Labor day 9-5-2011 was awesome. Easily the most productive day we have had on this place. The day started out slow with me botching a key handoff for my old apartment and "accidentally" breaking into some mailboxes to no avail. Left a text message to clear up the confusion, had some good breakfast at Bagels and Brew and got to work.

Finished taking the redwood siding out of working bathroom. Sink and some siding were removed Sunday. Installed the garbage disposal we had picked up Sunday, with some clutch thinking from Belle when I did not have plumbers putty. She pointed out that I did in fact have plumbers putty from the Toilet fix on Thursday. Disposal in, no leaks.

Get to work on the yard, chipper shreddering the walnut branches I cut down on Friday. Also run some more of hideous bush through the shredder.

Text message comes back, pick up the keys and start packing up old apartment. Do a precautionary load of laundry. Dad calls saying he is in the area and can help. Thank God. We move the fridge and Washer/Dryer along with tons of miscellaneous stuff. I am fully reunited with my tools.

Install washer and dryer, but in order to move them in it was just Belle and I and the washer is very heavy. She did a great job but regardless got her fingers hurt by the sheer weight of the thing and the crappy handholds. Also the Koi pond had to move which I was able to thankfully slide and slide back.

Did a load of sheets in the new setup. Hooray!
