Paint prep at B's

It was a busy day especially for a Sunday. I was up and put the kettle on for tea  and fed H. S made his coffee as I got dressed and met the gal in the garage at 9:30 to pick up the night stands. 

Once they were loaded and on their way I did more garage organizing then, glue yet another part on the table leaf then had S help me carry in the table top to set in place on top of the pedestals I hauled in last night after vacuuming the floor. He continued the rest of the great room while it was out and I sanding and wiped it and added a coat of cappuccino wanting to warm the top up. It looks perfect once done.

The top looks too light though so on to plan D

I also had him help me carry the desk down stairs and stuff a memory foam back into its washed cover. He then set off in the ranger to scout for coyotes. I got started scraping but finish was to intact so put  stripper on the table leaf.

While it sat penetrating the meat/paint/food/jar lady arrived to pick up a case of the jars plus all the huge pickle jars I had saved for projects and little jam ones. We were visiting when S walked back into the yard for the truck to go pull the ranger out of a snow bank at the back gate. He loaded H up and took along to pull it out and back then walk back for the ranger. H was a no go for this leg of the journey.

I was back inside once the gal was off stripping the leaf and I was scrubbing it up when B and Coop arrived after 1. I dried it and left to dry well and came in to make S and I spinach salads for a late lunch. He was watching the Flames game that started at 1 pm. I grabbed some sanding paper, snacks and a drink and jumped into B's car where she had the dogs loaded up. We headed to their new place to prep for more painting tomorrow. The dogs were excited to see the 2 great danes that live at the big house thru the windows as we cleaned and taped off the baseboards. More light/outlet covers were removed and cupboards wiped but be darned if I did not think to bring wood filler for all the screw holes in the wall.

The pups visit thru the screen door, and most of the snow is gone out there

The baseboards are all taped off ready to paint

Taking off the covers reveals allot of crud!

We headed home at 5:30 stopping for a tea as we passed thru the city. S had a delicious spaghetti supper waiting for us. After the Flames won this afternoon, he ran to Chestermere to pick up a concert ticket/hotel package I found us. I fed H quick before we ate. After B ate then she and Coop headed home to pack more and see Gully and feed Coop of course. I divided up more food dishes for H then caught up the blog for today as S had more hockey going. Once the OT game ended we went out for a hot tub which felt great. I showered, bit more computer work then into bed to read. I quit another book I started and don't like even though Sharon recommended, finished My Hygge Home while S watched yet another hockey game having now moved into bed to watch the end.
