My two housemates are in, but I’ll be staying at home until I finish work. Things weren’t quite how I remembered them from when Jon and I first looked at the house; it now pretty clearly has water issues in the basement, and some pretty nasty mold as a complication. The landlord is going to be doing a health evaluation(!) after we pointed it out to the guy doing the check-in walkthrough. That’s pretty much shot our plans for a woodshop in the basement, and introduces some potential problems. We’ve got a nice deep garage, though, and I plan to make good use of it. Speaking of the car, the transmission is doing much better now that the Pennzoil Synchromesh I put in a couple of weeks ago has broken in, and the buzz I thought was coming from the shifter turned out to be the previous owner’s ghetto stereo mount. Little things, but I feel better. I’m going to tackle rust repair sometime soon.
