woooow. I'm impressed that I remembered my blogger password. Cool cool cool. Now we'll see if the automation that gets the blog entries to my website work as well. That'd also be cool.
Things are good in my world today. I'm definitely in a Friday mood and it's only Thursday. I guess that's a bad omen for tomorrow. So much work to do. So little desire. C'est la vie.
The house is moving as slowly as ever. I have decided that if I don't want to freeze my butt off this winter I should get off of it and install my thermostat. It's getting to the point where it's consistently in the low 60's in my house, and I'd like it just a tad warmer. We'll work on the automation part later. For now I'll be happy with cold = on. Warm = off.
Of course there's always painting to be done. I've done most of a first coat of trim paint in the dining room. If things go especially well, I'll get the trim done this weekend too. Once my cracked rib finally heals (thanks ed) I'll be able to get down on the floor and paint the baseboards. Then it's on to the pink room (thank god).
I'm figuring that what I'll do for the floor repairs is pull up the affected boards in an area, and save them. I can cut the bad stuff out and use the shorter boards where I can. That'll save me wood, and hopefully preserve some of the texture. I need to take up a good piece of wood and take it to a flooring place to get matching lumber. I may end up buying a planer sooner rather than later if I have trouble matching the thickness. That'll be fun. Of course once the floor is all patched, it's time to move all of the stuff currently on wood into the garage, kitchen and sunroom, and sand and finish the floors. I can't wait for that to be done!!!! I want to move in and really start living in my house, not just keeping my things there.
I am hoping that I might get an influx of funds from dad's stuff. If I can get the money, I'd like to hire a contractor to replace the foundation, build a two car garage in the back yard, replace the driveway, sewer pipe, and walkway, and landscape the back yard. That'd be SOOOO awesome to have that stuff done. ESPECIALLY if I could have a workshop in the new garage. Awesome, Awesome AWESOME!!!!!
Siiigh. I guess I need to get some work done. Back to it.
