House, redux

A good day with the house. The Ikea kitchen cabinets have arrived and are flat-packed in the basement, the electrician is paid and his work tested, a drywaller is willing to tape and finish drywalling we do, which is fine, I sold copper piping for $20 to some passing scrap dealers, and the dumpster (#3) is mostly full, filled with:


  • 3fl wreckage from ripping that kitchen out (at least in theory, there were at one time five kitchens in the house), and last of the 3fl linoleum
  • rolled-up carpet from the basement
  • the huge pile of wreckage on the front porch, including the gas stove. Anybody want two stoves and three refrigerators? Heavy pickup will only do three at a time.
  • all kitchen wreckage on the back patio minus the concrete: mostly tile and ply.

  • Also lots of sweeping. After all that, I went to work. :)
