House stuff
May. 15th, 2006 03:23 amThe gutters have been cleaned.
The lawn has been mowed.
40 boxes of stuff we still haven't unpacked have been moved to the basement so that we can actually WALK through our bedroom.
THe pool maintenance guys gave the pool a good running start, although there's still some stuff we have to do before having them in again to vacuum up the last remaining sludge at the bottom of the pool.
The little rolling cart with the flip up leaves has been assembled (by me) and the new desktop computer has been assembled (by spouse) and put upon the cart. And I am using it now.
And the printer has been moved to the same cart, which frees up the rolling tea cart to go into the kitchen.
And last but not least, the bathroom wall cabinet has been hung upon the bathroom wall, no longer living on the living room floor leaning against the stereo, which is where it had been for the past three months.
So, we have a certain feeling of accomplishment for the week just past. I feel as if I'm getting back to normal.
All of which is pretty boring to everybody else except me and Spouse, and maybe Pickle. The rest of you would understand, if you had been weaving your way around the strange placement of furniture and furnishings we've had since we moved in.
Next up:
Install wire shelving on spare bedroom walls.
Adopt a cat from the Harford County Humane Society, which is suddenly swamped with a case of animal hoarding, and get Pickle to accept said cat. Not to mention Gizmo.
Rip up some carpeting, and replace temporarily with sheet vinyl until we can afford hardwood.
Transfer contents of a couple hundred cassette tapes to mini-disk.
Unpack the 40 boxes in the basement.
Move end table and rocking chair to basement.
Rearrange living room china cabinet and etegeres.
Give the chinchillas a thorough grooming.
Trim bunny toenails.
Not necessarily in that order.
