Getting settled.

I am almost done with the major projects for now. The house is completely liveable at this point. The fridge, dishwasher and stove are installed, I have internet service, a bed and a handful of food stuffs. Not too shabby. I plan on having the floor in the living room done by this weekend, and the kitchen sink fully functioning as soon as my dad can check out the drain pipe. I’m excited and scared for the months to come. It’s just getting colder out and I’m running my heater and electricity more often and I’m sure the first utility bill for me being in the house is going to suck fiercely. I’ve replaced all the bulbs (18) in the house with CFL’s and I am running a space heater to save energy. I’m not sure if the space heater costs less to run than the gas heater, but we’ll see. It sure is quieter though.

Some things I accomplished this weekend… I just pulled the kitchen table out of the basement. Its a pimp 1970′s grey laminate deal with fold out sides from my childhood. It’ll do for now. I got the shower in the back to the point it only leaks a tablespoon or so instead of a gallon or five. I cleaned the cabinets to the point I am ok putting things I eat off in them. Installed some grippy stuff in the shelves for a feeling of extra germ protection. Moved some more cabinets back into the kitchen and cleaned the hell out of them. I can’t wait to get the Flying Spaggetimas tree up and decorated for Fmas we made some awesome globe ornaments as an homage to His divine meatballs.
