Today was a full day, but there is
not much to show for it. Last week
I put clear sealer on the undersides of the stair treads. Today I turned them over to seal the
top sides. There were drips on the
edges. Glitches. So I scraped off the drips on five
treads. The spots looked
terrible. So I sanded them. Not
good. Now those areas were
lighter. Glitches. So I sanded the
entire treads. Then they needed
staining again. But the other treads had two coats of stain making them much
darker. (Which I did not like). So
now do I stain these 5 darker to match the others? Or sand down the seven and re-stain them as well? Yuck.
I put a second coat of sealer on
the handrail, weeded Doc’s vegetables garden, took solar array readings, moved
boxes and cleaned!
I washed down the Master Shower
stall and noticed the top of the tub wall had never been painted! Raw drywall mud. Another Action Item.
Window Washer Brian continued to
clean thresholds, remove window stickers and install bug screens. We tried installing all the new screens
and half of them do not work. I
have made a list and emailed the window rep this evening. Glitches.
At 6 p.m. I finally called it quits
for the day (at least on site).
Stopped at a grocery store to get bananas for Doc and dog food for
Norman. The dog treats were looking
quite appealing to me by that point, so I grabbed a bag of beef jerky to nibble
on. Found a penny in the check out
area. (Coin #1).
Lots of emails and end-of-the-month
stuff for the Penny Palace tonight.
I just assembled a rolling clothing
cart where I can hang things for the next few weeks. Realized the end pieces are on backwards. More
glitches. I plan to take our
current closet bar and shelves to the Penny Palace. My brother made them and they are much nicer than anything
else I’ve seen. (And the price is
right).
Total: 1 Penny
