Well crap, I think this is the first time I have heard from several folks that I need to slow down and not do so much, including the wife
Almost done at rental dump, just have to toss up some paint now and then mail them the keys, then I am done with it!
BUT before I can do that I have to go get some plumbing pipe to replace the hot water line to my clothes washer tomorrow/today this morning. I can't figure out why they replaced all the plumbing with PEX but did NOT replace the 10 feet or so of super old copper pipe that is green from slow leaks

Well I pushed it over the edge today trying to get the washer hose loose from the fitting

That's ok though, it just means I can buy some more tools

I never thought I would be so happy than I was today shopping at Menards for house stuff and a goody for me! Got a ton of odds and ends for the house but also picked up one of those really cool bend in more directions than a talented woman ladders!

I also got to use it today when I installed my new led flood light at the side of the garage. I have never been so happy workin on a house in my life
So far I have done this at the house over the past week........
cleaned out over flowing gutters of frozen leaf burgs
tore down dog kennel
scrapped old huge oil tank
tore down 2 gates not needed
tore down ivy from the side of the house and fence
picked up branches, sticks and fallen limbs all over yard
picked up beer cans hidden under leaves
installed led flood light, motion activated
fixed 2 doors in house
replaced shower head
fixed facet in bathroom
replaced 2 registers
replaced furnace filter
installed water line for refrigerator with new one since the copper one started to leak
replaced all burned out light bulbs, including the ones in my skull
put together a new tv stand the wife had to have just like the new tv
put together the new vacuum the wife had to have
gathered all scrap metal and made huge pile in garage, the boy is picking it up next Sat.
fixed a ceiling fan
started to install washer dryer when water line went south
started to arrange/rearrange garage and will rearrange the rearrange once I figure it all out
I am sure I am missing a few things but that's all I can remember at this point but all that and moving out of rental dump and getting things into this house. Some items on that list took less time than a beer gulp but hey it's something done.
Also got a letter from the slum lord wanting me to buy the old rental dump for $1 then assume the mortgage

NOTTTTTTTTT!
I have penned a letter back to them, short and sweet. It's goes just like this..........
PPPPPPPPFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTT!
Sincerely BUGGED OUT!
Well that's about it for now, headed to bed so I can get up in a couple hours to fix water line, install sump pump and then go paint rental dump! Gotta love vacation days!
