Settle in February went well. The murphy bed got fully attached to the wall, the legs and headboard were painted, and it got its mattress. We hung shelves for Jaimee's media center, and moved my bookshelf into my office. More pictures and random hooks got hung, we dropped stuff off at the thrift store, and basically just found homes for piles of things. Most importantly, we hung the door that will separate the guestcave from my office. The pictures and saga on that (why must we pick the world's heaviest door?) will follow in a later post.
But we were talking about March. Sometimes it actually feels like spring around here, and between that (gotta do prep work!) and the messes of the past couple months, this month has become Maintenance March. In addition to continuing the work on the murphy bed and the door, so far I've:
- spent a couple hours repairing the backyard fence
- ordered the seeds (after research and consultation!) for the lawn replacement
- patched and painted the multitude of holes created in the walls during the frequent hunt for studs in the past couple projects. In the process, I discovered that rubbing alcohol removes latex paint from clothing. Thank you interwebs!
- taken care of 3 old cans of paint (related to the above)
- put window bars up in the basement window over the deck
- and hung a new backyard solar motion detector light (creepy backyard intruders of the block begone!)
Next up - fixing the wobble on the downstairs toilet and patching and sealing the spot in the basement that the cat keeps staring at. The excitement never ends over here!
