Kit's Kitty Korner [1 to 30!]

[Kitalpha Hart]

Last thing I heard about was the well
That, I believe, is waiting on the Offical Test, and then they cab get another check and final signing

[Kitalpha Hart]

Parents have done their final sale
So I expect that moving will be starting this weekend

[galled]

The end of the tunnel is near!!!

What's the first thing you are going to do?

[Kitalpha Hart]

Be amazed at how much the place echoes after the placed is cleared out
Get everything gunky off the floors cuz my nieces got a Slime Phase that dad killed by sending the middle home with allllllllll the slime. Their home is fully carpeted. Also cat puke
I'll still have the one table, so imma get it up against the one wall and get my fairy garden back up
Get the downstairs more how I'd like it
They're letting me keep the older TV and that firestick, so that one needs hidive added and then that's good. That'll most likely end up against the stairwell
Move the cedar chest into the back room so I have somewhere to sit as I get my shoes on (and be a spot to drop off my work bag)
After that, downstairs is more or less ready to roll
Upstairs, get my desk moved into a different room, so that I have a bedroom and an arts n crafts room
Reorganize my books, since I'll have space for books outside my room
Get more of the decor stuff I have out and free up space that way
Get the one dresser into my room (if they don't take it)
Free up my closet of what's stored in it, use those racks in my arts n crafts room
Decorate with what I've got and the space I have. Lots of posters lol

And after that basically it's shopping time, but that won't be for a couple weekends minimum, especially since my area is getting mandates again
Today/tomorrow got canceled (basically all of first, including my lead, has stuff going on to where they'll either be calling in entirely or only running a half day) but Monday is still on

With work, I'm expecting this is gonna take me at least a month

After that it's basically all the small stuff is done, time to worry about the big stuff. Like the furnace. The insulation. The bathroom (which will be the first Major Thing cuz leaky old toilet is, uh, Not Good). Turning the back room back into a sunroom (terracotta tiles, gonna be so pretty but SO EXPENSIVE. #worthit). Windows all updated cuz I'm pretty sure even the new ones could use replacements at this point and I might as well get them all done at once. The one upstairs window that's an arc will go from plain glass to stained glass (gonna be so PRETTY)

I do need to be a smartass to dad and tell him that I must speak with the butler about getting the fireplace prepped for winter (aka dad I think we're about at that point)

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Sounds like you have so many plans & are making it not only pretty but YOURS with all the special touches.

Ya, my focus would be on prepping for winter first as that is just around the corner & be here before you know it.

Home stuff seems to go on sale in seasons so look that up so you can plan ahead & get the best deals.

Windows are expensive but discounts can be found.
Tile comes on sale & if you do it yourself then cheaper. Lots of youtube how to's.

[Kitalpha Hart]

Yeah I have plans
Time and money tho

But once they're at least 90% moved out I can start really doing what I want
So basically the major furniture is out

[galled]

Upgrading stuff like insulation and the furnace are investments that will save you money and increase your quality of life in your home. So exciting!

[Kitalpha Hart]

And would've been done decades ago if my sister wasn't so "keeping up with the joneses" while she was growing up and my parents had spines to tell her no

[Gingerale]

At least you have an idea what will be done & it sounds like you are planning to save for it.

Yay, house to yourself!!

[galled]

Please be sure to post a picture of the fairy garden when it's ready! We'll wait patiently.

[npixelz]

Agreed

[Kitalpha Hart]

Yeah im.gonna need glue of some kind for the fairy garden, a lot of stuff broke and thankfully it wasn't shattered, just big chunks fallen off so they're fixable

[Lemon Cheesecake]

oh nice! Looking forward to seeing it too!

[Kitalpha Hart]

Yeah, right now mom's focusing on her yarn room/middle niece's "room", which acts kinda as my storage, so I need to get a broom and the bins I have in there can be lined up against the one wall, nice and out of the way

[Kitalpha Hart]

Ah, yes, the good ol' "we went to fix shit and broke it worse instead"
Hopefully the problem's solved

Parents moving currently has a bit of delay running: corn's come in so the focus is getting that all taken care of. Husked, shaved, cooked, bagged, frozen
Mom n dad have been chipping away at that, they're almost done, so my guess is that tomorrow/later today it'll be finished entirely and they can go back to packing to move out
