UPDATE

Hey, All!

Work progresses! The new windows are all in and are lovely. At some point in the near future, they will get washed and new window treatments will be hung. I've already determined that the new windows block out drafts and sound much better than the old ones. The only unfortunate detail is that these new windows are thicker, and the windowsills are now more narrow. And the furry kids' hineys are not more narrow and when they jump up to look out, they have trouble sitting! We've decided they will have to deal with it. (poor babies)

Jeff, the painter, showed up early this morning and got right to work. We're trying to stay out of the way. I wish my hand was as steady when I paint as his is! The primer is on and covering up the red walls in the living room. What a difference! This is going to be a multiple-day job, but it's going well so far.

The electricians have been here already today and we now have a wonderful new cable and electrical outlet up on the wall in the bedroom so we can hang the TV. I was expecting two separate "outlets" but it's just one with both connections in it. Very neat! I'll let you know how it goes when we mount the TV up there!

Golfer has run to the end of his attempts to get rid of the pesky moles wreaking havoc in our yard and the "molenator" will be here on Monday. Actually the company name is "Critter Control", but we've been calling them "molenator". I'll let you know how that goes. It's to the point where it's hazardous to walk in some areas with the ground so uneven and tunneled.

We got a call from the furniture store; our mattress/box springs and the new lamps will be delivered next Tuesday.

I shifted my work time today to stay here at the house while golfer had a doctor's appointment. Gotta' love flex time!

That's about it from here. Stay safe!
