Monday I got busy sanding the old window frames and moved inside. Then staged the faucet hooks and stools after waxing. The stools look good with the black wax added giving more depth.

I headed to the city around 3 giving myself time to stop at a few of my favorite stops. Restore had nothing ;-(, Home Sense had a couple items of interest for my home, 2 pottery dishes were scored at the thrift store and Costco had some stock supplies and new duds. I stopped at the over priced Value Village where I found some items for Gail and her jewelry business and one frame.

Shaina's 6 pm flight had been delayed half hour so changed customer meet at the cell lot to 6:30. They were in time and merrily took off with there new black ends tables. I started my wait, and waited and waited....finally Shaina arrived about 2 hours after the original scheduled arrival time. Load her up and off to Edo for a yummy meal then off home. On the way down #1 we met an accident detour taking us on a gravel back road route. I never heard what happened but it was a long line. We got home around 10:30 where Britt was getting home from working after school. Shaina showed us all her treasures she won or was given from the USA clubs and shared more stories.

Tuesday I spent the part of the day burning out my nasal passages spraying the old windows with a bleach solution to help combat mold. ICK that was a smelly project that affected me for a few days. Shaina packed up all her treasures getting ready to officially move out.
my carrots are growing yay!
Sheldon arrived home just in time for supper joining Shaina and I, Britt worked yet again after school. After supper Shaina headed off while Sheldon and I searched the trees for any signs of critters. I did find scat that seemed odd. He put out a bale for the horses then we started season 4 of Sons of Anarchy.

Wednesday time to get busy. After the traditional coffee start Sheldon moved bales to prepare to finish up the last discing along my grass ditches and delivered bales to a customer. A lady stopped for vanity I sold as is while I spent many hours sorting and moving furniture, even posting some of the less desirable pieces on the bidding site. Shaina was back out to return clothes not fitting in her new room and help load her bed. She was then off to town to babysit Paetz children. Sheldon and I dropped her bed and mirror off at new place hitting rush hour and taking over an hour and a half to get to the new house. It is a nice little place, check it out if in town. It was then on to meet Craig and Amanda at the Jubilee for Investors Group comedy night. Good chuckles were had, the girls swapped off sitting the kids. Shaina was back home spending the night to work in the morning. Britt gave away her work shift today to work on laundry and help sit and was home a bit after us.
Thursday was finish the bookcase day with paint and poly. I had a customer stop for the end table auction, then the bidding site dresser and geometric table and as I was cooking up veggies for supper the vintage desk winner arrived. Good day to move furniture! It was sunny so I did sanding on yet another funky end table outside.
I also worked on this treasure.. thinking easy just remove old dried flowers and repaint.. well after many hours of scraping and picking, a huge blood blister and even melting the dang thing in the oven I FINALLY got the darn hot glue off.
Sheldons tasks were load bales for another customer then started tractor oil change. It was then off to town for acupuncture and fuel pick up. Once back he finished oil change and started the discing finishing up at dark. It was finally time to enjoy the steak and fresh veggies. Britt was off to a friends after her 9 pm shift ended but was home just after midnight!
