First on our agenda was picking up a worker to take out the cat urine-stained hardwood floors. This was my first time picking up a worker and I do not think I will be doing it by myself any time soon. There were a bunch of (mostly Mexican) clearly very poor men standing around. As soon as they saw my dad's Porsche they jumped up and swarmed around the car, yelling out "pick me!" and all kinds of advertisements about the kind of work they do. So my dad picked out the most vocal and agressive among them. They went to the flip house while I went to a grocery store with a list of various foods/supplies.
Progress today:
1. Stinky stained hardwood floor in living room totally ripped out. Cat urine has stained the floor boards underneath, so hopefully that can be fixed by the odor guys.
2. Sketched where to rip out drywall (also to remedy odor problem).
3. various screws and nails removed
4. electrical face plates in the way of removing drywall removed.
5. Home Depot run to get ladder, wood, and other materials. Also, Home Depot carries PowerAde ZERO, a totally yumtastic way to enjoy powerade without the sugar! Yay!
