Lately

Lately it seems as though I am either tired or complaining. In fact, I’m tired of complaining; but that won’t stop me today!

A neighbor has not yet permanently moved to his farm here. I have been caring for it and that will continue for a few more months. In the interim we have had some people do a trade (work for rent).

Recently we rented out the cottage on the property and have been fixing up the house with upgrades. The bathroom has had a new cement board underlay and tile put down. The toilet was swapped out and a new vanity and medicine cabinet added.

The old kitchen range was finicky and I didn’t trust it, so it was swapped out with a new propane range. Also the kitchen faucet was replaced.

In both the bathroom and kitchen, the supply line cutoffs were replaced with new 1/4 turn ones.

The living room and dining room has new blackout curtains to block the sun and noise.

For some reason, there was a fan and light over the dining room table and it didn’t work well. I don’t know why someone thought that was a good idea because I envisioned dust falling down on peoples meals. I removed the ornery fan and put a new fan and light in the living room. Replacing the dining room with a simple fixture.

All the lights inside are either CFLs or better still, LED’s. The fluorescent bulbs in the fixture on the carport are now LEDs also.

That should fix up the house for now with other improvements possible later.
