11th July Friday
It did rain last night, maybe a cupful, but by the time we awoke the humidity was back. So instead of it being a bit cooler/ fresher it was the same heavy, energy sapping experience.
However it was going to be a good day, I was keen to get the baby changing station ready for Kelli and her spray gun to do her job.
I was getting ready to meet with Megan, the lady who wants the kitchen island. I had printed out a variety of different options to choose from. I went from the full Monty to bared back open style. I had priced the full one, because that was what I believed she would want.
I was correct, the full Monty was chosen, there wasn’t any problem with the quote, which I had loaded with every bell and whistles.
Now I have to deliver a master piece, well she still wants all the character of the old door including the old lock and all its scars. I’m not sure I agree with that, but she’s the customer.
As soon as she left, I made a start. The first task is to strip off all the layers of lead paint. The stripper I had was crap, I spread it on thick and waited an age, nothing bubbled up, total rubbish. If I had to rely on that brand I would be working on it for a month.
There was drama in the Avenue, that I didn’t witness even though I was outside painting drawer fronts.
Apparently a car drove down the road, stopped at the mail box over at Jeep man’s house, someone got out, and kicked it over.
And I missed all of it.
Larry who was out cutting his lawn saw the whole thing. There wasn’t any a lot of action happening, the police turned up, probably took pictures of the box in its new position.
The lady who lives in the house came over to speak with Kelli, wow! She did have a loud voice.
Another Lifetime to go
