I can do it. And Home Depot sells it.

That rental property will be almost all new when I am done with it.

The latest is, the entire hall bathroom will be remodeled. First, I started to remove the tile from around the tub, for a repair. Well, a lot of the wallboard behind the tile was rotted. Where it was not rotted, the tiles started falling off randomly. Well, then I uncovered rust on the tub. The turquoise green tub will be replaced. The vanity was rotted. All and all, I dropped another $650 at Home Depot on new fixtures, and that does not include the tile.

I finally got the wall paper down off the stairway to the basement. I patched the walls, and started priming them. Well, it would not be Matt's luck, without a problem. The primer started to peel away some of the paper from the gypsum. So I am going to have to do some more wall patches and reprime those spots.

The new appliances arrived. The fridge is neato, though it did not come with a digital temperature readout/adjuster. The floor sample had one, the fridge we got had just some LED lights coresponding to warmer and colder. The ice maker has an adjuster for the size of ice it spits out. I went ahead and flipped the pannel over on the dishwasher from almond to white. Again, it would not be a Matt thing without a problem. Under the pannel, the dishwasher was rusting out. There are rust stains on the white side of the pannel. We may have to replace the dishwasher. I saw some decent ones for around $350.

I got the interior doors. My dad needs to hang them this week. It is absolutely amazing all the stuff that this house needed. I don't seem to be getting everything done. I may need until the end of the month. But that place will be super nicely rehabed for a rental. It just sucks that everything was bascially trashed up at the same time, making for an expensive process for my parents. But the house is a cash cow for my parents, so I don't feel so bad.

Today Brian, Rem and I did some work on the Linden Tree houses. We did a little bit of clean up, and I made a trip to Home Depot for boards, hinges, locks and other things. That trip was nearly $700, out of the LLC's account. But we hit a snafu. We still only had starter checks from the Bank. Rem had to put it on his charge card, and he's going to have to write a check to himself for the materials we bought today. I just hope none of the LLC members throw a fit. Paul is moved into his house, finally. It has turned out nice, I would do somethings differently than he did, but overall it will be a great house for many years to come for them.

Tonight was the Super Bowl. I only half heartedly watched it, because none of the teams I really follow or like were in it. The commericals were not as ingenious as in years past. The Simpsons afterwards was very creative, even injecting the Super Bowl halftime show where Pac Man and Ms. Pac Man got married. The new show American Dad was definitely So Northern Virginia. The attitude of the dad. The affluenza. So on and so forth. I don't see it being a huge hit for Fox though. Futurama lived up to it's hype. And then Fox killed it after only four seasons (that lasted five seasons). American Dad will last two tops.

My next purchase with my big paycheck coming my way will be an XBox with some games. And I will make three truck payments. I just want to get back to my daily routine at Capitol Hill though. That income is provable, since I get a 1099 every year. I won't get one from my parents since I am just a GC.

Well, I wish everyone a good night.
