Still working on the house, blah, blah, sound like a record.
Appliances came and are mostly installed. Fridge is huge and sticks out 11" past the front of the cabinets. This makes the island a bit close, so we opted to turn it from diagonal to a square position. Luckily I had not fastened it down yet. I hate dealing with the directions and lame templates which say drill here. Then you find out its wrong. Bathroom wall is fixed and I will hang the med cabinet again today. Stove, gas line needs to be shorter, easy fix. Microwave, needs an extension on the duct to connect, again easy fix. Of course the fridge sticks out in the hall a couple of inches to which I had decided to build a door frame to hide it. Counter tops come on Saturday. That will look nice. Other than that, still putting up trim through out the house.
Saturday, the community building called and said they had a water leak. Of course I was able to fix it, but I felt like a man. Yes, some women are capable but it still gave me that GD feeling.
Still picking the last tomatoes from the garden, and the beets are huge and tasty. Dug a few potatoes and had them. Also ate the last cantaloupe. Supposed to get cold later this week. Guess I will be covering the remaining beets.
How much labor money are you saving by doing this work yourself? It could be substantial.
Copy your long texts before posting, even if not ready to post, because things can go wrong like power, Web site down, connectivity down, you get logged off, etc. and copying texts saves frustration.
Are there coal mines near you?
