Man it is hot outside for November. But I guess the rain and the 2 cold fronts coming in will soon change that.

The thing that makes it so bad is the humidity. Last time we're in TX I was bush hog with temp in up 90 lower humidity light breeze felt great. My son comes up and tells I need to take a break

Thanks Jacob, It's the greatest job in the world.

I finished laying the flooring in the baby's room, I took out the closet organizer and painted the walls in the closet. The only thing left to do now is install the quarter round molding on the baseboards. The click and lock flooring is really not that bad to install, it takes me a little longer because I am a better mechanic than I am a carpenter. The main pump for the hot tub has been cutting off and acting crazy so going to try and pull that out today and see about ordering a new one.
