Monday

Greg and I took down the plaster in the upstairs bathroom and some of the bead board. We found a sheet of drywall on the ceiling and some cardboard-like material on the wall, both were harder to remove then the plaster. We also canceled our cable service at our apartment because we figure we could use the money and we will have no time for TV. The water department was by to turn on our water, but we have the wrong fitting so next weekend we will fix it and have a working shower, toilet, and sink. Today we were also able to remove the nasty fridge and sink so hopefully the house will start to smell better. The kitchen smelled like urine when we first "moved in".

Tomorrow is my grandfather's wake and funeral so we will be back to work on Wednesday. I think working on the house is helping me to deal with his death and is what he would want.
