Thread: Some home improvements

Tweet

In other fronts, this morning the wife had another doctor's appointment so that meant no one was home and I could get some things done before work finally.

The other night Allyson put a first coat of poly on the floor. I keep telling her to quit trying to force the baby out early but I keep getting told to not worry about it. Uh, ok. So while she was away, I put the 2nd coat of polyurethane on. I think I'll do one more coat and call it good so we can get Izzy's bed in there and everything from her room back in there.

I ran out of caulking a while back so this morning I went to the local hardware store to get some and some other supplies. When I came back I put the ladder up and caulked around the left window, and also caulked all the way around the enclosure we built for it. I walked out in front of the garage to throw some paper towels in the recycling container when I noticed my truck bleeding out. Perfect! At least this truck gives you a warning before you are walking!

I went back to my regular work. I got the caulking put on and painted the window enclosure. Man, I'm going to have to get a taller ladder to do the other painting, finish sealing the RH enclosure, and put the shake shingles on. My ladder is 12' but is too short. I was standing on the 2nd to the last step from the top and stretching as far as I could to caulk and paint the top of the window and enclosure. I don't like heights, and I sure don't like to work like that. This fat kid won't bounce.
