between 12 and 5 today i was at the house stripping paint. it's kind of exhausting, but i can just tune out the world and work on my little area of the window frame.
progress is definitely being made. both my father and i have stripped away all the paint that would come in contact with the new windows that will be installed probably sometime this week (reason for this is once the windows are installed, since they'll vinyl, we can't heatgun near them). windows, electrician, plumber, general contracting (to patch up any new holes created by the electrician and plumber), floors, then painting. my originally forecast was to be moved in by the end of july, but the month is almost over and there's still some work. so probably august then, but i don't know when exactly. the house is like my office now, except i go to
work everyday. this project i'm working on, home renovation, i can't wait until it's over so i can start working on the moving in project and the home decorating project.
i was on the phone with my friend gary for something like two hours tonight. my cellphone got so hot from overuse i had to repeatedly switch hands. gary, whom i've known since high school, gary, who got married no more than two years ago, gary, who is now divorcing his wife. his story is complicated, but i think it's for the best. past two years, everytime i got a call from him, it was one bad news after another. hopefully i will be hearing some good news in the near future.
