A Year and Five Months
Seventeen months?
Holy cow!
That's a long time to go without posting anything to a blog.
But too much has happened to attempt to recall all of them.
This morning started off at about 65 degrees and has gone up to about 71degrees and now the cold front is passing through and it it dropping like a rock. Supposed to be about 42 or 43 overnight.
Winds are kicking up pretty good. They are saying the wind might hit 60 mph or higher.
We have been looking into getting new fireplaces for the old homestead. A crack developed in the big one i the bedroom, along a line about eighteen inches long. The chimney sweep says the unit is unusable as is. So we want to replace it.
At the same time, we plan to put a fireplace in the living room.
We have it out for bids right now. Gonna be spensive.
We have removed everything from the junk room and have removed the carpet and tack strips. This is the first step in combining that room into the kitchen area. The carpet will be laid on the back porch. We're also looking into getting windows/doors to glass in the back porch--one of the benefit of the newer fireplaces is that the two will heat the entire house including a glassed in back porch, so we can add that 400-500 square feet to the usable living space, bringing us up to about 3100.
It will take two 48" windows for each side, and two 36" for the front plus a 6' French door for the front. Once that is done, then we can put the two French doors from the combined kitchen/spare room combination out onto the porch. And getting the electrician out to move the meterbox out to the end of the house and alter some of the interior wiring for the kitchen. Then comes the plumber to move the sink and do some minor work underneath the house.
Of course you know that will all not happen in just one year. Or even a year and five months.
Uh oh!! Lightning and thunder getting pretty bad.
Later, Tater!!!!!!!!!!
