Monday morning project update: We have internet again! A 15 minute fix for the coaxial cable that was cut during the joists replacement was done today. I also closed all the windows that I could in the house to start keeping some warmth in. There’s a light rain today, but […]
Sunday afternoon project update: Well, today wasn’t that good of a day. The maple hardwood flooring that we were going to get had already been sold. It was enough to cover both floors for $100.00, but we were too slow to catch it. Also, the pellet stove we were going […]
Project day recap: Went to Liberty today and checked all the measurements. We mathed the bejeesus out of it, and then kept going. Drove to Home Depot and picked up most of all the things. That took hours to do since we had to find the wood, choose the least […]

Project day six: It’s like I’m documenting something big here. Went to the Post Office in Highland to pick up the boxes that they refuse to deliver to my house now that it is on a “Private Road”, since my neighbor put his last name on the driveway. Got all […]
First day recap: We mapped out the first floor electric to all of the breakers we could. The living room, main hallway, and dining room are all on one breaker. When the electricians come back, we’re going to see about separating those. The outlets in the Parlor are live. The […]
