We worked on the house so much more last night. (e:leetee) and (e:theecarey) helped us out a bunch with dusting. My mother cleaned the refrigerator. It looks like it is new. I actually took out a toilet, repaired it and put it back. It turns out it wa sthe toilet that was leaking onto the floor and causing the daage in the bathroom. I never thought I would do able to do it, but luckily my phone and the internet gave me some on the spot tips that made it all work.

Yesterday was the night of the strange bugs. (e:theecarey) and I found a preying mantis at home depot and brought it home. They are the coolest bugs. I think she got a pic of it on her phone. Then when we got home there was this crazy huge spider. A type of which I had never seen before.



We met our new neighbors and hung out with them for the evening. Their house is fancetastic and they see like pretty cool people. On the other side of them are some gay republicans. Weird.

I was working on an adjustable web meaurement tool for a little bit today. I have decided to move onto flash now that javascript is boring me again. First drag the ends of the red line to what you consider one unit, of whatever you measurement standard is, then hit tare. Fro then on whereever you drag the red line to it give you that distance in the nuber of units you tared to. One unit is represented by the yellow line.

It has already been a long journey working on the house We have accomplished so much this week. Unfortunately, finish my thesis was not one of the things, which leaves me with this weekend. Also the weekend I have to move during.

Here I am cleaning the chamber under the stairs. The furnace cleaners wanted to charge me $400 to clean that chamber but luckily I fit in the vent so I went down there myself and lceaned it.



I tore up the bathroom floor which was tacky lineloeum that was molding underneath. It was super moldy and disgusting. Thank god I tore it up before it got worse.









It was huge process. I had only a crobar, a scredriver and an axe. A full size axe. I must have lookied really scary with a full size qaxe and my gas mask.









Under it was the original wood floor that the rest of the central hall ( notice I said central hall instead of foyer, (e:matthew) ) has.





I love this doorknob but had a hard itme getting a good picture because my hands were shaking from axing and ripping up the bathroom floor.







Here is on of the fireplaces

If anyone wants to see it stop by tonight.

Two floors worth of stuff is on the street. There wee garbage pickers on it like ants on sugar. You can't even imagine.

There were more computer parts than at computers for children.



tHAT'S TONY'S HAND. People were all over that even if they were from 1989. There is still one whole room of computer crap and lots of other junk around but at last it seems like we can finally start cleaning more and moving in.

unfortunately, I already know when I will be back again.

On the home front, all the previous owners trash and unwanted stuff is out on the front lawn. If you are into garbage picking you might want to swing by. Although, knowing the garabage pickers in our hood, it will be gone very soon.
