Not a good day.

It rained a bit last night, and the leak issues that I thought we had overcome at the back doors reared up again. I found one more place to caulk, and I really hope that takes care of things. We spent much of the morning moving stuff around and organizing. I went to Lowe’s for some nice plastic boxes that were on sale, but the store was sold out. I did manage to rent us a storage unit though. It isn’t the closest one, but it’s a nice 10×20 space, is still relatively convenient, and the price was decent. We took a lot of stuff from the house to there. I will also take everything from the condo to there. That will really simplify things.

Once the weather warmed up and the sun came out we started to paint. Or attempted to. I was going to move the man lift into position with the tractor, but I seemed to have lost the key. I looked everywhere for it, and think it fell out of a hole in my jacket pocket. I even went back to the storage unit in case it fell out there. And being Saturday afternoon the tractor dealer in Murfreesboro was already closed. My dad started spraying from the ladder while I continued to search. Finally I got an idea and moved the lift a little by pulling it with my car and a chain. Then I was able to hook it to my car and tow it into position. I couldn’t position it as well as I would have liked, but we still got some painted.  Not near enough though. I return the lift on Monday, and am a bit disappointed with how little we got done. Oh well, such is life. Starting Monday I will really focus on the interior. I will pick up flooring and start putting it down. That should be pretty fun and should go quickly. Once that is in place doors and base trim are next. Hopefully the last of my cabinets and vanities are coming soon. No pictures today as it was dark by the time we finished work.
