CARRYING ON--SOLO

AUGUST 23, 2010

Frank has carried on solo again this week. I have wandered around, pulled a few weeds, helped with some meals, laundry, and cleaning, but nothing much. No energy.

Frank put gutters over the deck end of the house, and the car port end. Notice the second stack of dry wall under the car port.























Frank finished dry wall in the mechanical room. He decided to redo the chimney chase on both floors. Now they both have metal studs with cement board in front. That will enable us to put our wood stoves much closer to the wall. This picture was taken before the cement board was put on.





















He brought the dry wall around the stairwell, up the steps......
























and around the top of the steps, including the outside wall of the study.




















He has also done a couple outside walls of the bathroom. Notice the cement board in front of the chimney chase.





Frank had a break from his "solo" work when Clair and Pat Mast stopped by on Friday on their way home from visiting their daughter. Clair helped Frank with a couple sheets of dry wall, and Pat did some cleaning up. Then we all went out for supper. Many thanks, Clair and Pat!

Today Frank and I went a little beyond Uniontown to pick up John's trailer. He left it there and brought his "new" mower home on a borrowed trailer on Saturday. Then we drove across the panhandle of WV, and Frank picked up another (#4) Cub Cadet. It is now the newest he has, but needs lots of TLC before it can be used. Do you think he is afraid of running out of things to do?
