Remodeling.
Alot of the house furnishings are still in the garage including our stove (yah,i know...) and our washer, dryer, 3 sofas, tables. It's cool to see nice looking strong tile all over the house. All of what used to be our carpet is sitting outside in a lump in the the back yard. We haven't brought anything in so it's cool to think that i can do cartwheels in the living room. Okay, so...no cartwheels. I can't do those but damn, i can run clear across if i wanted. Alot of the times when i go get something, i run to go get it, not walk. Weirdness? I don't know. I do get that "why do you run?" question from people but then i can't answer it because it's just my thing. I run. Walking's for the Weak ;)

We might start moving in some of the funiture tomorrow. Mum's clearly nervous because everything is kind of messy and she's kind of an OCD when it comes to cleaning and all that. I have to pretty much tell her that there's no point in hyper-ventalating about the mess since she knew it was going to get this way if she wanted new flooring done. Besides, once it's all done she knows that i'll be around to help her get eveyrthing back to it's spic and span self. The only thing we put back in the house was our Main telly. It's the one that has the DVR and therefore controls the other three televisions in the house. We also get our internet and home phone through the DVR service so we had two days of no phone, no net, and no television. The DVR has to be plugged in for all the other televisions to work. No one in this house can live if none of these things are working. At some point while the men worked in our living room, we all had to stay in a room together, starring at eachother's faces. Dad's snoring, Mom's sickly look and our Dog barking like a Doberman because it's not used to strangers was driving everyone fucking mad. She didn't stop barking for 2 days. That drove mum crazy.

Eventually, i left the house and i went over to Leslie's for a little while and everyone else left too so that they'd give the guys a chance to work in peace. Now that the three things we need the most are funtioning, we're all a little more relaxed.
No one said remodeling was easy.
