ok, so we are having a contractor do the floors...... it will jsut be easier.... my wife thinks i would do a great job on it, but we don't want it to take a long time, and it's a lot of work for 1 person to do alone......
as it is, the contractor we are using, is still going to take 5 days --- all of them we talked to would take that long (we got several estimates)... he is the cheapest, but my wife also got a good feeling about him... so that is good as well... scheduled in a couple weeks
been doing a bunch of painting.... i didn't do too much, my father in law did most of it, but he is an artist, so he knows paints... it wa the first tiem i have ever painted a house though, i did a great job, so i'm happy (wife was happy too)... i did all of the cutting in and masking the roof and doors and windows though. i also did repair work, patching, sanding, texturing, filling cracks, etc...... so we have been quite busy.....
i did a little weed trimmign with the lawn mower or realtor gave us..... it's a 1/4 acre lot so still tons mroe to do, but i made some of the dirt right off the rear patio, usuable
i installed wire shelving units in the closets, 2 tiers per closet, so there is some storage space on top, and enough room to hang a shirt, then another shelf below with enough room to hang mroe stuff, then room underneath on the floor for shoes and whatever
then there is the tv i mounted above the fireplace..... so it's going slow.... but at least it's moving
