Wish I Was Taller

October 7th, 2006 at 11:09 pm

If I had another 6" or so, I wouldn't have had to climb up and down the ladder so many times today! But, drat.........I'm getting shorter all the time. So, up and down I went all day.

I do feel like I had a work out while I was getting shed #1 completed. TA DA. ALL DONE. Even the trim. My arms, shoulders and legs all feel USED. Not used up, but definately used. I quit early today.....there is an easy shed to do tomorrow, no windows, and a sliding door set up, so no cutting in whatsoever. I'll tackle it the next dry day, which may not be tomorrow as I look at the weather report.

The Navy man has torn out some tacky looking wainscoating in my kitchen. Fed the burn pile with it straight away. Even not finished, the kitchen looks so much better! Can't wait til he starts working on the sheet rock and the window trim projects. Then, I can paint all winter indoors! Oh, to get some color in my world here........

I've received a handful of responses to my Craigslist ad re; starting a knitting drop in group. Now, I just need to grab one of them, pick a day and START.

I did get a new customer in this AM; she will be a regular. The potential tenant for the extra room is an absolute no go. After speaking to him about his dogs, he continued to let them romp through my gardens. I love dogs, but just like kids, I like them lots better when they behave!

It's another No Spend Day here; I did have random thoughts of calling the painter & having him come back to finish the sheds....but I resisted. Saving money is hard work around here!

    I am 6'6" and I can assure you that being taller is not necessarily better especially when you go to buy clothes!Smile

    Sounds like you and I have the same schedule for winter! I have to paint the entry--had to pull out the wallpaper due to hurricane--and once you get started....I have to repaint woodwork, then go on into the hallway, then......you get the picture. It's been put off cos it is going to take all my time. But it will be nice to get done. Wish I had your energy and drive!

    Wow! Glad you are getting so much accomplished. It will make hunkering down for the winter so much more satisfying!
