Keeping Count
Posted by Clifford under Housing
Here’s where I am at this week.
- Thanks to the French handyman, I now have a stove. They are redoing one of their apartments completely and replacing the stove was something on their checklist. It was a minor feat in gymnastics to get the stove through my door but it’s in. I was warned to sanitize it completely before using it. I think maybe the former tenant was using it to dry out his marijuana leaves.
- The floors are done. The second coat of varnish was drying as I left last night. And they look great! Photos to come! Lesson learned here: Never have hardwood floors made of pine. Never!
- The walls in the front house have been primed. Once the varnish has dried, the paint will go on quite quickly. I might have to do a majority of it myself. The handyman volunteered to do it but they can’t keep giving me all this free time.
- I started working on Phase 2 by building a brick path down the side of the front house. My back is tweaking today but it already looks great.
- The back house is finished! ROAR!
What’s next?
