You know that warm weather I spoke of? It's gone. It lightly snowed today. It was 22 degrees today and is currently 11.
Did we go to the house? Noooo. We walked around Target and thought about the finishing touches in our house. Not the current house. We thought about the apartment we had. It was a home. It was very nice. Not having a place makes you realize that.
Ugh. Can't wait.

Warm weather!
It has been above freezing! Actually 45 today. Yesterday was in the 50s! Thursday should be in the low 60s. We have been productive. We had a good waste removal last last week. We missed this Valentine's day.
The bedrooms divisive wall has been removed and it is one large room. 23' long. We are also half way done tearing down the wall to the front door and that closet. Here is a photo. Highlighted area = drywall, plaster&lath down.
The wall has been deleted for the closet/entryway but the yellow highlight remaining signifies that 4 ft of the upper wall is still attached. We shall tackle that tomorrow.
lso, here is a photo of all the heavy electronics stuff we removed.

Ice Cold
1 degree outside. 31 degrees below the freezing point. We hadn't been working on the house for some time and we finally said we gotta do it.
Dad had already started a fire so that was pleasant. We finished pulling out the lathe and ripped out the dividing wall between the bedrooms. The wall studs are still up but you can see right through, feels like one room. Progress you can see. Feels good.
N. removed the sheet metal cabinets from the truck and he and dad put trash bins of debris into the truck. We even got the closet door removed and bagged up the sand. It's so great! The fire was roaring. I was on fire duty. I like it. Fire is mesmerizing.
The second bedroom is unfortunately full of some heavy duty printers - dot matrix xerox machines and some other unidentifiable large electronics. But not much else. The living room remains full of wood. It's nice the wall is open now because it provides much easier access to that bedroom.
Next, we shall knock out the entry way wall and take out the lathe on the stair wall.
