Down Time

With the Summer Solstice Party successfully behind us, we are enjoying a few days to inactivity before we dive into remodeling the bathroom.

We have some friends showing up briefly next week and decided that having the bathroom gutted would not be the best way of saying, "Welcome! Come on in. Watch out for nails and loose boards. If ya gotta go, just pee down that hole."

So we are passing the time by doing little things. Last night, I started cleaning up the big pile of lumber in the back yard. I'm going to cut it into smaller lumber and then throw it in the fireplace this winter.

Later in the evening, we started a batch of wine.

Tonight, I will continue with my lumbering efforts and then we are going to put an armoire together that we bought several months ago at the unfinished furniture store. It's in a large, heavy box and needs to be totally assembled, then stained. We put off doing any of this because it was easier to have the box in our way than an unstained armoire. Now that we are finished with the bedroom, we can figure out the color of stain to apply.

So we will continue with our little projects for a few days and after Independance Day, the bathroom will fall.

By the way, if you were wondering how the Summer Solstice Party was, below is a picture of me taken about 1:30 on Sunday Morning. I think it says it all!
