House Log

Alrighty, here's what's been going on recently:

Friday, 11/6 -- Pulled up more carpet tack board. Continue to NOT enjoy doing so.

Saturday, 11/7 -- More of the same, PLUS our awesome cleaning crew of one, Andrea, began her attack on the skin of grime that sits all over everything in the house. Here's Andrea, hard at work in the kitchen and very good natured despite the horrors she discovered atop the cabinets:


We managed to get all tack board off the stairs and out of all upstairs rooms and closets. I hate carpet more than ever.

Sunday, 11/8 -- REAL PROGRESS THAT WE CAN SEE! Brian went to visit his mom after her back surgery, so Andrea and I were back at the house. She cleaned the "princess" bathroom (mine, and yes, it will be pink!) until it freaking sparkled. She also hit some windows, floors, the other hall bath, and the laundry room. I cleaned, sanded, and painted the front door. The exterior is black, and the interior is... PURPLE! It is awesome. This is the first actual color we're getting into the house, and it felt so good. It's like I can now see it becoming our big art piece.
