i'm really tired, and don't really feel like writing, and i'm kind of bummed out by stuff the contractor told me i need to get done, which probably won't be covered by home owner's insurance (install a water barrier under the house, replace the entire external wall and load-bearing beams of the sun porch to begin), and that the bathrooms don't have to be torn out and replaced b/c of mold... and he specifically said, focus on the structural issues first and get those dealt with, and then worry about the aesthetics. and i know he's RIGHT but.... i don't have money right now! i don't have the financial ability to deal with the structural issues right this minute. yet, i have paint. not that i can paint, b/c it's raining, but still. plus, as i said, i'm really tired, and my back is KILLING me, so here's some before and after pictures. the piles of crap is all dolls and doll related items that hopefully the doll auction house will take away. i've done all of this myself. no one's come to help yet.
anyway, before, then after.
okay so in the back bedroom i just tossed shit out onto the porch roof, then hurled it into the dumpster. shockingly, i only got about 2/3 of the stuff into the dumpster on the 1st shot.
creepy-ass doll furniture to go with all the creepy-ass dolls.
and also the hallway by the creepy door to the attic, one before, and a few afters.
that hideous striped floral wallpaper is only 10 years old! and already it's peeling like that! quality install job. except not at all. and seriously, who uses WALLPAPER anymore?!
it's hard to tell, but the door panel has been painted, then wallpapered, then painted, then wallpapered. WHY do people do that?
i also got rid of the computer desk in the living room.
actually MOST of the stuff in this photo is gone now!
i'm super tired. and i'm so in love with my woodstove, even though the guy said i should have a bigger one, and that's a couple thousand bucks... i'll make do with this one for now. it's nice and hot and i like sitting by it so i'm not sitting here SHIVERING otherwise. if you were curious, it's about 43, and rainy.
