You'd think I was moving. The whole north end of the house is e-m-p-t-y. Well, except for the freezer, fridge and a couple dining room chairs. It echoes real bad. I don't like that. Oh well...gotta have the bad before the good.
What's left of my kitchen stuff is in my closet. Works pretty good. I have big shelves in there and I have Space Bagged a ton of stuff off the shelves and now I have dishes, food items, silverware, etc in my closet.
I went to Lowe's today to look for some GE compact flourescent bulbs that Duke Energy sent coupons out for, not there, went to Home Depot, not there....no one has the damn bulbs!!! What the freaking good are the freaking coupons if the bulbs don't exist!!!!! I am gonna complain. Don't send me cool coupons knowing I can't find the stupid things. Rude...just plain Rude.
I am all installed in my room. Chair, giant footstool, big TV, HD box, red table, toaster oven, toaster and all. It is rather cozy in here. Not uncomfortable at all. I am surprized at how much stuff I got in here! I am amazed I got all the crap out of the family room and the kitchen and into this end of the house. I did discover that I will HAVE to put the fridge in the garage.....it won't fit thru any of the doors down on this end of the house. Dammit. I wanted to keep it in the house. Oh well.
Well, gotta go answer the call of the dryer. Later......

Way too much to do....
I am up. I don't wanna be up. It is 4am on my day off and I am UP. Dammit. Oh well, better get started on my list. I have to clean my room to the Nth degree, fold up the treadmill, shove everything over to that side of the room to make room for my chair/footstool, do some more Space Bag stuffing, move things into my room/closet, empty the rest of the kitchen, clean out the fridge, move as much as I can do myself of the family room stuff to somewhere...and I have to go in to work tomorrow to get the Hteam started on their maintenance. Dammit.
M&M will be here Tuesday nite to begin the total destruction of my kitchen!!!!! YEAH. I am hoping we can get it done easily. I would like to be able to get the carpets yanked and maybe some painting started next weekend. Construction starts the 19th. OMG!!! It's really gonna happen!!!
I ordered 3 rugs this morning. One for the family room, one for the front entry, and one for the dining room. They are all the same family of rugs so the colors should go fine...all different patterns. Penney's has a promotion going now and I got all for under half price!!!! Sale price + 15% more off. Not too shabby.
I really would love to go back to bed. Dammit. I thought I would go to bed early and sleep in an hour or two....but...NOoooooo....up at 2am. Dammit.
Well, I guess I better go find the vacuum and my mask and get busy. The windows are open so I suppose I should close my room so I don't distrub the neighbors.......Later

EEEWWWWWWW........
I am icky, slimey, dirty!!! Been cleaning in the garage all day...yuk. But I got the work bench apart, bottom shelves/legs seperated in half, and one half disassembled and the other slid down out of the way of the new "vestibule", tool box moved to the other end of the work bench, swept, swept and swept some more, de-spidered everything I could reach (I hates spiders...ick), all the crap on the top of the work bench sorted and organized in these little bins I bought at the United Plastics Outlet in Lima some time ago (love that place...anything plastic..they have it), tools cleaned and put in cases, paint sorted to be disposed of, cleaned up the mess the squirrels left on the bottom shelf (they had a winter store in there...a whole corn cob & a pile of walnuts), made a huge pile to go with the garbage Monday nite, and wrangled the 8ft x 1.5" thick x 2.5ft (with vise on one end) work bench top off the legs - stood it up on its end-and leaned it agains the wall at the nose of the truck...WHEW!!!!!! I am sitting here cooling off a minute so I can go take a shower.
And YES Alex....I wore my mask all day!!! I just used the puffer too, just to get ahead of the game. But now that is off the list.
I went to Amish country yesterday ... Apple Creek to be exact. Went to see the cabinetmaker and iron out any questions either of us had. He is a very nice guy...his shop is in his horse barn with the Sunday Buggy. He has 3 boys and his wife was watching 4 of their cousins, so there were 6 boys and 1 girl tearing around the yard. He built them a coverd wagon to play in (uses it to haul stuff in icky weather) and they were having a ball. Cute kids.
My cabinets were a pile of cut sticks and such on a cart in the shop. The wood is very pretty...hard maple. We changed the configuration of a couple cabinets and picked hardware. I had gone to Ervin Yoder's open house (Twin Locust Furniture) earlier in the afternoon and found the hardware there. Dark brown "Oil Rubbed" finish. Very pretty with the maple. But anyway, we had a real nice visit and talked about everything under the sun. I got to his house a little after 6pm and left about 8:55pm....and the kids were still outside playing with headband miner's lights on their heads. I talked to the horses and the boys fed them for the night. He built his house...a log home...gorgeous!!!!! His kitchen is his handywork and is really nice...hickory, natural finish, no stain.....very pretty. The gardens out front in the island of the circle drive would make Mo drool. His wife is a very talented gardener.
All in all, it was an absolutely beautiful day. Perfect weather. The Open House was fun too. Lots of beautiful furniture and homemade pie and ice cream!!! Yummmm....I had Cherry pie. There were the cutest little donkeys I have ever seen there...miniature cream colored ones...one had big light brown cow spots on it...wish I had gotten a picture. There was a mini pony too. The younger Yoder's had been leading him all over the place all morning and the little bugger was plum tuckered out....he gave up and curled up in the grass and konked out. Had a nice visit with some of the Yoder girls...they made the pies and an aunt was hand churning the ice cream....best ice cream I've had in a long time...yes, even better than House of Flavors. I did a lot of driving and looking at the farms and such. Very pretty countryside. I just grinned from ear to ear all day.
Because it was so late when I left Apple Creek, I stopped in Bellville (?) off I71 and spent the nite. Very comfortable Comfort Inn. Slept like a log. Up at 5 and on the road about 6:15 with my free english muffin with me in the car. Home about 9:30ish. Then in the garage for the rest of the day.
Well, I gotta go clean up. One of the guys from work bought the big buffet in the front hall and he is coming to get it in an hour or so. So better go if I'm gonna....Later.............
