addendum
- jb discovered some heat damage to beams in the crawlspace. this is very mysterious because there is no source of heat in that area, and the old oil tank wasn't on that side of the house. was there a fire? some other source of heat there at one time?
- of course, now the basement floor is dryer than it has been in a year. i think this is the time of year when it really dries out-- maybe the heat + the dehumidifier is particularly effective. i'm not saying that it's actually dry, mind you. just... more dry.
- i think yesterday was an exercise in how much of home renovation is mental. i really over-estimated the scale of the project. it just seemed insurmountable to me-- and in reality, i think it took maybe an hour. having done it, i feel much more in charge of the situation. hopefully, i'll be tackling my own crap pile that looms down there (which is all small stuff that i can throw in my green trash bin-- doesn't need a special pickup by the city).
