Fridays predicament was getting some things accomplished and then go down below to do a little shopping. I had acquired an outdoor work table or so i think it is an outdoor work table in aqua. This fellow brought it by for me too buy. I should have known when he said he would grab it out of the truck that things weren't going to be that great. He talked my ear off and then left.
I know this color is a hip thing at the moment but not for me. So I moved it to my work area near the garage. That is when i discovered what i had in store for me. Where the long pieces meet their perpendicular companion my hand could go through it. Upset, I decided much like the Six Million Dollar Man, I would build it better then it was. Ok that just gave away my age.
I pulled the bad plank and found two in my reprotoire that I could fill in. There was still a problematic area that was to be filled in with wood putty. So I cut things to jive with one another and then followed with putty. When that finally set, I opted for an indoor outdoor paint, barn red. Standard off the shelf.
So not complete, but will find time this week. Since it needs to go away.
As quickly as I could I moved on to going down the hill to shop. First stop was a Latte from Starbucks by the Outlet mall and off to Target. I spent a good hour and a half shopping, browsing and figuring out what I needed. From there I went to a series of places until I ended up right back at the outlet mall for Pottery Barn. I had eyeballed this Killim rug for the longest time and I was waiting for a sale. Rug in hand I made my way home. Unload, organize, dinner and then out til morning Saturday.
Good Morning Saturday!! Slow start but then I realized we were picking up an armoire and have to demo the closet out. Demo you ask. Yes, this was a makeshift closet that was made from the shower of the original two room cabin. Of coarse I did not wear shoes, safety glasses or gloves. Of coarse I was injured. We got it done, got truck packed for the dump and left. It was a joint effort. Wes would clean and we would demo.
So we picked up the Armoire!!
Got it home, purged a couple bags of clothes and organized. Then we ordered a pizza and called it a day.
Sunday we spent the day doing two different things. I focused on pickups from clients and the BF focused on all around chores. Between working online and getting things done, I realized I was still in my pajamas. I guess I was relaxing in a way. With Cape Fear playing the background and Robert Mitchum being his eerie self, I got off the computer and we decided to take a ride out to an area I have mentioned before, Lockwood Valley.
He was looking for quail, I was looking to relax and maybe collect a few rocks for my landscaping project. I read, listened to music, worked on my phone and eventually Chris returned. No quail but we drove around a little to see if there were any signs of anything. I gathered some rocks and by 5 it was starting to get dark and time for us to come home.
Chris made burgers on the grill, hung out, watched the telly and talked about the weekend. My hands hurt, I have multiple cuts and such from wielding the hammer. But the weekend was a wrap. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day for a little R and R.
So Friday is not a lead in to rest and relaxation, but really the opening of a can of hard working worms.
