How i spent my 1st week of summer vacation....

[redwingkali]

Pics are documented on myspace "Auntiekackie" More or less documenting filth and some of the damage so far from the previous renters.

anyway....

I have certainly been in my element all week…. It’s been everything I am about. This moving business to Austin has become a totally house rehab. I was there last weekend to work on more painting prep minor

Even though it's a lot of work, it sounds like you're enjoying yourself. That's what a 'vacation' is about anyway! ;)

Have fun and I hope you don't hurt yourself too badly. Get that knuckle looked at!!!

what... no comment about the tree?

[judithsewstoo]

Um, it's a spunky, defiant little thing ain't it? ;)

Nothing speaks of determination like that little tree hanging on to its roots for dear life. :)

Gonna let it grow and turn the tree trunk into a bed like Ulysses?
;)

it would be cool to leave it, but it will only cause damage. I am wondering if io can get it out properly if i can transplant it outside. I will certainly try.

Re: Front Door

yah been looking on the internet all day for kitchen sinks and bath pedistals from salvage yards. I know we can find a new front door cheap, the issue is money in general, even if it is discounted. he has major roofing plumbing plumbing fixtures, floor coverings etc to do to make it habitable front door is the least of his worries right now.. We will get to it though.

The sleddog people have daylilies (a literal pick up load) if you want them, we will help plant, say when and where, will deliver. They have to be dug up first so will need a bit of warning. Sounds like other items on the list take priority so....let us know. Tell Cory will bring Krumkaka IF he wants.

Re: plants

You could bring them out anytime this coming weekend... Ive got the fill and window wells. Just have to transfer the dirt and stuff them in. Enough dirt is needed so i wont have to dig! Yippie! ANy word on the lawn mower? Even with the horses full its long.

Tree

[anonymous]

There's an Australian comic strip called Footrot Flats with a character called Cooch. He has a tree growing in the middle of the house, been there for years, uses it to hang laundry on and hang his hammock from. He also climbs it when the neighbor's hogs rampage through his house. Apparently for him it's a wonderful multi-use piece of decor. :-)

BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH! I loooooooove your interior decoration! everyone should have a tree in thier basement.

Where the heck is Austin/yer digs anyway? I have some hostas and can snag some day lilies. I also went a little nuts on bulb buying.

Hi, my name is Renee and I like bulbs. Bulbs on sale. For more dirt than I have.

As far as the drain clog, describe it. Is it a floor drain? Clogged with what, mystery crap? Is it cloged at the top is further in? If it's a floor drain with some drainage after you fill it a bit with water, that's the larger roots of the interior decoration. That takes the pros with a Big John and a cutter blade. there could be other damage if it is tree roots.

If it's a standard drain, try running a snake attachemnt for a regular drill.

When you find a sink you like and it's up here, tell me where and possibly I can go get it. Since I have a car that runs now....
