End of an Era

Kenny and Burt will be leaving us at the end of the week. They haven’t finished everything that we wanted them to, but they’ve reached a point where they’re going to have to wait for us to do a lot of painting and prep-work before they can continue. And, they have two projects they’d like to take up in the mean time. If the stars are right, they should be coming back to us at the end of July, but you can never be sure.

Wednesday Energy Miser should be out to start blowing insulation for us. The whole process has me kind of nervous. On the one hand, I’m excited about getting insulation. On the other, I’m not real excited about them having to cut holes in the siding to blow it into the walls. It’s nothing that can’t be fixed and covered up, but I just don’t like the idea of it.

We’ve got a dumpster for the old insulation they’ll be removing. We’ve already started filling it up with all the trash and crap that has been laying around the Queen.

With Kenny packing up, we can clean out the dining room and living room. They’ve been his de facto workshop for months now. Once all the wood, tools, and saw dust are gone, we’ll have two rooms that are ready to be finished. You know the whole glorious scrape paint, scrub wood, prime, and paint routine. And, the floors can be refinished too. But, before we can begin on them, we’ll have to do the same routine the hallway, Gideon’s room, and the master bed & bath.
