Post by pandoraPost by CheckmateMy Usenet duties done for the morning, I shall continue with my remodel
project.
How is it going?
Hard work for an old guy like me, but I chip away at it a little each
day. As usual, the scope of the project keeps growing.
That IS how projects like that go. :-) Now I have to
Post by Checkmateadd a bunch of replumbing to the list, a new bathroom door, new
electrical outlets, install a new tub and vanity, plus reframe a shitty
room addition done by the previous owner who totally screwed up
everything he touched.
Sometimes, it seems like it will never end. My middle son is remodeling
his kitchen and adding a pantry. He's also ripped out all the carpets
in the main level of the house and is installing (himself) laminated
flooring. Then they're painting the upstairs bathroom, hallway and
livingroom. It's a big job for sure. Also, I'm replacing all the
windows. I had a
Post by Checkmatenew 5' sliding glass door delivered, then discovered it's actually a 6'
that was mislabeled by the factory. I'm waiting for them to straighten
that mess out for me.
I'm also replacing all my windows. Big job but at least I don't have to
do it myself. (I wouldn't know how to do that anyway.) They have to
come back next week to finish as their distributor sent two windows
that were the wrong size. Sheesh! Annoying as hell. This is going to
take me all Summer, but by doing
Post by Checkmatethe windows myself, I'll save a lot of money on the new siding. I
really shouldn't be doing as much of this myself as I am, but it'll
save me a lot of money.
I suggest you take it easy; well as easy as you can. I'm still working
on my yard but at least I got my vegetable garden in. It's looking
pretty good. I laid lava rock in my rose garden last week and am still
pulling weeds elsewhere. It never ends but at least it's looking
pretty good.
The old siding was ripped from round logs, so they have a flat surface
and a round surface, sort of a log cabin look. I absolutely hated that
stuff. I have most of it off the house now, except for the areas that
will require scaffolding. I've filled eleven large trash cans in the
last two weeks, and probably have at least seven more to go. It comes
off easy with a big pry bar, but then I have to bend all the nails over
so it fits more compactly in the cans, and I have to chop it all up to
3- 4 foot lengths. I've gotten quite a collection of cuts and
splinters from them so far.
That sounds like a lot of work and definitely not fun. I just keep
myself busy with weed pulling and creating lots of piles. I had too
many to put in my trash so I had my grass cutting guys take them to the
dump for me. They were amazed (and so was I) that they had 1000 pounds
of weeds to deliver. Thankfully, the city has contracted (recently)
with the local trash collector to provide yard waste bins. Yay! Now
I'll have somewhere to put all my weeds instead of building berms all
around my place.
not only do i look after the outside and , have some great looking
gardens , i also manage all the maintenance of the home
i had to adjust my porch gables for daylight savings.

"Thanks to muzzies and their apologist-enablers like puppy whistle, this
seems to be the new norm in the world. It's spreading like a cancer,
and it's time we admit we're at war with pure evil. We need to put an
end to this muzzie plague, or life on Earth is going to become pure hell
everywhere. We need to get these people out of every civilized
country, and there's only one way to do it. IOW, we have to become
like them, with an emphasis on expediency over cruelty." - Checkmate (of alt.checkmate)
"Pussy Willow has just proven that Trump's crackdown on previously
unenforced immigration policies is working. We'll deal with the domestic
terrorists as needed, but we don't need to be letting the muzzie
terrorists get a foothold in our country too. One need only look at what
they're doing in Europe right now to know we're doing the right thing by
keeping them out, which is our right and our duty. - Checkmate (#1 pussy willow fan)

"If I have a complaint about the (Southern Poverty) Law Center's description (of the alt-right movement), it is the phrase "heavy use of social media," which implies the alt-right is a real-world movement which uses a lot of social media. This is backwards: it is an online movement which occasionally appears in the real world. Where it gets punched." - Jason Rhode
