Small bit of renovation

I got my schedule mixed up in my head; I thought I worked the next four days, but I have today and tomorrow off and then work four days.

I have a snotty headcold. No fever, no headache other than some sinus pressure, and no shortness of breath. I have a woman on my unit who's just getting over this. Still, it is worisom, especially to the people around me. Hopefully I'll be mostly over it by Friday.

Mike and I have cleared out most of our bedroom. We'll patch the walls, pull up the carpet, give everything a good scrub and put it all back. Right now, our bed is in the middle of the living room.

So, that is my day; drinking coffee, moving stacks of things from one room to the other, and blowing my nose. And washing my hands.

Edit: We have so much to do and some things are going to have to wait -- I just want to note here that I'm thinking of Bengamin Moore's Brittany Blue for the bedroom.

Thud

The bedroom is mostly emptied and the carpet and padding is pulled up. Next is to wash the walls, baseboards, and trim, and patch the two big holes where the plaster has fallen off the lath. The flooring that is cheapest and easiest to clean is sheet vynal, so I think we'll do that with a couple of throw rugs for comfort.

The plan is to start moving stuff back in tomorrow.

-- basement is clean and organized. This was the biggest job.
-- new playroom is patched and ready to paint
-- master bedroom is being patched and scrubbed tonight
-- boys' room is completely gutted and awaiting the electricians

-- still need new ceiling tiles in the kitchen
-- still need to finish patching the living room ceiling
-- still need to paint the living room, playroom, and dining room

But the biggest "still need" is to sheetrock, tape, mud, sand, prime and paint the boys room. Vynal flooring and rugs there, too.
