Weekend in Review...

This will be brief, so shall bullet point things for easy reading:

  • We pulled the kitchen out. Or, should I say, Glen pulled it on and I smashed the shit out of everything - it was faster!
  • We found a geriatric tap underneath the kitchen bench island section - just sitting there, minding its own business except for one very crucial details - it was still connected to our main water service! Yay for us! Off to Bunnings to tie it off and 'dig a hole' through the lovely pine boards to push it underneath the house.
  • Ripped out the pantry. Lots of nails and icky bits. Glen got up in the roof to have another look at where things landed etc. Joys.
  • Now we have a very large hole in our roof covered over with a very large flattened carboard packing box! Ingenius.
  • The loungeroom, hallways and our bedroom are now devoid of carpet. It's very minimalist indeed!
  • The garage, very full of furniture, carpet and building materials!
  • The dog very tired after two days in a row of 'friends' over, as our friend came over to nail three rooms full of floorboard nails into the floor! Hrm!
  • Two very stressed out cats - Zeus is more stressed. Hopefully he's week-retreat will help. I dunno.
Left to do:
  • One said computer room! Argh!
  • Removal of furniture from the house
  • Lifting the lovely brown linoleum from the kitchen and then remove the nails
  • Pulling the carpet up and removing staples and hammering more nails!
  • Sweeping and vaccuuming the entire house! Argh!
  • Sleep
  • Eat
  • Relax
  • Relax
  • Don't panic
  • Don't stress
  • And oh yeh, take the dog and two cats to thei animal retreat for the week. Grr. Am hoping Zeus doesn't have another attack. Poor little man. The change is too much for him, so I'm panicking about him being in a foreign environment with different smells and potentially other cats.
Anyway, time to hit the road so I can get to work. Haven't been to work in almost a week - it was such a bloody struggle to get out of bed this morning.
