It’s bright in that room now! Like I said, it’s the extra bedroom, it’s where my closet is and mostly just a storage room for all our stuff..lol
The other room we’ve worked on is the bathroom, We ripped down the wall paper, only to put up new paneling.. go figure.. We added some trim and have spent the last few days painting the walls and the cabinet and doors. We got new nickel knobs, towel holders and new faucet.. Everything is up but the new faucet, I need to wait for the snow to melt so I can go shut of the water.
Let’s see, what else have we done.. Oh, bought new carpet for the front and back rooms, it’s in the shop but we still have more painting to do before it will go done. All in all, the house should look pretty top notch, we have some landscaping work to clean up as well before we can sell.

I’ll update as time goes.

Hey everyone, hows it going ?
I haven’t had time to update my sheley.org blog in some time.
As you see, I’ve updated the style here again, some of you may have remember me talking about free wordpress styles, well this is another one I purchased to distribute but it’s kind of a pain to setup and I’m not sure how well it would go over. We’ll see, give me a month or so and I’ll get it up to share with everyone.

Anyways.. Life has been good for me, Alissa and I are getting the house cleaned up to get ready to show/sell. We are looking for a house with more room and a bit newer then the one we are currently in. School is cruising along fine, I’m still passing and looking forward to spring break! We are working with cisco switches, it’s pretty interested stuff, at least for me it is.

What have I been working on ? The end of last year I got a call from a past client in Cali asking me if I wanted to fly over for some website meetings.. Of course I said yes! It was awesome and warm! I think I’ll be going back sometime, this time with Alissa. I’m currently the head Marketing Coordinator for the Crowdgather network.. I’ll let you know more about what crowdgather is when we official go public. All I can say is this.. Currently I’m in charge of 20 forums and I have to make sure they are optimized for search engines, as well as monetize all the forums so my boss can start making some money. We haven’t added ad’s on many forum yet, I’ve just been working on getting the site optimized and posting some links around the web back to it.

With that said, the vBulletin Services work that I was doing during the week, I don’t have near the time for.. I’ve created a vBulletin team that is composed of about 20 vbulletin programmers and designers that I’ve been pushing the work off on to.. It’s worked out for everyone because I asked that the vb team help on the forums, especially if they are making money off vBulletinSetup.

Other then that, hasn’t been to much going on. I’ll try to update this more often now that I have the magazine style template setup.

cheers

Alissa and I had an Art show in Wichita at the Botanica Gadens this weekend. It was suppose to be Saturday and Sunday, but the deal Saturday night got cancled. We couldn’t drop out of our motel room so we went ahead and drove down Saturday.
We didn’t sell anything this show, sort of a bummer We had a lot of buzz going around the place tho. We have several ppl tell us they had heard some others talking about Alissa work in different areas of the park.
I should have taken some pics of the park behind us, we’re up in the sentinel pavilion and it over looked most the park.
I didn’t really talk to any of the other artist at this show, it was only a 7 hour show and I was trying to just get the word out of Alissa’s work and hand out some business cards.
I did get a picture of the Coy fish that were to the left of us. We thought it would be a good spot to gather a crowd, but in the end, they were an easy distraction from the art.
