Dry wall dudes finished the second coat of muddin. You know you’re getting old when “muddin” takes on a whole new and unfun meaning. Dudes also put dry wall up where the Rusty and HoodRat got in a fight. And they redid the moldy wall in the washroom. The wash room was not part of the original house that was built in the 50’s. So, on the other side of the wall that was moldy due to leak #2 that the dudes fixed, is the original exterior wall of the house. Dudes found a couple of loose 220 volt wires that weren’t connected to anything. They were just cut open and hanging around. Proof again that our house is literally trying to kill us. Is this the house that Steven King built? Some sort of sequel to “Christine,” the murdering car. Well, if it’s not the house killing us, it’ll be whatever is killing the black birds.
T likes to remind me that it cost about $75/ ft2 to buy a new house, but about $100/ft2 to remodel one.
T and I are enjoying camping out in our small @$$ living room on our king sized mattress. We have it pushed up against the sofa (like we have any other options). T likes being able to lean back on the couch to watch tv in bed. He said, “Baby, maybe we should have gotten one of those medical beds.” You know you’re getting old when your spouse recommends a freakin medical bed!
The babies are spending the night at grandmother’s house. And by babies I mean Rusty and CupCake (Papillion/Shi Tzu mix). I miss them.
Tomorrow’s agenda: 3rd coat of mudding. I am so sick of the dry wall dust. I got a towel out of a closed cabinet this morning for my shower. I plopped it down on the toilet seat lid, and a puff of white smoke went off like a bomb over Hiroshima.
Oh, K...it's going to look so great once it's all finished. Tell T that a new house just doesn't have the character that an old one does, but it's a whole lot more work! $25 trade-off.
