My Aching Back

My back hurts so bad today. I fell on the ice that was coating the steps on Wednesday and then I was dumb enough to exercise the day after. Today I was dumb enough to lift boxes and pry of dry wall. Ouchies.

I got about half of the room emptied of boxes. I'm really running out of room in the basement. Its back to being cluttered, but at least it isn't uninhabitable like it was when we started. And sorting out boxes and organizing the basement is something we can do after we're moved in. It just sucks that all that hard work we did is being used to store more clutter.

Tony started working on the attic. There was a bunch of broken stuff being stored up there from his grandparents. It was funny seeing random stuff falling out of holes in the ceiling, like there was some kind of attic goblin cleaning up there. He says that the insulation in the ceiling now is white fluff, like the stuff you fill stuffed animals with. Cleaning it up is going to be an adventure.

I also did a bunch of work on the hall. I found out today that taking down dry wall is more involved than just busting up the wall with something heavy (AKA fun). You have to pry off the doorways and molding to really get the stuff off. And that takes a bit of muscle. I had to haul a door off at one point.The majority of the hall dry wall is done today. I'm hoping tomorrow will be easier.
