Well…after eating dust for another day and finally getting the drawers painted with two coats,  I can say I’m almost done with the kitchen…kitchen cabinets that is and will put the handles on them tomorrow and put them in their places…and I even got the last set of blinds today and can clean the window and install them tomorrow…and then two weeks of cleaning up downstairs and up here since I can leave trails in the dust everywhere and that can’t be healthy for me after the rashes I got from dust exposure the past few days…I did have a nice lunch with my brother today and that in itself was weird…went down to the no name saloon just down the street where you can get a burger, fries, and a beer for 6 bucks for lunch and I even picked up the tab…talking about the two new houses going up across the street, he mentioned that he thinks my house on this double lot is worth 140K now…and if that’s true, I’ve made 50K on this place since I bought it a year ago…. and that gives me almost 90K in equity…and that’s not bad with being broke 3 years ago…and that gets me well over my goal of having over 100K in assets that I thought I wouldn’t get to for a few years at least…so that makes me pretty comfortable and I am really looking forward to the week off after I clean this place up….life isn’t bad…
