After more fun with a reciprocating saw, the house stands empty. Sitting in the emptiness was tougher than I thought: I miss both of my grandparents terribly; today was the first time I let myself feel it since he died.
Downstairs done: all shit (figuratively and literally) removed, all final bits and bobs ready for transport to outbuilding this weekend. Deep clean vac doing its thing, though I'll have to do another round to vanquish the litterboxing of the carpeting. Attic also done, bowling balls and such, as are all the bedrooms, and, thanks to titular fun with reciprocating saw, his office. Should be able to finish up shed and garage this weekend, then toss the keys at the lawyer's office on my way the hell out of town.
The last week of festivities are here. Today: pool table room emptied and steam-vacuumed; lingering cat piss miasma didn’t know what hit it. Had fun with my new reciprocating saw cutting apart an entertainment center, oh so very much fun. Also cleaned: room under the stairs that has pegboard walls.
Public service announcement: if you ever buy one of those Hart power tools from Wal-Mart and your battery won’t charge, watch this video before wasting money buying a replacement. Simple fix (battery too low on charge from factory for charger to recognize it), lots of fun to implement.
Behold, the glorious empty.
