This weekend, we should have been taking out Ciera’s vanities and getting the new flooring put down. Well, I’m done trying to plan or think what I’m going to do next on this house. This house decides what and when we do the next project. We put in the new soft water system in last weekend, and about mid-week Chad noticed water in the garage.
Disclamer: usually I will read any manuals and Chad does the work, with the water softner, we have done these so many times, I figured I could do something else as this is not rocket science. Long story short, they now have 2 valves when the system regenerates (I wasn’t there to read the manual, so being a guy – naturally, he didn’t bother to see why there was another valve. Now we know why there was water in the garage).
The previous owners put up paneling which we knew would be coming down, but one of the last projects to tackle. By the end of the week there was mold growing. EEK! We thought, no big deal, take the paneling down, we would put up sheet rock and one little portion of the garage would be done (silly thought). We took down the paneling and found they NEVER sealed the outside shingles so there was mold all over the plywood and studs. Well, change of plans, we had to fix the issue and replace the plywood and shingles.
We also had a portion on the back patio that we knew we needed to fix so while we were re-shingling, time to take down the ledge that was there and fix it.
Chad also made the garage critter proof since it is getting a little cooler at nights now. The point of a garage is that you SHOULD NOT see any light coming through around the door – if you do, well a critter could get in. I’m happy to say, the garage is pitch dark now. Yahoo! Little things make me so happy.
