First Weekend in April



Had a nice weekend, I'm pooped! Need to get to the job to get some rest. Tom works like a dog, too, certainly much harder than I do. He finished the fence and built a beautiful gate into the patio from the front. Looks better than professional, as usual.

Family and friends descended on us, my aunt left late this morning. It was great seeing everybody and everybody enjoyed playing with the minis. It's like a petting zoo around here, and Sprite especially loves the attention.

Tom finished re-installing the crown moulding and replacing the section that was broken and missing, apparently for years. Base boards, too, in the kitchen. it's coming together, slowly. We are planning on eight for Easter dinner, so, o boy. We have to finish sanding the bathroom's mudded drywall and paint that, too.

Last night, after dinner, he installed a new toilet in the upstairs bathroom. We never use that bathroom, the room probably has to be gutted because of the condition of the tub, the walls and the ceiling damaged by the leaking roof. We'll be getting a roof in a couple, three weeks.

This afternoon I walked our road frontage, picked up a tall kitchen trash-bag full of trash (beer bottles, fast food wrappers, cans, plastic cups, plastic and cigarette boxes). What pigs drive past our house! Wasn't long since we last did that.

I also continue to haul bricks, pavers, cement pieces, logs and sticks, plus broken glass, nails, screws, nuts, washers, bolts, rusty metal, old tools, roofing nails and like that from the side of the parking lot where the old shed was located next to the landscaping bins.

Washed and changed the sheets, grocery shopped, mucked stalls, you know, the usual, right?

Everybody is 'in' and it is now lightning, was rain predicted? Supposed to be 75 degrees tomorrow? I welcome that, but would have liked to have been that warm this weekend instead of the 40 degrees and windy.
