Today I got the tire plugged and that's about it. Instead of going to the new house I just came home and climbed into bed.

Today I swapped out some of the incandescent bulbs in the kitchen/living room area with LED bulbs, removed a screw from a soffit vent (so that I can match it up and possibly get some new screws if necessary, but it came out pretty easily and is only mildly rusted so I'm thinking that I may not need to), and removed the wheel with the leaking tire ( Read more... )

I didn't go by the house today, but I did pay the garbage bill for the coming month and pick up some more light bulbs for the house from Lowes. I forgot to get a second flood light bulb for the security lamp behind the house though. ::sigh:: I'm very disorganized right now.

Today I went down to the house with plans to do a few things and basically accomplished none of it.

I did get the drawers and shelves for the fridge washed and reinstalled though. I also got some more lightbulbs replaced and put an LED-compatible day/night photometric sensor on the porch light. I grabbed a spare bulb from the parents' house and ( Read more... )

Well, I did a lot of shopping today. I picked up an oil filter and oil for the mower since it's almost time for the break-in oil change. Then I went shopping for a new bed. I had planned on using my parents' old waterbed frame, but as it turns out they had kept part of it for their new bed and what was left wasn't particularly useful to me. I hit ( Read more... )

Today was another long day at work and I was too tired to do any work on the house, so I didn't go out to the new house tonight.

However, I did go to Home Depot to check out options for the porch light. I had a particular lamp in mind, but when I got there and looking at everything I decided that I liked another design better.  Then when I went to ( Read more... )

Tonight I didn't do any real work on the house. Dad and I went out and walked the yard, assessing what needs to be done with some of the trees and brush, as well as taking note of the proliferation of fire ant mounds. We also inspected and discussed some of the plumbing and electrical items that were listed on the home inspection. So much to do and ( Read more... )

Tonight after work I got down to the house fairly quickly and got to work fixing the bent bracket on the anti-scalp wheel of the mower, then got busy mowing the rest of the yard. The new mower made pretty quick work of it (all things considered) but I didn't really focus on doing a great job since I plan to mow it again at a lower deck-height ( Read more... )

Today after work I hit up the home improvement stores and got some light bulbs for the dryer, a couple of new seats for the toilets, a new spout for the bedroom bathroom, and some soap dishes and such for both bathrooms. The cheap plastic seats that were on the toilets were both unappealing to sit on and to look at, so I replaced them with some ( Read more... )

Not much to report today. It's been another long day at work and when I finally got done, I picked up some more stuff from the store(s) and took some more supplies down to the house, but didn't do any actual work tonight.
