House update: Thursday

[electricland]

My aunt reports:

Today for lunch, John and I had submarine sandwiches in the
garden where the cardinals are cruising waiting for the grapes to get
bigger. John asked me to water the grapes yesterday so the cardinals
wouldn't be disappointed.

John continued work on the base cabinets in Jen's kitchen. Today for the
first time he used a compass (geometry type) as a scribe to mark the cut
for an uneven floor (bump between kitchen and living room) into a
horizontal board. He was very pleased.

William worked on windows.
Cheers, Helen

Had drinks and what turned into dinner with
M-from-Montreal last night, then brought her over to look at the house; no
sooner had we started upstairs than there was a banging on the door, which
turned out to be Z, followed by S+F, followed by monkeycommando, who had all happened to be passing in the car.
They were all MOST complimentary, which was nice. Still have to get a
shower working.

they had an article today in the New York Times house & home section about how often people are having affairs with their contractors - this whole thing about how you spend weeks & weeks with this person in your house almost as much as you are, and it would seem an anonymous poll revealed a large number of suburban housewives are, shall we say, indulging in some bonus services.

Thought of you.

Laughed a bunch.

do you live there yet, or what? and what ARE your colors? huh? ;)

*thwaps you*

NOOOOOO.

Not living there yet, but really just waiting for some way to bathe or shower (and for William to be gone, because he kind of spreads out).

My colours are: Pot-Pourri Green (fairly bright apple-y green) in the kitchen; Aquarium Blue in the bathroom; undecided in the dining room, but probably something fairly neutral with possibly a dark red wall just 'cause; Mill Springs Blue (muted bluey-green) in the living room; and Wyndham Cream everywhere else. I think they're delightful.
