I just wasn't sure.

I had a lot of work to do, and a lot of sorting.  The boxes had to be sorted and put somewhere, along with the garden hoses and some other such.  Insulation remnants to... stuff!  Plus the freezer had to be emptied and space ended up being just a little tighter than I had planned.  Thankfully the freezer on the standing fridge was still empty.  Load after load, box of bags after box, it finally all got put away.  I swept the now open floor for the first time... in a very long time.  When the washer and dryer are taken out, I will sweep under where they had been, then mop, mop, and mop again if needed, and everywhere.

While I still have just a bit more to do in the back hall/porch, I think I will begin on the kitchen and living room.  If we can get the appliances through the back side door, great.  If not it will just have to be a long slog through the house.  Tomorrow only the dryer may be going.  The washer and range will go the next day.  When do the others arrive?  I best call.  Yeah.  But the areas they will occupy will be clean and ready, and there will be nothing to remove.  I will not let them go without getting the items squared though.  Flat, level, clean, and working... or they take whatever isn't working back.  I'll tip, if they do a good job.  I'll tell them to piss off if they show up with attitude.

I really didn't think I'd be able to get to it.  I AM sore, I AM stiff, I AM tired, worn, shutting down.  And, yet, I did get to it.  More, I am not finished.  Not tonight, not tomorrow night, not until everything is in and working.  THEN, if still needed, I can take a breather.  Although, if I get the heavy parts done, I have no problem gearing down and doing lighter efforts.  You would not recognize the place from where I started two weeks ago.  And, in another two weeks to month, I won't recognize the joint.

My boxes arrived today.  I'll have to experiment with the sizes and for what.  I want to check packing material costs at walmart/sich while I am at it.  Yeah, a bucket of chicken, though I think I can make my own slaw and cauliflower 'mashed potatoes'.  I can make those latter in a large batch and just nibble it and the chicken.  I probably should get something else as well, but what?  I'll think on it.  I don't want to mess with cooking, mostly, but I do need food.  Hmm... better just buy the slaw, actually, and maybe some other salads.  I just... the stove will be gone and the grill doesn't work for that.  Yeah.  All good though, too.  Once in a while it's nice not to have to fuss with food.

Later.
