Very busy weekend.....

It's been a few days since I've posted anything but we started the big move into our house Friday and we are 90% moved now (we don't have to be out of the apartment until the 25th but we are finally sleeping in the new place). I have Wednesday & Thursday off so hopefully we can finish the rest of the moving then, only leaving the cleanup of the old apartment left for next week. The last time we moved we got screwed out of a good bit of our security deposit, but being much wiser to some of the tricks of the trade I plan on being a prick about every little thing this time with the idea that once the management figures out I won't let anything slip , they will be less inclined to try to chisel us out of money. There is still a good bit of trim to paint and small fix-its to do. Today's tasks were fixing a leaking toilet tank flap and installing the smoke/CO alarms.

Things still to do in the house

• Paint the trim, doors & cabinet doors in the kitchen
• Paint a 2nd coat on 3 walls in the library
• Paint the master bedroom
• Paint the sewing room
• Remove the old tile from the main bathroom shower & walls in time for the contractor to fix the water damage in the floor.
• Dig up all of the old bricks & cinder blocks the previous owner used as landscaping trim in the backyard (did they actually think it looked good??)
• Trim and tear out many old and overgrown shrubs/weeds/plants/trees in the yard.
• Cut the grass
• Replace the rear brakes on the truck (not really a house issue but needs to get done VERY soon).
