The ceiling is white, the walls are brown and the floor is started. We have about 20% of the floor down but have hit a bump when trying to figure out how to piece it around the door way where it meets the carpet. I think Fred will sleep on it and wake up with a plan. My plan is to head to Ames tomorrow to go to Target and Sam’s. He needs to go to Menard's for trim wood and liquid nails. I need to get a watch battery and chocolate milk. The important stuff, you know?
Fred put in about 11 hours today on the basement. Looking at the walls they need some touch-ups. I painted the wall in the Jr. Man Cave with primer and that is all we are doing. I can get busy putting that room back together tomorrow. Of course everything is covered in dust so I will need to wipe everything down with a wet rag as I put it back in place. I am also hoping to purge some more of the boys’ toys so it doesn’t look so cluttered. I hope they don’t fight me too hard.
You know how when you do home improvement projects your hubby always needs a new tool? Well, I talked Fred into buying a table saw to get the flooring cuts done quickly. He has wanted one of these on and off for a couple of years at least. We bought a Craftsman at the little Sears store in M-town and we are rockin. I am glad we bought it and I am certain it will be used many more times. He is such a do-it-yourselfer (aka tightwad).
Well, I am beat from trying to be supportive and attentive and helpful. I did paint some and lay some floor and ran to the hardware store and Sears. I may not have done as much as Fred but I did my part for sure.
