This Cold House

I turned comments off due to spam but they are now back on.  The link is under the title of each post. 

I don’t have any pictures for you!  I haven’t been doing too much to the house lately.  This weekend I will finish painting the old hallway closet door.  The damn thing used to be dark dark brown and I’m making it white.  It’s taking many coats of paint.

I patched several craters in the driveway a few weeks ago.  It looks like hell, but it will at least keep them from getting worse.  I used a Vinyl-Concrete patch product from Quikrete.  It seems to be working well so far and I expect to get about a year or two out of the work.  Cross your fingers!

Since the weather has warmed a bit, I’m having new experiences with lawn care.  I came from an apartment, so it’s been about 10 years since I’ve actually mowed.  The worst part is bagging the grass.  Overall, I find mowing somewhat relaxing.  There is something about seeing the pieces of grass getting lopped in half that fills me with joy!

Last week I evicted a bird that had been trying to nest in the corner of the roof.  The little bugger knocked out a piece of the siding and was putting stacks of debris in the hole.  I glued the piece back in and I don’t think I’ll be seeing him any time soon.

I haven’t posted anything because I’ve put just about everything on hold.  Due to the recent exorbitant extortion payments I had to make to the Private Federal Reserve Bank System via the quazi government bully collection arm, the IRS, I have to wait for funds to rebuild to continue on the house.  It won’t be too long though so stay tuned.  In the meantime, I may write to explain my above statement about taxes so check for that.

It’s been over a month since my last post.  I haven’t posted the final pictures on the upstairs bedrooms yet, though they’ve been done for several weeks.  I have been taking a break I guess.  I plan on getting them done today.  Posting 50 times all at once kinda defeats the whole blog thing.  Ohwell.

My alarm woke me up this morning at the ungodly hour of 5:13 and I tapped the snooze to get a few more minutes of rest.  I felt a slight zap but didn’t think anything of it.  At 6:45, I awoke on my own and looked at the clock to see why the snoozed alarm didn’t re-ring.  It still said 5:13 and has been there ever since.  I apparently killed it with static.  Go figure.  All part of living in a cold house….
