WOW.....I almost feel like a human today. No headache from sinuses!!! No facial aches!!! HURRAY!!!!! Oh sure....there is a bit of a cold that has taken its place, but I can handle that.......what a relief!
The work crew was here by 7:30 this morning.....and before long the air compressor was filling the house with such a horrendous volume of cacophony that even my coffee was sloshing about in my cup from the vibrations. But....it didn't last too long and it was soon replaced by the nail gun, saws, and some hammering as they removed and replaced the bedroom windows.....and then replaced the huge 7x5 foot window which looks out onto the back patio, even though this is actually in the second stage of our project. The seal between the panes of this large window had somehow ruptured and so for the past many months it looked like it was a frosted pane......nothing could be seen through it! Now......WOW...it is soooooooooo nice to be able to look out onto the patio and the back lawn, even though it looks rather brown and barren at this point in time.
The new doors in the rooms are in place, the recessed lights are in place, and most of the drywalling has been completely sanded and finished......ready for the 1st Lady and I to do the artistic job......paint them. Tomorrow we are going to paint the baseboards, the door moldings, etc., etc before they are to be put in place on Monday. Rather anxious to get in there and do a bit myself.....JUST abit!!
After the painting task is finished, we then have to pick up our oldest granddaughter in Park Hills where her other grandfather will meet us so she can spend the night with us. We will be going to the H.S. girl's state quarterfinals for basketball........F'town's girls are playing against a St Louis private school. The winner will advance to the Mo State Finals for girls BB next weekend.
This evening the 1st Lady and I dashed to Farmington to see if we could make a decision on the vanity top.....marble?? granite?? solid surface??? We need to select the vanity top and get the tile flooring picked out so that it will have some senseof coordination. Beginning to think we never will!!!!!! DAMN!!!!!!!!!!
Couldn't believe that Lowe's would NOT have some brushed nickel door (handle) levers.....don't want to complain toooo much, but pisses me off that I have to run into STL just get the items I need. We are headed that way Sunday when we take Rachel back up there, so guess it will be an afternoon of shopping. We need to start looking for new bedroom furniture, also.
After all of our looking we headed to a local Mexicano restaurant for a couple of Margheritas and some authentic Mexicano cuisine......yummmmm!! As usual, it was full, however, the wait was only about 25 minutes.....not too bad for a Friday evening. LOVE that south of the border food!!!!!!
Sooooo, another busy one is gone.....and the weekend predictions are BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!!!!! Ahhhhh, the life of a retired band director......no rest for the wicked!!!! Sure fit that category...... But no matter how busy,
Life is Great.......and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!
