sidor adventures sidor adventures wednesday april 23 2025 house painting the house has been in need of some siding work since i bought it 2 1 2 years ago i considered re siding it for awhile but the quotes were all high enough to put the idea into fantasy land for me then i thought i could re shingle it myself one small section at a time after mulling the options over i have decided that the best route would be to scrape the shingles even though they aren t in such good shape under the paint and simply paint the house i started scraping the other day and am fairly pleased with the progress so far it s a challenging project takes a lot of physical stamina and i never thought i d actually engage in something that really worked my triceps well i have found the ultimate tricep workout here i think now i just need to perfect the scraping on the parts that do want to stick to the shingles get it all cleaned up primed and pick a new color i never was really fond of that blue as tina pointed out the other day i am obsessive compulsive once i decide to do something i throw myself into it besides scraping and painting my house is really good therapy for me right now posted by erika sidor at

comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest where is my crystal ball i have a lot on my plate and i need to decide which way to go a crystal ball would be great right about now as everyone knows i have told wsc that i am leaving this means i will be entirely supported by what i earn freelancing this means my income will be changing significantly this then means that a bank won t give me a mortgage probably once the wsc job is over so do i sell the house for whatever i can get in the next 2 months and quick find a new house or do i take my time make the payments somehow and stay put and if i am selling the house in the next 2 months it needs to be painted now this paint job will go down in history as one of the longest processes ever i have been using personal and comp time at wsc this week the weather is perfect for this i have to at least try to finish i was up there today on the ladder at the 2nd foor level not as bad as i thought it would be but really i don t feel good up there oh well i am recruiting help chris came today and mark tony and chris are coming tomorrow one good thing that happened with regards to the wsc job and benefits being over is that i no longer need to worry about health insurance i called my ex husband jim and he is happy to put me back on his insurance it was actually the one thing on the divorce decree that as long as neither of us was remarried i was entitled to be on his plan and he is ok with that so all we need to do is submit the request wow that was easy and it will be the exact same plan i am on now nice we are both state employees the next project is the chimney it s a mess posted by erika sidor at 5 41 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest same spot over time november 3 july 20 july 16 june 5 june 2 may 25th may 24th may 22nd above may 20 above i have started priming it i was told not to leave it exposed too long may 9th one side all stripped from the tops of the windows down april 26th april 20th april 18th april 17th april 10th posted by erika sidor at 5 32 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday july 31 2021 now i lay me down to sleep i think the bedroom is viewed as sacred space in america we decorate light candles read articles advising us to keep the tv s and clutter out of that space proper feng shui comes to mind throw pillows color schemes things like that i ve been thinking a lot about bedrooms about personal space about what is comfortable what is normal what is not i have 3 bedrooms in my house and they are all rented out thru airbnb all the time a lot of professionals who come to worcester for internships medical rotations and short term jobs they need a place to sleep and cook a hotel is expensive and doesn t offer you much beyond a dorm sized refrigerator maybe a coffee pot an apartment won t have a lease for someone looking to stay for just 2 or 3 months and usually aren t furnished so airbnb is where these guests go to search for a place i began by renting out one room then two then it occurred to me that i travel so much well pre covid and didn t really need my room so i depersonalized it and moved out of the room 3 years ago where to go though right i split my time between my house and my dads but when i m home i live in the basement it s not a pretty basement it s not a finished basement it s a basement with spiders mice water leaks and exposed piping if the dehumidifier conks out the air changes within hours and plants start growing within days i hear the furnace kick on the washing machine running the toilets flushing i hear the floorboards above my head creaking as guests walk about the house having traveled a bit and living in india for much of the last 14 years i have come to understand that there s so much more to our lives and our spaces mostly i stay in hostels and share bunkbed situations with up to 15 other travelers to save money you share bathrooms kitchens common areas you bring earplugs you do the best you can to get a good nights sleep and then go out to explore every day in india entire families sleep in the same room they lay out modest mattresses in the evening sleep together and then put the mattresses away in the morning so that the room can be used for other purposes it may be the only room they have there is no personal space i am by no means a world traveler i tend to go back to the places i love over and over and over there are so many places i haven t been but i have often thought that our notions of what our homes should be what our lives should be is fairly inflexible in the usa when i first began to shift my house situation sometimes the subject of sharing a house with strangers would come up in conversation i ll admit at first i was opposed to sharing my space at all over time i have seen how sharing space has changed my perspective on a lot of things and that i m not stuck on particular ideas about personal space anymore it s fun sharing my kitchen my yard my home with travelers it s been a freeing experience it s also been a life saving experience the truth is if i hadn t begun renting rooms i would not be able to even afford to live in my own house i m grateful and happy that i gave myself the opportunity to try it s made my life more interesting and more flexible i can t say this approach would work for everyone but it s the best thing for me posted by erika sidor at 9 32 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share

one of the most helpful things that we do on a daily basis is feed the street dogs there are many other responsibilities medical help and scheduling spays and neuters but feeding them is always going to help them mama dogs trying to nurse puppies are skin and bones because it s so stressful for their bodies and there s not much food available on the street i d like to encourage everyone i know to
