Day 22 - Dear Heat, you can not keep my father down - Part 3

Dad was at it again Tuesday. Knocking items off the list here and there.

The Heat was hotter than any other day so far, I was a little worried about how he would handle it, luckily the Central Air is working nicely.

The closet is now 75% completed, may actually get finished Wednesday. Trim was added cleaning up the look. The windows need some touch up and are going to have a frost spray put on them also.

For those who had visited us in Philadelphia prior to 'The Fire', we had a nice LOVE wall picture set on the wall in the living room. We liked it so much that afterward, we used some of the gift card money to purchase a new one. It is now being proudly displayed in the dining room. The template it came with this time was much nicer than the previous one.

Noah wont be walking anytime soon, but as a first time father, I feel compelled to protect and watch out for his safety. I picked out a baby gate, however, it may have been the wrong type for the location. Time will tell.

In the living room, there are no lights of any kind other than the large windows to produce light. This is not an issue until late evenings. Since that will be a location we visit and use often we (Dad and I) were looking to make the lack of light better.

We took the small 44" fan from the nursery and replaced it in the entry way; not only does it produce better lighting, it stirs the air and helps the front of the house that gets the warmest. Do not fret for Noah, has a replacement fan, larger also. As you can see from the picture below, we need a collar yet to hide the existing mark of the light fixture.

Dryer Update: We were unsuccessful in getting the dryer to work without the loud and annoying scraping it was causing. I called Lowe's and spoke to a manager about the situation. Overall result: We were given the rental truck free of charge, however, we had to go get the truck take it home, pick up the defective dryer, bring it back, take the new one home, and then bring the truck back. I only live 1 exit away and it is 3 miles one way (6 round trip). It was a little annoying not to be able to make this once, I had to drive 12 miles to switch out a dryer that we were given damaged. Yes, it could have been worse, and yes, we were fortunate that the new dryer is now flawless. To spend 2 hours driving when the original issue was not your fault and having lack of transportation for a return was a little aggravating to say the least. Water under the bridge.

If you are keeping count of Dad's progress, I think it only fair to mention even though 4 items were completed today, these were 4 more time consuming and no less important then others on the list.

1) Entry way light replaced with ceiling fan
2) Closet trim
3) Baby Gate
4) LOVE pictures hung
5) 1st floor central air vents cleaned/repaired
