200th Pint

I have officially been a homeowner for a week now! The dehumidifier and the heat have been running for a week, and the house is finally starting to dry out. This afternoon I emptied the 200th pint of water from the dehumidifier! I also finished mopping and scrubbing the walls of 3 of the bedrooms with chlorox. I took Tux and Scout with me to the house today, and they had fun running all over the backyard and chasing each other all day while I was cleaning.

When my dad got there after work, we puttied the nail holes, dents, and scratches in 2 of the bedrooms. Since I had a steep learning curve and the putty was dry and hard to work with, he actually did most of the puttying. (Is that a word?) Tux also tried to help with the putty by following my dad's every move and attempting to eat any putty that fell on the floor. Then we decided it was probably best to go home so we could feed them dog food instead of putty.

Tomorrow evening while I'm at work, my dad is going to putty the 3rd bedroom. I'm planning to add on to the end of the house where the yellow bedroom and bathroom are, so we're not doing anything to those rooms right now. Tomorrow is my first day of actually working in the ER, so I will be using my hands to start IVs instead of scrubbing walls. I hate that I won't be able to work on my house tomorrow, but it's probably a good idea to give my brain cells a break from the chlorox fumes.
