So I appear to have a squirrel-free house now. A leak-free one, too. With these improvements I am now able to fix the drop-ceiling tiles in the upstairs bathroom and the laundry room. I'll be able to finally bring the rooms back to life. I hope to have the ceiling tiles up within 2 weeks.

I also have a call in to have drywall patching done so I can get the dining room re-painted.

Today, I had a helping hand From Debby and her son, Josh. We itemized all the clothing I'm donating so I can claim it as a tax deduction. Then.................. we cataloged all the baseball card sets. I won't post that list here because I don't want my house ransacked. BUT, I will tell you that they span 4 decades. I gotta start researching now and find a buyer. I'm told that finding a buyer is already in the works, but I need something to happen sooner than later. I'm glad that I have made as much progress as I have over the past couple weeks and what I will get accomplished in the near future.

It's a step forward, but it's not yet a cure.
