We painted ... a lot. Ceilings and walls in 2 bathrooms, the kitchen and most of the den; 3 windows, and 4 doors, and there's still a lot left to do.
Our new appliances arrived, two out of five of them are hooked up properly. Home Depot showed up without long enough hoses for our washer, and our side vent kit for the dryer is on backorder. In an unusual twist, the guy who was supposed to disconnect the gas hose to the defunct fireplace disconnected the stove instead. That's a phone call for 9AM tomorrow morning.
We managed to clean up about half of the dead tree in the back yard, and a kind neighbor took a portion of it to use as firewood. The rest is out by the curb and I hope the City picks it up tomorrow.
We temporarily cordoned off part of the backyard, since we've had non-stop visitors just wandering through. One offered to take the tree down for a fee, the other wanted the metal shed, then there was a dog doing its business, and lastly a group of kids from down the block. The fence is moving up on the priority list.
And the crowning achievement, Henry hung drywall over the space that used to have a fireplace!
The progression of the refrigerator corner:
First it was green and white
Then it was blue.
Finally, the fridge showed up!
The drywall story:
We started here, after the plywood hearth came up.
We made it to here after having the gas line disconnected (or so we thought)
Now we're here! Drywall up!
