Damn near a year this time depressingly. So we did get moved back into the house last year... the weekend before Thanksgiving. Unfortunately that move ended up even more of an ordeal than expected ... http://rapunzellstower.com/blog/?p=16 After a week of not much happening (t was raining all week and there was a bit of a problem with scheduling). We mostly have floors. Of course they've covered in dust so it's difficult to see in spots, and it was getting dark so i had to use the ... http://rapunzellstower.com/blog/?p=15 We painted my room, Melissa's room, the kid's room and the bedroom all this weekend. We first coated all of them on Saturday and then Melissa and I came back and put the second coat on everything Sunday. Saturday, Bucky started by taping off everyone's ceilings and trim and as ... http://rapunzellstower.com/blog/?p=14 It's insane and bizarre and really bright but it's awesome and it works. Bucky did get both the dining room and living room painted today.

It's ... http://rapunzellstower.com/blog/?p=11 With the totalling of my car, we're down a vehicle and although the at fault driver's insurance paid for a rental for me it was due back on Friday. Not that Allstate could be decent enough to give us any notice of that. The guys at Enterprise were nice enough ... http://rapunzellstower.com/blog/?p=10 I'm really not happy with the train right now. Monday I got back to my car after work to a warning that I was parked illegally, which I was. Hurst-Bell station doesn't have enough parking. It never has. Every day there are 10-15 cars parked in not-parking-spaces because there's no ... http://rapunzellstower.com/blog/?p=9 They ripped the rest of the roof and ceiling out of the kitchen, dining and living rooms on Tuesday. That made all three rooms really surreal. They also managed to rip out all the tile and laminate that are being replaced, which revealed not one but two kinds of really ... http://rapunzellstower.com/blog/?p=8 This post is password protected.
