Well did some work (ok Anne) on the outside and inside. I finished painint the inside but haven’t taken pics yet as I want to wait till the walls have stuff on them and the lights are back up. So here is the work on the outside Anne did… What you don’t see is the 5 bags of cat litter infested dirt she dug out of there. Just disgusting. The second updated picture is washed out so I’ll try and get it in better light.
Well sticking with the used theme as much as possible this year I purchased a used electric mower (mulcher). This cost me $15. I know you look at pictures and think how can it be, that is impossible. There is no way he spend $15 hard earned dollars on that piece of s$#%!!! Well let me tell you, what an amazing job it does mowing if it doesn’t kill you or take your eyes out. The guy actually asked me when I contacted him on Kijiji if I had seen the pictures. The proceded to ask me if I was sure I still wanted it. I said I don’t have a shed yet so it’s going to stay outside and I’m not spending good money on a mower to leave it outside to rust. Well that was perfect cause it’s already rusted… hahahah. Anyhow it’s a great mower and it was cheep…. Oh and he suggested I wear either large sunglasses or safety glasses when I use it as the cover is off the top and objects have hit him in the face in the past… Oh and last suggestion was to plug it in at the mower first and then in the wall as the wires are exposed…
Well I think I need a new category on house reno and improvements. This was a dusy. I’m guessing the house was built in the 40′s and I think there was a layer of wallpaper or paint from each decade. There were between 4 and 5 layers and a few layers of paint in there. The base coat on the plaster was an oil base which was an absolute nightmare. Also there was a good crack “hole” in the plaster to patch near the window. Nothing Durbond 90 couldn’t fix! Anyhow this room took me a week roughly but man it has turned out nice and I’m typing this from the office “that room”. Anyhow here are some pics of the reno work. There were some pizza breaks, beer breaks outside with Anne (thanks for your help my dear)!
