This weekend and new tracking come March 1st

February 25th, 2010 at 03:47 pm

On March 1st, since it is the start of a new month I will start tracking food spending. This I hope will allow me to get a real look at what we are spending on food.

I also want to track gasoline usage.

I am hoping that this weekend we will be able to do some furnature movement which will mean that I can clean up the house. When we reset up the office or family room I want to make an area to work so I can start posting items for sale on our towns free online classified listing.

Taxes!! I also want to sit down once the office or family room is set up and gather up all the tax forms and file our taxes.

See we textured and painted the ceilings in our basement and everything that was in the basement is piled in the livingroom upstairs and it is a nightmare. This weekend we hope to caulk the seams, paint the seams then clean up from the mess (Paper, painter plastic) wash floors and move furnature.

We are hoping to put our house on the market, Sell it, then rent an apartment for less and save the difference.

Lots of things to do this weekend and then hopefully start March 1st tracking expenses!

    Well this weekend was a bust, the seams got caulked and in the light of day....The ceilings need another coat. Because this fact drives my husband to anger, I deside to do it LATE Saturday evening while he is out with the boys.

    I run out of paint half way through which makes me a little angry because I wanted to buy more paint originally but my husband swore up and down we would not need more than 3 gallons and I was nuts for wanting to pick up a five gallon bucket.

    Well Sunday I go down to grab the empty paint can so we can match more paint and WHAT is with the wall....The paint I got color matched dried a different color so where I went over the caulking was a light tan color on top of the off White walls.

    We went and got the new paint but after 7 hours of painting all the seams, painting the ceilings in the office, half the livingroom and touoching up wall smudges with the wrong color; I am in no shape to paint on Sunday. It is amazing what a workout it is climbing up and down a small ladder to paint a ceiling can be.

    Because of this the Family room downstair could not be set up so our kitchen table is still computer central and to messy for me to be able to break out the tax forms. So Taxes will have to wait two weeks as I work this weekend.

    Bought the doors and wood for the closets and the bill came to $500. Ouch I had saved $1000 for supplies to finish the basement but I really had not thought we would come near it.
