I guess I should post something since it have been almost a month.

This property is killing me!!! In 3 weeks we have filled a construction size dumpster, ripped out carpet, cleaned the dirtiest trailer on earth, unpacked, moved stuff, unpacked, moved stuff again, hung fans, moved more stuff. Its crazy. It seems like we have done so much but to say it seems like so little. Our list of projects keeps mounting. Lots of the things we want to do are on the back burner until we take care of all of the things that have to be done soon.

We have all new appliances for the kitchen but don't get the cabinets until the 23rd, at which point we will be installing them ourselves. The counter tops will follow 2 weeks later. In the mean time we had to clean up the trailer so we could use the kitchen to cook our meals. We have learned that the sink fixture leaks and we have been unable to fix it, the drain is pouring under the trailer, not in the septic, and every time I turn on the stove it smells like cooking rat turds. Its bad. I hope the smell goes away soon. It makes me not want to eat. Dan said he threw up in his mouth the first time he smelled it. Things a mother does to feed her family! I wonder if its actually a cooking rat carcus that I am smelling? yummy

With the new carpet and wall washing, the trailer is almost ready for my parents to visit at the end of the month. I do have to move in a dresser, hem some curtains, and wipe down a few more walls, but nothing that should take more than a day or two. I hope they are comfortable. My biggest fear is them saying how dumpy it is, because its hundreds, possibly thousands of times better than it was when we got here. God bless CLR, Mr. Clean, and Pinesol. I will make sure there is lots to drink. That way they won't notice how bad it is. I did test it out, and you can't smell the cooking rat shit in the bedroom, so atleast they don't have to try and sleep through that.

We still have a couple sheds to demo and burn, lots of weeding to do and another shed that really needs to be cleaned and organised. I also want to move the pull behind trailer that is too close to the fire pit, and clear out a lot of the bramble. I am thinking that clearing in the cooler months would actually be the best idea since the plants would be dormant and wouldn't immediately start growing back.

Work is going fine. I wish I wasn't so brain dead from exhaustion. I have made more mistakes lately than usual, and I feel bad because someone else is paying me.

Chet has taken to peeing all over the bathroom. I can't keep anything near the toilet, actually on the bathroom floor period. He goes on the seat, lid, floor, I wouldn't be surprised if he hit the tub, and trash can too. I don't know how much more of it I can handle. I think I am going to have to send him outside since I can't afford depends.

Things are just tough right now. I know it will get better, I just need a little down time.
