O.k., another update. Here is an artistic rendering of the front elevation of the house we are building, although ours will look a little different. We went with Jefferson Wade Tudor brick from General Shale with black morter. I know that sounds tacky, but, trust me, it looks GOOD! The brick is already laid, and we are going with white siding to off-set it a little bit. I'm sure that it will look really good.
Well, Good Ole Harv really broke it off in me today. It was like somebody pushed a button at about 12:30 p.m. and the county went crazy! Alot of junk calls, and it seemed like we stayed a call or two behind for the rest of the afternoon. Not to mention the fact that it was, like, 9000 degrees today with about 2000% humidity. Maybe a little bit of an exaggeration, but it was HOT! I worked a burglary towards the end of the shift where a bunch of personal and business checks were stolen, along with approx. $20,000.00 worth of women's jewelry. I had to work over (which I hate, after 12 hours I'm ready to go home!). I got hold of the on-call investigator (who will remain nameless) and explained what I had. Descent crime scene, known probable suspect, etc. He said there was no use in him coming in, and to tell the victim that he would be out tommorrow to obtain prints. Oh well. Glad to put this shift to bed!
I'm gonna post a couple of good links below. Just in case I don't update again before the fact, I hope everyone has a good and safe 4th of July. God bless our founding fathers and our current leadership!

Your new house looks like its gonna be gorgeous! I like that brick/black mortar combination. Have you seen R.D.'s house in Quail Hollow? That's what he did and you're right...it looks good.
Don't you love it when the dicks .. who should all remain nameless .. can't be troubled to come in to work a crime scene. Darned inconvenient of those criminals not to do their thing when the detectives are scheduled to work, isn't it? Oh well...wonder if things would improve if their pay was based on their solve rate. Its like the keyholder who won't respond unless something's actually wrong...heck, I've got to be there, why shouldn't he? >>sigh<< ok, my rant's over, for now :)
Anyway, I feel your pain, brother. I'm not looking forward to climbing back into the 'kevlar maiden' and going back to work week after next. (But just think, it could be worse...you could be working in Pickens County, SC, instead of Carter County, TN. I don't know how those guys can stand it!).
