In the continuing theme of settling into the house, I once again spent the weekend making myself mildly crazy.
On the plus side, I fabricated the brackets needed, and properly assembled my head & footboards to the new bedframe. This meant I could finalize where the furniture in my room went, and get most of the boxes in there unpacked. Pictures were also hung, so the bedroom is very close to done.
Several hours were put into the "Make the garage not a disaster." Right now Emily & the Bug are sitting on the lawn for lack of garage/driveway space. So I and a sweetie started trying to make sense of the junk filled garage. Several things were hung on the walls, and we emptied several boxes into cabinets and shelves. The rocket engines off Patchworks were hung about 10+ feet up on the back wall of the garage (The heaviest thing in there, mounted the highest up, Brilliant!). This both cleared up a lot of space, and made the place look really cool.
I also posted a bunch of things on Craigslist, and proved I shouldn't be allowed to post to craigslist while punchy.
As is usual with Craigslist, I have had about three emails each on both the futon and the couch saying essentially "I want it! I'll pick it up today!", and once I sent them my address, phone # and that I'd be free all afternoon they never contacted me or showed up. Except the one guy who said he'd be free after 5pm, and called me at 9pm asking to come look at a $40 futon. I'm currently resisting the urge to edit the ad with "People who emailed wanting this: 3, People who actually showed up to get it: 0", and just keep updating it.
