Not So Protective Tape

The brass keeper bars for the stair runner arrived last night. I didn't even bother opening the package yet. We had a family dining event to attend so there was no time. I'll bust it open tonight and inspect the contents. Or not!

In the meantime, we have removed the protective tape from around the balusters and discovered it wasn't terribly protective. We have some touch up to do. In some cases it is just a little scraping but in a few instances, some mineral spirits or similar chemical will be required.

Beyond that, we've just been trying to stay cool during the hot August dog days of Summer.

The real tough thing to keep up with is the lawn watering. You can't neglect it or you're toast.

We watched two fairly young skunks cavort about the yard last night. I think that is all we've got. I have been feeding them hot dogs in order to introduce them to the fabulous flavor and make them crave it.

Traps to come!
