Haven't had much to update, as things have hit a lull. I did get an inspection done on the house and it turned out really well. There was one concern (well, major concern), and that was regarding the chimney for the fireplace. It's been fully encased in vinyl siding, which typically indicates there's some weathering, and is done to protect it from further damage, so I had a chimney expert come out. Haven't heard about that one yet, but I'm kind of hoping it's bad. If so, I could negotiate a lower price, then have it repaired/restored, which will improve the equity in the house.
The shop told me they probably wouldn't start working on the Dodge until this coming week, so not much has happened with that either. I did finally receive my power brake conversion kit, which means I've gotten everything I ordered to start working on the brakes, once I get the car back. The only thing I'll have left to buy is the hard & the rubber brake lines.
I also made a small bit of progress on the house - I finally cleared out all the scrap wood in the back drive (cut down to fire-pit sized chunks), and did the touch-up paint on the LR trim & the stairs. Oh, I also touched up the entry door stops/frames a bit too. Today, I'm combining car & house stuff (as long as it doesn't rain); painting the brake brackets & calipers, and in between that I'll be taking bottles back (man, do I have a stack of bottles to return!), and I think I might return the over-sink light fixture I'd bought, in order to find something a little easier to install (based on the sink light I saw in the new place). No receipt, so I'm hoping they'll be ok with giving me store credit. I've also got laundry & "spring-cleaning" to do in the bedroom/kitchen (oh, shit, just realized I need to add "wash windows" to my list - they're really bad!).
I just counted the number of items in my list of "house things to do" and it currently stands at 30, four of which are done. Ugh. At least I still have 7 weeks left...
