It's been a crazy morning already in the last hour it has gone from blue sky to black with wind whiping up the lake to white cap status, to blue sky and then a five minute out burst of rain, back to blue sky again. It just can't make up it's mind if it wants to rain or shine. The lake is back to a calm gentle ripple.
The painter is done and gone, the plumber is not quite done but gone for a while...he'll be back next week. The carpenters are working mostly indoors today, going to hang the doors in the bedrooms etc. But even though it's not the kind of things you can capture in a picture. Got all the hall and entry way and basement painted with what we thought was the same color as the old part of the cabin is....but it's not! So now I can't figure out what to do with the joining room....it needs to be repainted....but what color? So I have to contemplate that...and do some consulting of my kids. Also we ran out of paint for the bathroom...so I'll have to go back and get more of that. The plumber said the shower faucet I bought won't work, so he will take care of that and I will have to take mine back...but the sink faucets will be fine. The plumber also said that the furnace they got won't work with air-conditioning, so that has to be changed too. Can anything go right. When the plumber left on Wednesday he thought everything he had done (connecting the old sewer with the new, and moving the water heater to a new location) was working fine, but we had no hot water....so we asked the contractor if the plumber was coming back yesterday and told him we had no hot water....so he returned and apologized as he thought it was all working fine when he left, but low and behold the thermostat had gone out....wasn't his fault at all. But it was a new water heater last year....so why did it go out so quickly?
Nothing new on the health front. I walked two miles yesterday and the day before....so keeping my strength up. Finished my book, and taking it back home with me so others can borrow it. Have a stack of books to choose from as what to read next....but which one will be the challenge to decide.
Heading home this afternoon, and tomorrow is the Schoenecker family reunion picnic. Looking forward to seeing those cousins on my dad's side of the family. Love and prayers, m
Hang in there! :)
