So Much To Do

OK, it’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted anything on anything, so I thought I’d start with an update on the house.

The past month has been relatively productive. During the first and last week of July I was able to schedule some vacation time, or at least some time away from work, to do work on my house. I suppose it wasn’t much of a vacation. After all, most people take vacations to GET AWAY from work. Not me, however. I use vacation time to do things I can’t get done any otherwise. Anyway…

During July I was able to get most of 4 rooms cleaned out — walls and ceilings torn down and dragged out to the 30-yard dumpster sitting in the driveway. I still have some old carpeting to get out, but that’s minor and will be taken care of later. The cabinets, counter, dishwasher and stove/oven have also been removed clearing the way for me to finish wiring the main part of the house (once I finish getting the ceiling down in the kitchen and cleaning up the debris). So much for moving in on July 31st! The way things are going it may be until spring before I’m in completely.

The dumpster? Well, after ripping out the better part of 4 rooms I can say the dumpster is FULL. Looks like I’m going to need another one to finish gutting the place. If only I had a few more weeks of vacation time…
