Text of the page (random words):
me chain to hang the ladders from the rafters the old door that dj and i had taken down between the kitchen and laundry room is now a work table hinged to a side wall he put some vinyl tile on the top of it yesterday and added some trim and it looks pretty cool he moved and re organized the shelving units and put up a wire shelf unit that dj had never mounted it now holds a couple cord reels and a few more items all the weed eaters are mounted on the other side wall too there is still some tossing to be done and a surplus of nails found a new home at a friend s house who has a building project coming up but it is looking up the cat carrier you see below is only in a temporary home at this point we replaced the rickety sawhorses this past weekend when harbor freight had them about 40 bucks cheaper than we had priced at lowe s you would not believe how much cleaner and open this space looks like already oh that yellow roll of batting is out of there now too as i ve got it in my car to run down to the church next week he needs to see if the two compressors we have in this heap still work and the old kitchen chair back needs dismantled for parts charles at work organizing the shelves but you can see the ladder things he rigged up in this shot turns out that ours was not the only shed we had to worry about this sunday his son or daughter in law called and the hot water heater had been tripping off repeatedly for a 24 hr period also it had been raining quite heavily windy too and a roof leak problem had returned charles went out to see if he could fix the problem i know he cleaned out the gutters a bit and checked into the breaker situation while he was there being an intermittent problem they would have to continue to monitor it while he was there a pine tree uprooted and sheared the wiring from jeff s mechanic shed but hit the other one that he and charles shared i was just grateful that he was not out in it at the time as he was headed that way for some of his electrical supplies the one that got hit sort of sits at right angles to other one and the tree went through the left hand third of the building raising the roof it missed his big riding mower and all of his electronic equipment and toys but bent the tar out of his shelving there is a motorcycle and tiller under all this mess among other things i went out to help clear things out and see what we could selvage the insurance adjuster is due out tomorrow morning but he and jeff were allowed to remove what was not damaged with orders to keep away from the damaged areas charles was able to store several wagon loads of stuff in his old apartment downstairs in the house some stuff got tossed as it was wet or no longer needed some stuff came back here with us as he sets up some shop area here that wire shelving unit you see against the wall in one of the pictures of our shed above got mounted and nicely holds his electronic course books it is shaping up in between wendell dropped off a length of leather for the treadle machine so that is now fixed though i have not had a chance to sit down and try it he also started drilling out the bush stumps so they can be treated with stump rid product the battery packs both died or he might have gotten a bit further this afternoon lol we had the pleasure of meeting his cousin jim and his wife rosemary a week ago wednesday they were up from ocala fl and doing some geneology work near here but on the georgia side of the state line jim suggested meeting up in oxford for lunch near the exchange then we all went out through cleburne county and a church cemetery where their mutual great grandfather or was it their grandfather is buried along with some other relatives i believe they plan to come up for the wedding we were finally able to meet with the pastor a week ago sunday and tour the fellowship hall we will be using for the reception discuss what we wanted to do for vows etc there are several options for the bride dressing rooms and other logistical things explained that will help us get the supplies and such we need charles is afraid to use the linen table cloths so i think we will be making a trip out to sam s for disposable table cover once we get a linear measurement of the tables after church next sunday lol i went shopping yesterday after the belles meeting for some of the things we will be needing but still need to go for some of the punch ingredients charles oldest son and daughter in law will be helping with the reception and providing the bride and groom s cakes as our wedding gift i am thankful for their help melissa and i recently discussed what we wanted to serve with cake and punch and they will prepare purchase those items or that is the current plan i also have a lead on a florist so that is what i need to address next along with some rehearsal dinner details at this writing if you don t count today 30 days to go all this excitement is sort of tempered for me this week as i am mindful that thursday the 26th would have been dj s and my 18th anniversary february 1st marks the 3rd anniversary of his passing if i don t mark these dates then i don t know who will and he deserves to be remembered he was a good man and loved me as i loved him i am deliriously happy with charles and am looking forward to being his wife but i do honor dj and our