Current round of home improvements finished and handyman paid. (This is getting scary -- I'm watching my "cushion" fall rapidly.)

Done -- bedroom bookcase (so I can free up floorspace and get the books back into the bookcase; oh, and sell a few of them), bathroom floor done, Biolet installed and working, outdoor faucet working (and a new shutoff put in there), back door screen fixed so I can actually USE the screen door without Rufus getting out...and it fixed so my tush won't go through it when I'm trying to open the inside door, and I now have a lot more light in the kitchen -- he fixed the hanging stained glass lamp and put a new light up aimed at the stove and countertop. I still have to find some inexpensive fixtures to replace the black cannister lights, but not immediately.

I still need to get someone up on the roof to recaulke flashing around chimney and put the screen over the the Biolet vent pipe. And what I had thought was a cosmetic problem with a crack in a wall, upon further investigation turns out to be a lot of stress on a couple joists, so that will be the next focus.

Gotta run,
