The stove fit. It's purty. Unfortunately the oven is unusable as the knob isn't functioning properly. Either a safety feature didn't get de-safetied or a knob was faulty. A phone call has been made and it should be taken care of tout de suite. The light in the bathroom that should have been "no big deal" to replace has become a big deal. Sigh. I'm about to call in a near professional who could probably fix the problem in about 2 seconds and be happy to do the work for beer. And the caulk? A vile and disgusting job. Vile. Glove-worthy vile. I'm about half finished with the stripping part having squirted a ton o'caulk softener on there last night before bed.
I'm tired.
The good news? The downstairs closets are almost empty (though I suspect I shopvac-ed up a mummified mouse) and the junk just needs to be hauled to the outbuilding. The fan and the beams have all been vacuumed and wiped down. There is one little light that needs cleaning and then the floors and then we're moving up even with the bathroom in disarray as we'll have access to the downstairs until the end of the month. I want this done. I'm so sick of cleaning. I'm so sick of living in chaos. We really do have plenty of time but I just want it over. It sucks because we keep getting asked to do fun things like go watch the end of the U of M/State game on the old neighbor's new HD tv, but if we don't stay focused we just push ourselves back even further. And with DVD release parties the next 3 weeks and a trip to Chicago next weekend I really really really want to get this move done.
The new Menards--where I did indeed save big money--was a thing of beauty. May I never have to set foot inside Lowe's or Home Depot ever again!
