Well, nothing else has gotten done on the house. I got a call to go to work and BIL couldn't make it. Sigh. One of these days I'll get to work on it. Maybe.
The family I work for are going away for a week or so, so then I have to get stuff done on the house ... or else.
The fence is going to be $1300. A lot...but it's important. Pretty much I wouldn't move out if there wasn't a fenced in yard.
Now onto the friggin' color palette. I am notorious for not deciding on colors. I thought that I would know exactly what I would want my house to look like when I moved out, but I was wrong.
Wrong wrong wrong wrong.
I made myself get a gallon of paint for the kitchen, certain that that was the color I wanted. I was wrong. But luckily it's a nice color and I'll probably paint the laundry room that color.
Meanwhile I found an issue of Martha Stewart from last August and the cover is one of my all-time favorites--it has the perfect color palette. The colors I already got for the front room will work fine with it. Otherwise I picked out the colors on the cover that speak to me. So now it's just figuring out which room gets painted what. argh!

Jacked up.
It's weird that I have a house while at the same time it's not weird at all. It was inevitable that I would get a house and move out, but that it happened so quickly is nice.
It's going to be August! When did this happen?!!
It was decided that the only thing to do in the crack whore room with the very wonky and uneven floor was to rip out the particle board, old cabinet door and God knows what else to get it down to the floor joists and start from scratch. When that layer was pulled up it was the biggest mess I have EVER seen. It doesn't even make any sense! There were hundreds, literally hundreds, of pieces of paneling, newspaper, A USED PAINT STICK, dirt!, and countless other random, ridiculous things. If their goal was to level the floor out, they failed miserably, because all it did despite the numerous layers of debris was slope in the same way except higher up.
There's still a lot left to do, but I think it'll get done before I know it. I hope.
I got the fence guys that Adam knows to come out and he guessed it would take about 140 feet of fencing and they could get it done by the weekend. SWEET!!! I will be really excited when that's done because I can bring the dogs with me and let them loose.
