Day 849 started as a cloudy cool day with no sun till nearly 3 pm. After a relaxing coffee and baileys in bed with our tablets, Sheldon and I decided to get moving. I went and mowed the weeds, as that is all that is growing in this recent heat with no rain spell. And the weeds happen to be in dirt areas so it was a horrid dusty job :-(. Sheldon started to put the stairs up off the big deck area.
I then headed to my shop and waxed table legs before having lunch. After lunch and getting the girls up (after 12:30!!) I went out and hand painted a border on my gifts. Again the coffee seems to add an element to hand painting if not hard enough on its own! Britt took Mitzy outside for a bit of fresh air and it was not long before she had a mouse. This is why we invested $285 in this kitty, she is a great mouser!! and I HATE mice!!
Shaina got ready for work at 2, Sheldon finished up the stairs and figured how much more we need to finish the big seating area. We were going to screen it in but after a quote of $5000 we decided it might be far in the future, HA. He installed a couple exterior outlet bubble covers finally, the kind you can leave cords plugged in. He also checked the dreaded septic filter!
Today is my baby sister Amanda's birthday, happy birthday pretty woman!!
I was back in the shop, waxing and polishing legs, signs and such before moving the new table in and assembling. I love it. This is fun getting a new table every few months. Sheldon helped after enjoying multiple beers, a reward for his hard work the last few days he claims!
A regular customer was back for a couple bales just after 5:30, right when some glorious rain came. It was not much but it was sure welcome. I am such a perfectionist I had to sand the new table edges and the top of the end table and poly another coat.
Britt, Sheldon and I had a yummy late sausage supper, Kaylin was planning to possibly come out and stay as she has a wedding in the am but was not feeling well so we saved her some sausage. Britt went to town around 7 to celebrate Brooke's birthday and have a sleepover. We enjoyed a relaxing night playing games on our tablets, watching football and just kicking back. Shaina did not get home until 2:30 am after a very long 12 hour work shift.
