February 2023!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cannot believe the last post was about 3 years ago!
So......
In a new, almost post-pandemic world, I have embarked on a quite challenging project- an old house renovation!
Yay and yuck at the same time.
Yay part includes having a nice quiet place to live, practically in the woods. Yuck part, on the other hand involves tons of work, money, and time- all of which are in a short supply. But finally, I took a first step and started doing SOMETHING. Sad part is, it's going to go on and on forever, as there are material shortages. Like, the wait for the new windows in about 8 months!... Each time it rains, I am close to having a heart attack, walking around and looking for leaks.
The work goes inside and outside of the house. Sometimes it seems like too much and I'm not sure where to start really. But two days ago, right before the rain, I went outside and trimmed some bushes near the entrance. My rooms got more light but now you can see all dirt and green algae on the window frames and walls! I am supposed to get new windows in May, so I guess the green is not the biggest of my problems.
In this video, I walked around the house checking out the scope of the mess and trying to figure out what to do first. I guess I need to start with simple sweeping and getting rid of dead leaves, and then old pots and who-knows-what trash. Ahhhhhhhhhhh...........
Of course, today is raining, so there is no way I can do anything outside. Can't be helped. Maybe it's a sign I need to lean up some cement dust inside- not good to sit on it and get it in the lungs!
