Mo Mo Flo

 We are concluding a highly productive weekend.

It started on Friday when we took a one day trip to Prosser and back to get some grapes. We bought 100 pounds of Malbec from Chad O’Brien of O’Brien Brothers farms. We paid $120.00.

We left at 9:00 on Friday morning and arrived at the farm at 11:30. It took us a little time to find the pick up spot. I had gps coordinates, not an address, and my gps does not accommodate latitude and longitude very well.

We were very close but when you end up in an ocean of grape vines, very close is not close enough.

After the grapes, we drove to Prosser to have lunch at a great little Mexican restaurant we found called Las Islas.

With our cargo secured, we returned to Spokane in time for a short break before working at V du V winery. It was a very slow night but we manned the bar while my friend and owner, John jammed with a couple of musical friends.

We had planned to meet with Shaun on Thursday night to continue working on the floor. Shaun never showed up. He didn’t text us or call us or notify us in any way that he wasn’t coming.

We decided that we should not rely on Shaun, which may be what he had in mind.

So we got to work on the kitchen floor on Saturday morning.

Most of the floor was done. We had to work from the island toward the sink, which also includes the pantry.

Here are the results of our work on Saturday and Sunday.



We had quite a few intricate cuts to make and we did a pretty good job. I only screwed up three boards to the point where they are useless. 

We are going to attempt to finish tomorrow. It’s going to be very close as far as the total number of boards we need.

I’ll let you know here when it’s all wrapped up.
