Back at it

Mad is back. While initially Mike and Denise were thrilled to have a house free of furniture to complete home improvement tasks in, we’re now happy to announce that our furniture arrived yesterday. There is no experience more sublime than sleeping in your bed, with your sheets, after over three weeks of hotel beds and air mattresses. Today, mad went beyond stripping wallpaper to removing a bunch (and by bunch I mean four) of interior doors on the main level of the house. It immediately opened the house up and made our furniture “fit” the house a little more. In addition, we’ve started the process of removing the intense security gate that my grandparents had installed (it’s a little overkill for the neighborhood). We’ve installed a piece of plexiglass over the large glass opening in the door to diffuse the light, increase privacy, and improve safety sans gate. When I find my camera under the boxes, I’ll share more. To follow up on our previous post, things have improved on the infrastructure front. We now have a fully-functional bathroom with a working shower and toilet, and the electrician has started to improve our power situation with more improvements slated for Tuesday (by which time we should even have a working doorbell). Happy fourth of July for everyone in the states!
