The balls are beginning to roll....
Jul. 31st, 2015 08:48 am(or maybe we're just finding the ducks?) Whatever.
Yesterday, the kids and I (heh. "kids" 18 & 23) went into town, and visited the lumberyard and the flooring store. The lumberyard is now preparing a couple of quotes for a kitchen cabinet and a new countertop for the island, and the flooring store is preparing a quote for the kitchen & dining room. (The floor in the laundry room is getting replaced, too, but that's going to be good sheet vinyl.)
Also yesterday, taking advantage of the lovely weather, J went up on the roof and replaced the sheathing and the shingles on the porch roof -- it was just tacked on (not very well) to the house roof, and 20 years ago we'd pulled it away a bit while we were putting the posts in, and the roof was sagging and leaking. The shingles don't quite match, but the entire roof is going to be replaced sometime in the next five years anyway.
I finally finished weeding the strawberries, and filled up the cart with weeds and trimmings from the E flowerbed (the one that looks like an English cottage garden). I hear that the chicken broil decorating committee may be stopping by to cut flowers on Saturday morning. It's possible that all they'll get is Queen Anne's Lace, as there's mostly buds and greenery in the gardens right now.
The counting of the froggies is nine!
