More sane, More moving

On Saturday I was up early, so early that I was at the grocery store a little after 7AM. I wanted to get stuff done around the house that needed to be done because I was going to help Christine get moved into the new place she is renting. I spent a good portion of the day helping her unload, pick up stuff she needed and get settled. It’s a much better location for her in multiple ways.

During the day the cabinet installers returned where they installed the handles on the cabinets and did any remaining finish work. In addition they cleaned out all of their tools that were filling my garage all week which I was glad about. I had not charged my Tesla since last Saturday as a result. The good thing is with where I live now I only consume about 5% of the battery each day.

On Sunday morning I dug into cleaning up the mess that my living space has been since the project started. I was able to now use the cabinets. In addition I bought some 1/4 inch MDF to lay across the tops of the cabinets to serve as temporary countertops which works out well. Yes I am still washing dishes in the guest bathroom sink which is annoying but at least the house feels less chaotic overall. I am very pleased with how the new cabinets look. I expect to be even more pleased when the quartz countertops get laid on top.

Today I am getting gutters installed around the entire perimeter of the roof, knocking another home improvement item off my list. For only being in the place 5 weeks I am very pleased with the pace of improvements thus far.
