Week ++ updates
I have had to go to work all week like an ASSHOLE so I mostly only come after work and cook us dinner and work on painting trim. He works 2 24 hr shifts a week so he’s been slamming out paint.
Upstairs is done entirely, we just need to put up the fan and new wall sconces (fixtures, he insists). ONE plant, my bird of paradise, decided it’s furious and started to fucking DIE when EVERYONE ELSE IS FINE and it better fucking come back 🔫
Brandon and his brother sanded the stairs and he started painting them today. We ate on the floor for two days on my tiny tray table. He finished the living room. Yesterday I dragged his old not so comfy foldaway couch out of storage and propped the tray table up on a bin to eat. Upgrades.
Day 6 recap: paint, paint, paint, go to Home Depot again, go bills, then eat pad Thai and watch the awful, awful Richard elfman/oingo boingo movie until Brandon’s snoring on my shoulder at 9:22 pm
Day 4 recap
Paint, go bills, ice Brandon’s brother, paint, paint, paint, pizza and shots.
Day one recap
Spent $300 at Home Depot on new locks, gloves, cleaning supplies, a new faucet, some tools
Brandon, the firefighter, checks all smoke alarms and buys a kitchen extinguisher
I just start ripping shit down. Immediately ripped these awful carpet patches off the stairs to find 6 adhesive strips per stair that are not really coming off with goo gone and a degreaser :’) this should be a felony and punishable via execution
I broke the doorknob off?¿? Hard to find a replacement for this 100+ year old door. Front door out of commission atm
I replaced the kitchen faucet. I removed the old one, opened the sealed (?) box, and found someone’s old dirty nasty faucet in there. Trip two to Home Depot of the day.
They bedazzled the chandelier. Glued on plastic gems. That’s it. All I have to say.
we are closing on the house today 🥺
