Foiled Again!

Well, seems that postponment is the name of the game lately. The dumpser is ready to go, but, unfortunately, I wasn't.

Last weekend I was supposed to gut the bathroom, remove the basement ceiling, and tear up the carpets. Unfortunately, my body had other ideas. I had my gallbladder out on Saturday, so I was good for nothing for most of the week.

With some help from Andrea and her family, we're finally going to get to it this weekend. Planned is resupporting the house (the foundation in the back left corner is settling) and putting footings in for a new front porch. If that doesn't eat up the whole weekend, we may do some demo. Otherwise, that will be next week's project, since the dumpster is set to leave next Friday.

The time wasn't completely wasted though. I have 9 windows on order, and a siding contractor ready to go after we're done shifting the house. Also, I found someone interested in the scrap metal, so the pool is mostly gone. He was supposed to pick up the rest by this weekend. When I'm at home, I'll load the photo of the partially removed pool.
