Yuck, serious work. I'm curious was the house flooded before you bought it?

lol no

it used to be the community center for the neighborhood built in the 70s.

in the 90s it was converted into a home (just over 3k sq ft). so it's a unique building and property in a normal neighborhood. No HOAs or anything.

I'm not sure the carpet they put in had been replaced since then (and it was in all rooms including bathrooms - minus the kitchen)

I was wondering because it looked like all of the drywall had been replaced about 3 feet up which usually indicates that there was water.

nope thats just the scum line from where they had wood paneling around the room! first thing I did was pull it down

then patched the bad drywall spots, rebuilt the stairs (they were over 7ft wide and curved) did the floors, still need to pull a done of panel nails and do some simple patching. and then paint ... can't wait for that bit ...

they are however quartz and hopefully the veining isn't super heavy (home depot purchase, so only got to see a small sample)

Woke up to the news that the company I work for is probably going to file for bankruptcy in the next four to six weeks.

I'm starting on my resume this afternoon.

Sorry to hear. Hope the transition is smooth.

Good luck going forward, Mike.

My school is closing permanently on June 5th. Looks like I'm retiring from my 8 year retirement job.

I'm looking at a couple of state jobs. If I work with the state until I hit SS age the pension should be nice.

Retirement is running up on me and I'm tired of constantly shifting around.

installed a saltwater generator for my pool today. I've been travelling a bunch and can't keep up with chlorine. This will help

I'll likely be having the whole pool renovated later this year. so for now the electrical from the timer box to the SWG controls stays as is (even if it hurts my soul). if we decline to do the renovation - I'll sort it out this fall

@mitetak I love it when you can quote yourself. The set up you have should make things easier. Saltwater is definitely better than chlorine.

I'm looking forward to the Mrs and my oldest son flying in today. Trying to get stuff ready for my father-in-law's 90th birthday celebration.

I prefer it instead of editing the previous post! it's like a stream of thought (which wanders significantly for me most of the time!!)
