Getting It Done

My goal for this week is to get the small bedroom cleared of boxes, tear down the walls in the hall and possibly start the walls in the small bedroom. So tonight I started project 'worker ant' as I affectionately thought about it and project 'clean the dirty ass floors in the basement'. Project 'worker ant' involves me taking large boxes down the tiny staircase that goes into the basement to be stacked neatly. And project 'clean the dirty ass basement floors' is pretty self explanatory. I started to run out of room in the corner that I cleared out for the boxes. Pretty soon I'm going to have to start project 're-organize the basement'.

We went over the layout of the house and decided quickly which walls were going to need electric sockets and where we want to put in and take out lights. However I wasn't in a thinking mood so we didn't get very far with that.

Tony worked more on taking down the walls in the main bedroom. There is a wall in there we think used to be part of the outside of the house. It has horizontal wood siding mounted in the cavity. That wall has taken more effort than the rest.

I don't think that Tony's mom is going to pay for the cabinets. When I told her the price the guy gave us she wanted to know if there was a way to make it any cheaper. Ah, well. I went into this expecting us to have to pay for the whole thing anyway. New cabinets aren't needed to make the place liveable. I don't know if we'll get back there before this weekend so hopefully I can figure out an estimate in the meanwhile.
