i got the grout finished today, and while it still needs to be sealed, it's looking quite fine if i do say so myself.
minor triumph of the day:
- cherries from our trees! yellow ones, red ones, pie cherries, sweet cherries...mmmm. this is why i planted those trees back in 1999. they're huge now and provide lots and lots of fruit. we won't be here when the apples and pears are ripe, but it looks like there'll be quite a few.
- challenge of the day:
putting wood filler into the cracks on the hardwood floors after my spreader-thingy broke. ended up doing the rest of the job with a spreader so small, i could've done as good a job with a butter knife.
- excitement of the day:
marc waving a lit torch around as he used it to disconnect the old bathtub faucets
- departure of the day
the old fridge and stove are both gone. the stove had been out in front of the house for a week or so. it finally disappeared. we credit the stove fairy (a demented and larger relative of the tooth fairy, that takes away old decayed stoves when houses no longer need them, leaving empty beer bottles in their place).
we're leaving the fridge out to see what happens. we're hoping for full beer bottles at least.
