And just how productive was I?

I was incredibly productive!!!  I almost can't believe it myself but I actually got over 40 pages done!  Though when I say "done" they aren't completely finished.  Most still need titles and journalling, but the layouts are done with photos and papers.  One of these days in the near future I'll finish them all up and embellish a little bit on the ones that need it.  Boy, it really does pay to be organized and have a plan.  Even with having to leave the SDV for a few hours on Saturday to do a demo at Michaels I still got a ton accomplished.

Tuesday afternoon I decided to do a bit of rearranging of furniture in the basement scrap / craft area.  Mainly that meant moving this shelving unit that holds my stamp sets from one wall in the basement to another.  

Unfortunately I won't be doing much crafting or scrapping until mid-week next week.  At the moment this is the view from my craft table.  

When I moved the shelving unit, I uncovered an area of mold growing up the wall.  Luckily the house is still under warranty for mold and water intrusion so the builder is taking care of everything.  Yesterday was an interesting day - doctor appointment in the morning,  catching the cats and locking them in our bedroom, then working with a plumber, the mold remediation guys and then the carpet guy (easy issue with the carpet - an HVAC register was covered by carpet and I found it when painting the living room - that only took twenty minutes to remedy).  Unfortunately the plumber couldn't find the leak so he left,  the wall was completely opened and twenty minutes later the mold guys found the leak.  At that point the plumber was on his way to Jackson - an hour and a half north of here - so he came back late in the afternoon, took care of the leak and the mold guys finished up their day's worth of work.  

The huge dehumidifier is working around the clock in the containment area and the basement smells slightly of bleach, I imagine it's whatever chemical they use to get rid of all the mold - maybe it really is bleach.  The cats are now denied any access to the basement until it's all done,  we expect it to be complete by this Wednesday.  I'm also denying myself access to the basement except for quick trips down to put things away or bring things up, since I don't know what the chemicals are and don't want to be breathing them in any more than I have to.  I have a swap to finish (probably my last swap for a very long time except for a card swap I was convinced to join that is due in March) but that is going to have to wait until everything is done.  Instead I'll be spending the time I'm stuck in the house with the workers finally organizing and finishing up my office so it is usable and my businesses can get off the ground.  Blu Tatstu is evolving, more on that to come in the near future.  Calais Photography is in the works and both will hopefully make it so I don't have to go back to working outside the house - except for teaching Wilton - after the baby comes.
