What an exhausting 13 hour work day yesterday. I worked my regular 8 hours. My lunch hour was spent staining tongue and groove boards. Then I got started staining again at 4:30. Took a break to make sandwiches for dinner, got back at it and it was 8:20 by the time I got to go sit down in the house. DH said he likes his new "painter lady" much better than the one we had building the shop and house, LOL. I said after doing this for days, I can see why she's a little nuts ;)
I had a new buddy while working
This is our neighbors down at the end of the street's dog. He's still basically a goofy puppy, but he got hot and tired, so took a nap for about half an hour. Finally, his mom texted dh and the other neighbor to ask if we've seen her dumb dog (her words), so dh texted her this picture back. She came down and got him, LOL. She has a cute little baby bump started.
This is the loft area DH has been building
He has 2 leftover recessed lights he will put in those 2 openings. Then the top above will be plywood sheets, which I will just paint with some leftover white paint we have, just to seal it all. First today, though, he has to get the lawn mowed. It's gotten super long all of a sudden.
Our flooring we ordered to finish putting up in the bonus room is ready to be picked up. I couldn't remember what is cost per box and didn't feel like digging through the paperwork, so I just budgeted $400, but the bill will come to $293, so that is good. I was just going to wait until next Wednesday to pick it up, when I have to take my mom in to get her ID card, but I think I might just do it tomorrow, about 4pm. I need to get groceries, return something to Lowes and Target and don't really want to deal with all that on Wednesday, too. Especially the grocery pickup, as I really have no idea what time I can schedule it for on Wednesday, since I don't know how long the ID card appointment will take. The flooring place is only open M-F until 5:30, so I can't do it Saturday morning.
It's cooling down today, Yay. 83 and in the 70's tomorrow and Saturday. It ended up at 97 yesterday.
I am guessing you will be doing all the painting from now on. Lol!
ReplyDeleteand I really hate painting, too, LOL. I don't mind it as much when it's like pieces on sawhorses or the work bench, but I hate doing it in room/walls.
DeleteSorry but if you hate painting and work full time I would hand that back to hubby, (you say he needs to have things to keep busy)...... even if it's not his favorite. (Cause it's not yours either ha! ).
DeleteMostly I hate painting rooms. Flat boards on a bench are ok. I don't mind helping once in awhile, I don't have to too often, and he worked on it all longer than I did yesterday. Today he's been doing all the laundry and all the yard work. While I was staining (they dry pretty quick and he puts up a tad wet anyway, LOL) he was able to keep moving forward with the project. What I wished I had done was download an audio book and listened while I stained :)
DeleteYou guys obviously know what you're doing. That looks nice even unfinished.
ReplyDeleteAny eggs today?
I love that doggie taking a break.:)
No eggs yet today, almost 11am - slackers! He's a cute dog, but usually totally hyper, LOL
Deleteok, 3 eggs layed in the last hour or so :)
DeleteSo you're not quitting the new painting gig just yet? What is the pay rate for painting for DH? :p
ReplyDeleteI think I'm gonna have him owe me ;)
DeleteHahaha, the best kind of pay!
