The Garage Saga Continues

Spent the weekend working on the awful garage. Mom and Dad helped. We carted TWO truck load of trash to the dump. I'm starting to think it will take until next year to see the end of this! The garage is clean enough now that I can work in it when the weather is bad. We might actually have enough space to have the garage sale IN THE GARAGE! Can you imagine?

Lots of pretty things unearthed this weekend, but nothing really remarkable. We only found about $200.00 in cash and change, which is quite a far cry from the $2100 in savings bonds we found last week. R. was very happy to see those, and even happier to see the photocopies she had made of the bonds. Now that she has the numbers she can call the Treasury Department and trace the others.

It's starting to get gloomy and wet and cold. We're supposed to have showers all week. I'm tempted to turn on the heat, but come on, it's still October!! Surely I can tough it out until November starts.

My 3D home is looking good. I love playing with it, it's so much easier than the real house! I've finally decided what to do with the larger living area at the back of the house. I am going to make it a dedicated study after all. I found a huge desk I'm in love with. Best of all I found a wall color. It was an accident, but I've fallen in love with charcoal gray. I'm going to cut the gray a little with a band of softer grey near the floor, and maybe at the top as well.

Really must sand. I have a sander, and I have time. What is holding me back, other than sheer lack of desire? I have to get the bedroom finished quickly, though, so I can heat it and my work room while leaving the rest of the house cold. I also need to install that cat door so I don't have constant drafts in the house. Maybe I should reconsider and put it in the back of the house after all.
