Tired and achey (sp?) due to the four hours of hard physical labour today. I have a 2 basement apts in my house and one has been vacant for about a year because the previous tenant trashed it. And after the insurance company stripped the place and sprayed it I have been unmotivated to do anything with it. Needs a good scrub top to bottom, new floors, paint job, and all the little details fixed. Last week a neighbour stopped by and offered to rent it because he is looking for a small, cheaper place. So now I have a month to get it in shape, on top of everything else I need to do around here. Or I guess instead of. This afternoon I pulled up all the tile - three rooms plus the bathroom. Tomorrow I will take down all the light fixtures and clean them….someone is coming Monday to scrub it down, then I can paint…it is all good but all so overwhelming. I don’t know what I want to do with the floors. I am not sure how I feel about having another person in the building. I am away a lot so it won’t really have an impact on my life.
On the other hand, my inner HGTV design diva is being released!
Also, in addition to the hard work today, still have to go for a walk AND I am under 1700 again. Yay me!
Not going to count the labour as exercise for the ticker though.
