I ran a bundle of old lathe boards through the planer and polyurethaned them. These will become trim for the upstairs suite at 1403.
When my arms have healed a bit more, I’ll resume work there. Here is my to do list.
properties in general
leftovers
Food leftovers are great, in my book, but sometimes you need an extra fridge to store it all, like a porch fridge with turkey or a beer fridge in the garage.
I have quite a bit of leftover inventory from the latest projects (main, up). The mudroom at 1403 still has a lot of drywall and other material, tools, and equipment to complete the upper suite. Most of the other material is stored at home in the shed. I bought some plastic storage totes from Walmart and organized it all in an inventory list.
leftovers stored
I have enough material left over to start on another suite!
I’ll deal with the smaller things later (bathroom fans, screws, electrical, etc.). In the mean time, here is some stuff still in stock.

I put the refrigerator (Magic Chef) online for sale, but no one even called.
I tried selling the range online for $100. No one wanted it. I dropped it down to $50. A couple of people were interested, but no one came.
I intentionally bought extra flooring tiles as the stairs, mid landing, and entrance for the 1403 upstairs suite are not yet done. I hope it will be enough.
I have no idea what to do with the house wrap. The garage at 1403 is covered in stucco, as is the house. The shed doesn’t need wrap.
As for the waterlines, the house at 1403 was changed over to PEX, and this is the leftovers. Enough to do another suite? Probably not.
Reuse, Recycle, Refuse
Going to the landfill doesn’t always mean that the garbage goes into the landfill. Lots of this refuse is recycled.
This refuse was from the upstairs suite renovations.
Concrete is ground up and used as aggregate for other concrete or fill.
White wood, they call it, is wood that hasn’t been painted. It can be chipped up and used as biomass in garden beds, according to the people at the recycling depot (a.k.a. the dump).
organizing
Today is organizing day. I brought home much of the building materials, supplies, tools, etc. from 1403 and put it in the garage at home. Now comes the sorting, storing, cleaning, throwing away, recycling, and … the big one … inventorying. Why make an inventory? As workdays went on, stuff became less organized and more chaotic, so, when something couldn’t be found, a new one was purchased. This was the case for everything from a box of screws to a laser meter. If only I had stuck to a method of accounting for all of my stuff, my accounting wouldn’t be in such a state.
The upper suite at 1403 is not yet complete, but they are moved in, any my arms are sore, so I will spend the next while organizing.
