Cold and Rainy

Yesterday was 30 degrees cooler but it didn't help Larry's temper...our special order sink was not done correctly and what should have taken an hour took all day with a trip back to the store to exchange and find a faucet with enough reach into the sink.  The sink was set to far forward so Larry had to modify the cabinet so it would set in and then the faucet holes were back further than any we had any seen and the faucet we had come home with barely reached the bowl...so we went back and fortunately found a faucet with an inch and a quarter more reach and with many ins and outs of the counter/sink he had it installed, but then spent the rest of the afternoon dealing with plumbing that wouldn't seat properly and kept leaking....he was not impressed at all with any aspect of the sink....when he was done it looked great though.

I just worked on organizing and getting more stuff put away...for someone who had gotten rid of a LOT of stuff I still have a lot.  It is taking some time to get my books, yarn, art supplies and crackle glass collection sorted out and put away.  I put shelves in half of my art room closet...bruised the heck out of the palm of my hand using it for a hammer...won't do that again, but the plastic shelves assembled pretty easily and are going to be just the ticket.  We have also been working on getting our walk in closet organized...

Today it rained some more...actually enough to drip off of things.  Larry worked out in his shed getting it organized and wired most all day.  He didn't want to be tracking mud in and out of the house all day.  Plus the silicone adhesive he used on the sink yesterday still stunk to high heaven.  I was in and out a bit, got most of the pantry stuff put away, clothes in the closet out of storage bags and talked on the phone a few hours catching up with my girls and friend Mary.

We might go furniture shopping tomorrow...need to find a computer desk, and maybe another book case and storage unit of some kind.  I want to find a nice storage ottoman, an entry table (which Larry thinks is useless) and a chaise or cushy chair ottoman combo for reading and needlework.  Then one of these days I need to get some stuff on the walls but I want to wait until we get what other furniture pieces in so we don't have to move them and patch holes.

We have company coming on the weekend...we'll get to relax finally for a couple days and play, that will be nice.

The bright gold patch above the satellite dish is the weed area I bushwhacked the other day.
