Ellroon, in Florida, even without pets, you will get fleas in the house. If there’s any dampness, you will get mold and mildew. There was nothing worth buying in that 3 tons of mattresses and couches.

Before the painting, you have to fix the holes in the walls.

I’ve added on to my house several times (try 3 months without a kitchen) but I’ve not been involved with a rehab. 6080 pounds of junk? Couldn’t you have just thrown it out in the front yard and had a garage sale?

May a few coats of paint be all you need now….

Thanks, Alice. I’ve seen meteor showers at 40,000 feet while flying over the Arctic, and they were even more impressive than the Northern Lights, but I was hoping for a picture this time.

Most of the rest will be “cosmetic” as the basic structure is intact, but it was built to the older code and I don’t like having to deal with 24-inch centers, instead of 16″. At least the heavy lifting is out of the way.

I saw the Leonid meteor shower a few years back and it was the most awesome site I’d ever seen. The heavens put on a wonderful show that night, and I hope you get a chance to view it.

I’ve done house rehabs before and they always seem to explode exponentially. Good luck with that. May your slivers be few and the foundation be up to code (not quite the Irish blessing but the best I could come up with).

I had help, but you still end up doing more than you should and you pay for it. Curad is making a fortune off of me.

Sounds like a trip to nice hot sauna and a massage for achy muscles is in order! Too much weekend- warrior work for me (and I’ve noticed I’m getting too old to move without hiring *professional movers* to do the job.)
