Deliveries

We’ve had three people working in our cellar today. We are currently down to two… I think. It’s tough to tell sometimes. Progress is being made every day and I am getting really excited about the finished product.

Speaking of the finish product, we have plans for a living room space, an office space, and maybe something else. It’s not set in stone yet, but the living room space plans are pretty involved. We didn’t expect to have any pieces of it delivered until at least a week from now, but today something came early. Something that will set the mood for the entire space.

A huge, big ass bean bag chair.

Oh yeah. We’re going there, kids.

Ooh! We should order lava lamps too!

I started Iron Man 3 last night before bed but didn’t get far. I finished it this morning while farting around on my computer. I went straight into Thor 2 and watched that while doing some errands around the house. I finished it around lunch time and then spent the next nine hours or so just hanging around with my lady, which was pretty wonderful. I was a little worried that those two less than spectacular movies would take me out of this whole Marvel mood, but I just needed a little break.

Tonight when bed time came around I picked off the next movie in line, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and ushered in the golden age of Marvel flicks. Winter Soldier might be my favorite of them all, not counting Infinity War and Endgame which just raised the bar so freakin’ high nothing is ever going to reach them. From here on though there are no bad movies. Age of Ultron might be the only one that doesn’t really cut it, but even that is awesome. We don’t get a less than awesome movie until Eternals, and even that is still pretty good.

The chronological order I’m working off of has the two Guardians movies next. Both excellent. Both really different. Are we sure they go back to back in the time line? Who knows. I’m just doing what that one website told me to do. I’m not putting that much thought into any of this.

No Zombies for Me Tonight

Tonight is the mid-season finale of The Walking Dead and I didn’t get to it in time. Jen and I were binging the shit out of How I Met Your Mother and the last episode we watched ended at 9:05.

I’ll watch the zombies in the morning. I guess for tonight I’ll pick off another Marvel movie. I haven’t updated my list today but if I finish the one I’m watching as I type this I’ll have checked off three today.

Pretty sure that is equal parts awesome and pathetic. You be the judge.

Longing

When the cellar flood happened two years ago we banned Patches from the cellar. Now that the cellar is being restored to new glory, Patches has been longing to return. Seriously. She’s been scratching at the cellar door and everything.

Just a couple more weeks, kitty. We are almost there.

Tentative Cellar Schedule

Jen talked to the contractor today. He gave us a tentative schedule for the next couple of phases of the cellar reclamation project.

Monday will be one final day of drywall finish work. Tuesday will be a day off to let whatever happens on Monday finish drying and what have you. Painting will start on Wednesday and end on Friday. Once the painting is done the flooring will start immediate. Probably also on Friday.

No estimate on how long the flooring will take, or how long the finishing work that comes after it will take.

The hardest part for those of us who aren’t doing actual work is to just remain patient. It’s really difficult. Jen and I both want this done. We’re both tired of stressing out over everything. We’re both more than ready to start putting everything back together again.

Still… painting and flooring this week. Kick ass.
