day 2 - it’s going too fast, day three, what the hell day is it?
Ok so I get to the house at the butt crack of dawn, and I am determined to find the cemetery.....Remember there are wicked evil poisonous spiders, bugs, flying things and snakes here - I am a site - shorts, tank top, big yellow knee high rubber boots, my black patent leather 'jersey girl' bag over my shoulder, along with a lopper, rake and scthye - if you don't know what that is, it's a crecent shaped knife on a really long handle - leathel weapon - rocks! I look at the survey & figure the cemetery is about 60 feet into the electrical easment and about 60 feet back....so right I am...! I start chopping with the loppers...(have to tell you...my dad is listening to QUEEN right now...so random..) and start finding stones..I found at least 7-8 families between yestrday & today.......of course I want to move to a state that is second only to austrailia in evil poisonus bug ....some of the names are....(last names) Norman, West, Muse, Ireland, Riggs, Homan..and so on...oldest date of death so far is 1910....funny - we bought the "Tingle Family" house - not a damn Tingle buried there....so I chop and clean up for about an hour and a half - now Mr. Norman- well they didn't give him quite a decent buriel i am thinkin or he was really a big guy, or his buryiers were lazy. His grave was raised up and covered with bricks. I chopped all the small trees but there were these vines all over his brick tomb , and I was afraid if I pulled the vines, the bricks would fall off and I would expose his body!!!!!!
Anyway - go back to the house to start ripping down the ceilings to expose what we are dealing with.....all of the upstairs bedroom floors are mushy so the home inpsector figured that the joists werent on 16" and boy was he right....all are 24" +, but first - you have seen the house of 1000 corpses?
This is the house of 1000 layers. Underneath the sheet rock on both walls & ceilings is WAINSCOTING! typical of the era but holy shit.....actually a pleasant surprise in the reception foyer, but what a bitch elsewhere....Two layers of flooring and have to rip out the ceilings in order to look at the electric and fix the upstairs floors- (and from my un-treined eye the elctric looks like it's from about 1910), and see whats up with the floor joists//// all the cielings on the first floor must come down.....but now I have TWO layers....bastards.
Then I get the boner yesterday to start tearing up the kitchen which isn't a kitchen at all, it's a faker.....so I pull the plastic backplash off, then there is a layer of VYNAL TILE FLOORING, (wtf?) and then a layer of brick veneer and then a layer of sheet rock. Holy mother of god!
So I have these two little kids hanging about, Austin & Tyler, 10 & 7 yrs old. Austin is cool, Tyler typical ADD 7 yr old, just add in mini-redneck. Austin made me brownies this morning - totally nasty - but I ate one anyway just to be nice.....so yuck....but he's pretty cool and hands me my tools when I need them.....my crow bar is my best freind..... lol...random.....anyway...so they are hanging out... Alll the dogs in the south have their BALLS and dog balls are SOOOOO gross. They just run around the nieghborhood and come in the house and are like Hello, I am a dog & I am here. It's ok tho.
So I proceeded to toally rip down half of the reception foyer, and all the molding, and started on the parlor, and today (Sunday) I did a bunch of yard work - Huge yard that is a total wreck I might add, (but found a totally AWESOME grape vine that just needs to be trained and it will be GREAT) and then tackled the rear porch that a bunch of mexicans that were living there closed in to add another bedroom....apparently from the neighbors there were like 20 of them living there.....well they actualy buillt this thing well, with 9 million screws and 10,000 nails and double plywood, etc.... took me about 4 hours and I was sweating like a pig! The little kids were my bug killers - did I mention the fucked up bugs here? HUGE SPIDERS!!!!! We named one spider Herman, but it turns out it's a girl - but she's stuck with it - the most fucking huge spider you have ever seen.
I have about 50 bites on me,,,the mosquitos are about as big as BATS , and vicious, you need to put on bug spray about every 5 minutes....I am not complaining I am SOOOOOO loving this shit!
So tomorrowe we get electric, water and a 30 yard dumpster. I wish I could unload my camera here, you all would shit - and YES, it is SUPER easy to pick up the southern twang - I am damaged for life, I swear.
Tomorrow - rip down wainscotin off the parlor ceiling, take down sheetrock off dining room ceiling, put garabge in dumpster, try to buy a lawn mower second hand that actually works - southern rednecks....do yard work, chop the cemetery, and whatever else grabs me.....I am so fucking tired & loving it!
Hope fully will update tomorrow night If I have not been bitten by some evil bug - oh did I mention that I also got bit by a BEE/WASP/HORNET-THING today?
