Exhausted
Holy crap am I tired today! For the past week my wife and I have been preparing out basement rec room for the new carpet. So we’ve been sanding down drywall mud, painting and cleaning the area and removing the last bits of carpet. After the carpet went down on Friday I spent about 5 hours putting together a lot of out of the box shelves. But today I got a break from all that… helped my Mother move to the city I live in. So I got up really early to get a U-Haul and drove it 4 hours to get her and her stuff. Packed it up with family help (my van was so full it looked like I was driving up hill all the way home) and then drove it 4 hours back and unloaded it. I did have help with that too though so it went fast. Now I’m ready to fall over I’m so damn tired. Tomorrow I get to go help her unpack boxes and then come back and try to straighten up my laundry room because that is still crazy after the whole new carpet instal.
It’ll all be over soon right? Then I can relax again… right?

Holy heck, man, you are busy. The renovations would be enough on their own, but moving your mom too?! Hope you have time to chill soon.
Oh, you may think I’m odd, but I find framing and drywalling oddly satisfying. Something about seeing a wall go from non-existant to smoothly painted and knowing that I made it happen is pretty cool in my book. Plus, you get to lay the room out exactly how you like it.
