5,194 steps yesterday.

Not a lot of steps but a lot of lifting, shifting and sorting through boxes. We're about 2/3 finished with clearing out and organizing. Then come the construction portion. The dead line is end of March as TNR reopens and my friend will be busy there again. She has been a real help and will do the construction as she had her own construction company for a longtime.

I got a little bogged down looking in some of the boxes...too many memories in them!

Yeah, going through boxes of papers and things is hard sometimes.  What to throw out and what to keep takes time.  I need to do a lot of that.

So many of the boxes haven't been touched since I packed them for the move here, 20 years ago. And the tubs of Christmas decorations the same, so hard to look at all the beautiful ornaments that we collected and treasured together for years, carefully putting them up each Christmas and then packing them away for the next year. I kind of wish I didn't look in those tubs!

Lots of boxes going in the yard sale pile...

6,552 steps yesterday.

Quick PO & grocery run. While shopping, the furnace people called and said they are coming today to finish installation of A/C and moving thermostat. Great, but I'll have to postpone garage work for a day.  They'll be under the house and that is kitties "safety" spot so don't want to also take away the side yard one too by working near there. So Friday will be garage day instead.

It at least gives me another day of rest. Just some light work in garage is it for today.

4691 steps yesterday.  Well last night after dinner my right knee started to give me problems, it must have heard me talking about it!  Kind of sore this morning but as funny as it seems walking on it seems to help and so far I am doing OK.

6,326 steps yesterday.

Never did get to garage yesterday. Lots or workmen in and out between the 2 Furnace men, then 2 Electricians it was kind of a mad house here! And of course I was watching and asking questions all along the way so lots of up and down as they worked.

Furnace guys found a part in original installation that was faulty that was making all the noise when unit started each time. Warranty replaced it and they said it isn't unusual to have some factory parts go a bit wonky in first few months of operation. Now it starts soooo quietly and it even runs quieter too, no more jet taking off sounds when it operated!

A/C all installed except for a new breaker and then Monday they will do the final start up procedure and I will be ready for whatever Summer brings! They also replaced thermostat which originally was above a furnace vent (why???) and put a wireless one on the wall opposite in the kitchen where I had a landline phone still attached. Bye bye phone, hello thermostat! It is programmable too! Amazing how improved things are these days!

Today will be back to the garage clearing/organizing.

6,993 steps yesterday. So close to the goal I have set right now of 7,000 steps! It was just by accident, not that I was trying.

Worked hard in garage, totally exhausted when I finally had to stop. All the boxes have been moved and reviewed, stacked in "keep to go through" later and "yard sale" piles on car side of garage. All the furniture is in yard sale area. The throw away pile is not nearly as much as the other two!

Almost finished with clearing, just a tiny corner mostly straw and my lawn mower/yard tools to get out of build side. My friend is going to start removing attached hangers and some shelving today in prep to begin construction which looks like next week sometime, Yay! Just hope kitties will accept it!

Glad the heavy lifting and moving is done. It has been an exhausting couple of days and I am so achey all over a few days of rest will come well.

I never in a million years been able to do this alone!! I am so grateful to my friend for her help and ideas on the construction. Having had her own construction co. for years she knows how to source the best prices for things we will need. I really lucked out that she was part of the TNR volunteer organization!

4279 steps yesterday.  Today I am suffering a bit with diarrhea and feeling kind of cruddy so going to just take it easy.
It sounds like quite a project Barbara.

It is! And I'd never have even tried w/out my TNR friend's encouragement and help!

I'll post a pix when it is all clear and another when done in the Chit Chat thread.

4,193 steps. yesterday.

I did as little as possible, really feeling all the work in garage. Just swept up all the straw and bagged it and went through one last box. It contained my mother's sterling silver baby cup! But it opened up a whole new mystery. She always said it was her baby cup but the initials engraved on it were BJN. Her childhood initials were BJT. But she was adopted, and I don't know at what age, so those may have been her birth initials. Funny I never noticed that before. And ironically her married initials were BJN! Can't think of any reason she would have had a "baby" cup made after marriage. Weird.

Today final clean out of garage and measuring for wall board and divider for car area.This just might get done this month after all! Only other thing on agenda is gathering garbage.

6,217 steps yesterday.

Cat area is all cleared out, shelves and bench removed in prep for wall board installation. I am so tired and achey and my hands hardly work at all. But this has to get finished so we can be ready to get the rest of the cats fixed once the TNR reopens in April, before too many kittens are born. Today is going to be the real planning stage and shopping lists for items needed made. Garage still needs a good sweeping out, but major clearing is done.

Also today, the A/C guys and electricians are coming to do final install and start up of AC so it is going to be a very hectic day. Poor kitties have had their schedules disrupted so much during all this I hope we can get back to calm soon for their sake!

I could stand a nice long rest too!!  ~ cat ~

No work in garage yesterday, body said "take another day of rest" and I agreed. Furnace tech and electrician were both here yesterday doing final start up of A/C. I now have a fully functional Furnace-A/C combo unit!! It is going to be so nice in those too hot Summer days!!
