We went "Under Contract" this morning

[J!m]

Moving is a lot of work.

Fixing up a house is a lot of work.

You’re doing both.

Have a beer.

Had several the other night.... Didn't feel worth a darn yesterday

I got the POD almost empty and one storage unit empty with another almost empty. Had to stop loading and 4 wheel back 20 miles to the house to unload. It was snowing like a MOFO. Got up yesterday and got to use my big honkin snow blower. Took me a few to get the hang of all the levers and shit and I thought the machine was a bit overkill for 5 inches of light fluffy snow until the plow came by and piled it up at the end of the drive. I finished painting the ceilings and I used my Wagner I bought a while back. It worked excellent and outside of having to do a bit of prep work, made quick work of the job. Now I'm getting up and helping roll out the walls. Gotta get the walls done since the carpet in being installed on Wed or Thurs. I've had enough for sure. Just think, we get to do 2 bathroom remodels and the kitchen remodel too after we get the rest of the house livable. Waiting on the Well Company to give me a date for the sinking of a new well.

Glad that POD is empty. Reads like they were able to get it to the house instead of leaving it down by the road.

yep, he had enough clearance to get under the wires. It's not quite empty though. The furniture is still in there since the carpet goes in on Thursday.

Damn, got surprised at 5:45 this morning by the carpet layers. They didn't know we were staying in the house while renovating.

The wife told me carpet was Thursday..... I missed getting a few squeaks in the floor fixed. Oh well......

I put in some screws into the sub floor but didn't get them all addressed. Some say it adds character to have a few squeaks. I don't like them. Luckily I have plenty of drop cloths as I have a few spots on the ceiling where I hit it with the wall color. I ain't no painter (roller type, and my cutting in is OK).

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

The carpet guys are vacuuming and on their way out. The Living room is finally ready for some furniture. I'll save the woodwork for when we get the picture window replaced in the spring.

the fun continues. They are drilling our new well today. I didn't see Lee out there so it should go smoothly

Just kidding. They drill today and do the hook ups in the next few.

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Busy busy busy.... I'm going to install a new water heater, and the downstairs bathroom is getting gutted for ne terlet (it will handle a bucket of golf balls in one flush), a new vanity, and new flooring. Plus, I have a new WOPL build for Ronnie which I'll start in the next few days.

 

[J!m]

If Lee drills it, you'd have oil, and be rich...

Maybe not so bad?

 

[laatsch55]

If Lee drilled it, it would be a dry hole..

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

The well has been sunk,, they are hooking it into the system today. It will be nice to have full pressure and non-stinky water.

I cleaned up the pump room and insulated it with the Pink Board.

What! no rocks?

Dig around here and you would unearth at least 50 potatoes...

Yep, we're all sand out here.

 

[J!m]

They got your snow all dirty!

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

They got your snow all dirty!

And my dirt all snowy

 

[Gepetto]

Yep, we're all sand out here.

Glacial moraine here, glaciers stopped and dropped their plow load right here...

Many years back, I had to dig a trench for my pool heater gas line and the trench started at 2 feet wide and had to go to 4 because the sand kept caving.
