Slight miscalculation.

I helped a buddy move today and I was thinking it would be fairly easy, and really it wasn’t that bad. The best part was the whole crew was from the gym and we’re used to lifting heavy things. Plus the guy moving is a Civil Engineer and has much more practical knowledge and spatial awareness. The thing I didn’t count on is that as a Civil Engineer, he has a lot better (and heavier) furniture than most of the people I’ve helped move in the past. There’s a tradeoff between good, heavy, and large furniture, and cheap, heavy, Ikea furniture. At least the Ikea furniture can be replaced easily if it’s broken. The better stuff can be repaired and restained.

I bought some more things for the house, including more lighting fixtures (floodlights for the back yard). Weird how I can spend hundreds of dollars for indoor lights, and only have to pay $20 for outdoor lights from Home Depot. I was too lazy to put them in, of course, but I did wire up my mom’s Washlet. I didn’t want to do too much before the painters were finished with whatever they’re doing. No need to put things in just to get paint on them.
