THIS AND THAT

SEPTEMBER 27, 2010

While Frank continued cleaning the logs on the outside of the house, I gave the bathroom door and trim another coat of finish. Then it was back to sanding dry wall. I eventually completed the stub wall by the stairs in the great room, the laundry, and our bedroom. Then it was time to paint ceilings--laundry, bedroom, and at the bottom of the stairs.

Meanwhile Frank put the stain and "bug juice" on the outside of the house. We think it really brought out the "character" of the logs. They look great, don't you think?! Notice the roof on the car port.

Frank also took away the ramp we've been using to go in and out of the front door. He built a "stoop" and placed it up against the house. (Did you notice it in the picture above? He sanded the deck on the main floor in anticipation of putting down floor coverings.

Tonya generously gave several hours of her scant "free time" to come down and paint. With her help I finished the painting in the laundry room, our bed room, and the stair well. Our bedroom is in the foreground (dill) with a little of the laundry/pantry showing in the background (canary.) Notice that it actually looks yellow instead of chartreuse. I think the difference is the natural light that comes in the door.

People were here today to connect our TV to "dish," and install our Internet and telephone.

Frank serviced the car in preparation of going to New York to help our son Daron put a new roof on his house. He "practiced" his roofing skills by putting metal roofing on half of the car port. It then decided to rain (or perhaps more correctly mist) all day today, so, instead of roofing, he went to Morgantown, picked up the chimney parts, flooring, and other supplies.

Now we have lots of things to work on. No rest for the weary. But the end is in sight!
