Is This the Last Day?

Really hoping that today or tomorrow will be the last day for the cellar contractor work. If it’s not, that’s okay. I’m just ready for all of this to be done.

Wiped Out

We did so much stuff around the house this weekend. I need a weekend to recover from the weekend.

We’re pretty optimistic that the contractor will be done in the cellar today or tomorrow. After that we need to put all the furniture back where it belongs. I had to move everything away from the walls last night so that he can finish the baseboards. Once everything’s back where it’s going we’ll mount the new television on the wall and then… maybe watch a movie or something?

Then I need to move my office space downstairs too. There’s an exercise bike that needs to move too. Oh yeah, I forgot that we got a nice sound system for the new TV. That needs to go in before our first movie date.

Then what? We got a couple of foldable room divider things. One will go between the living room and the work space and the other will wall off the laundry room. The last thing, I think, is to figure out where the new music nook will go. It has to be close enough to the office so that I can use my computer for more wonderful home recording demo amazingness. I haven’t recorded a song in two months. That needs to change.

After all of that?

Oh, just surgery.

I Think I’m Done

1-800-JUNK is coming tomorrow. There’s a Mount Everest sized pile of shit on our front lawn that they will haul away. It’s all boxes from things we put into the cellar and stuff that was in the cellar but is no longer needed, or stuff that was in the kitchen or the dining room or the living room that is no longer needed.

So. Much. Stuff.

I’ve spent nearly the entire day taking crap outside. Between that, putting the laundry room together, and yesterday’s putting the downstairs living space together……..

I’m done. Finished. My back is killing me and my legs are killing me and I’m done. Kill the lights, strike the stage, I’m done.

Washer

Best Buy installed our washer/dryer in 2020. They came back yesterday to fix the dryer I broke. They wouldn’t hook up the washer though. They complained about the pipes.

So job #1 today was reconnecting everything. There are actually two washers. The main one and the little tiny quickly one it sits on. When I unhooked it I undid two outflow pipes and two inflow lines. The inflow lines each go through a splitter to the two machines but I left those in place.

When I started it today there were two splitters on the hot water line.

What?

Where the hell did that come from. I swear it wasn’t there when I took this apart. Did Beat Buy put it there yesterday for some unfathomable reason? They must have.

I took it off, put everything back where it needed to be, and ran a quick test load on the main machine.

It worked. Also, more importantly, nothing leaked.
