girls head to Van

Lex needed out at 4:45, Britt was off at 6:45 and I was awake at 7:45 for the day. K was ready with her bags packed and after hugs to Lex and I was out the door after 8 for her 9 am shift. Her and Shaina leave for Vancouver for 4 days tonight. She is very excited, Have fun girls.

I perused Instagram till about 9 when I went to make coffee but the Prince awoke to make it too. I worked on the bench hauling it out to sand. Plants needed watering as it is a cooler morning but things are dry. I got more water going. Prince came out to start work on cleaning out his truck. This took many hours for his detailing service.

The bench had a wobble so the carpenter and I shortened a leg and I planed the legs smooth and finished sealing it with 2 coats of poly then detailed in black wax.

Shaina started her day off late around noon with a toad in the hole and started laundry. She was packed up and read to head to the city before 3. I followed soon after heading to the customer with the grey chair that needed dropping off and the first dresser I did for her have the top waxed to match the rest. I got their new house tour, lovely. Sheldon was off to town to running errands.. AKA buying more tools I bet ;)

Once back I worked on finishing the dresser blog post but it cannot go live until September as a brand blog. Time to tidy the garage and get my next project. I went with a wood chair; it had loose legs and after lots of screw removal and trying to hammer apart I ended up splitting the solid wood seat at a seam.. sheesh. So the next hour was spent gluing and clamping it back together.

I cooked up sausage and perogies with ceasar salad for supper. Britt was sacked after work so once ate, headed to her room. I went back out and scrubbed up the wooden canister set Mom gave me for my birthday. Time then to work on a Hometalk post and the blog. Kaylin text at 10 they had a good flight and were on the sky train to Megan's (Michael cousin) house, thanks lovey for letting us know.
