A little bit of house cleaning today and I get to see my niece. 
Also going to pick up a tool that my step-dad is sending me that he bought when they were going to come over to help me with the porch initially. Awesome little mini-chainsaw type thing that I've never seen before. Slices through wood like butter. Great for any future demolition I'm going to be doing.
I've got a maple tree that seems to be slowly dying. There are two very large limbs that have no leaves at all near the bottom of the tree. I'm going to have to find a way to take care of that sooner than later. One large branch extends out toward the street. Nobody ever parks there car in front, but kids to walk back and forth to school around us. We don't have sidewalks, so they tend to walk on the street, and there isn't much through traffic or walking around here, but it is a potential problem that needs to be taken care of before somebody gets hurt.
Chainsaws and step ladders. What could go wrong?

Oh...
I found those pics of the light switch that I had to bring into the bedroom:
Honestly, I forgot how tricky that was. Kind of cool that I have a bit of a diary of the previous work I've done right on this site. :)
And that used to be what my best friend called "The Clown Room" before I fixed it up.

Out in a bit. Books to donate and the weather can't make up its mind.

My brother has been transferred back to a rehab facility in the city I live in. He says he hopes to be out next week and home.

lol yeah. Pretty gross.
If the mold wasn't going to scare me off and save me from buying this house, too bad the primary color room didn't.

I can't make up my mind about those stairs. It's not just a matter of money here, but a matter of time. There's still a ton of stuff I need to be getting done with the house and it's a super time consuming process. I think I just need to take it one step at a time and get the other step finished and button up that exposed facia in the front and try to figure out of the racoon is gone so I can start cleaning up the porch attic and seal off the house attic from the porch.
That last part is pretty scary. I really don't know how I'd know if the racoon is still up there or not. I could be picking up after her and she could sneak up on me and bite me on the ass or something.
At least the ammonia didn't seem to drive her back into the house attic though. There's no mistaking when she's up there.
Oh jeez... The weather just changed again. We weren't supposed to have rain at all in the next week to 10 days. Now there's a 50% chance of thunderstorms today and 40% chance tomorrow.
Ugggg... nasty. It's also going to be in the 90's every day this week. Going to be sweating in my house even when I'm doing nothing.