life together for 36 years this made me who i am today taught me what it was to be a wife and in a long term relationship i think charles would thank him for that if they had met charles knows what loss is as well we know just how blessed we are to have this 2nd chance at love and marriage and will treasure every day that god grants us that we are ready to try again is a testament to our loved ones don t you think changing course here and looking to the future of course it probably goes without saying that i am not sewing who has time i barely know my own name lol and after all it is changing soon i do plan on doing the fat quarter shop 2017 make a wish quilt i purchased the kits and fat quarter stack of bonnie and camille basics with christmas monies from charles and my dear belles i want it bigger i think lol the first block was just released mid month i will get to it actually tempted to make the blocks larger than 5 inches and re size them either 7 5 or 10 inch finished will re visit that when i can fiddle in eq a bit in my free time ha i would love to have the long planned disappearing 4 patch in blues and white done for the master bedroom and maybe that is where my focus needs to be once the room is painted it would look great in there that and on the queen sized headboard bed frame that we will be hunting for at some point just gathering style ideas at this point and there you have it for this check in post i need to get oscar into his bed hit the shower and wind down for the night not sure where this day went but it is about over thx for stopping by to see what s up at january 25 2017 no

situation complete with leaky and leaning toilet and disintegrating particle board in the master bathroom the project was finally completed on friday january 6th woohoo i ve got some before and after type pictures to share you can see charles down on his back in the crawl space with the flooring cut away that was under the ruined flooring he got it all filled in and then discovered that particle board was just flaking away when the two courses of vinyl flooring were removed dj had just put one layer down over the existing flooring while my bathroom went down to the bare flooring he had to cut out about a 24 x 30 some section total thankfully we had the two varying thicknesses of plywood on hand for the initial placement and no more lumber was required just lots of that mud stuff and sanding in order to remove the leaky toilet the curved counter top over the stool had to be removed here you see the sink s residence while the work was ongoing in this picture charles was getting ready to cut down the existing counter top over the vanity from the top side you may be able to see how it narrows where he has his left hand placed we were able to salvage the trim for the cutaway and re use it i am not fond of this counter ugh it is in the kitchen and my bathroom too but it did save money to not replace it how it looks now new bathroom accessories and door pulls the wall paper border we applied to covers the tears to the paper when the counter came out charles idea there so we would not have to strip off the rest of the wall paper or paint it brightens the room up and matches the existing drape in there the vanity also got a new coat of stain to freshen it up he also tried to cut down the full size mirror that had been in place that didn t work out so well a friend saw a comment i had made of facebook and suggested a place near here that can cut hers down and then she used molding and rosettes on the corners to give it new life too late for mine but we are talking about updating mine next thx brenda for the suggestion we picked out this mirror from lowe s our home away from home lately when the plan did not work out charles is a retired master electrician so it was a piece of cake for him to move the electrical box over a bit to center the new light fixture over the sink the problem was that it did make a larger hole i thought we would have to get a different fixture with a bar like base but he suggested using a ceiling medallion painting it and using it behind the round light base i didn t get what he wanted me to do with two different colors of spray paint as it was not working to try to spray on the darker color on lightly it was either one color or the other he finally told me to spray some of the darker paint on paper plate and then daub it on the high spots lol i finally got that he wanted me to use like a stenciling pouncing technique to sort of antique it in person it looks good with the light globes we picked out the lighting is much brighter in there now especially with one bulb not hiding behind the medicine cabinet finally the new toilet made it into the house on friday morning once the flooring was completed and here it is in place along with all new quarter round and the shelving above the stool for a bit more storage space we got a chair height one so it is easier on the knees as several of my friend s were suggesting one of them asked me the other day what i thought of it and i haven t used it yet i have always thought that one secret to a good relationship is never having to share a bathroom with your spouse or significant other if you can help it i bought a baker s dozen more of the tile so we can use what remains in my bathroom down the line in between tasks and waiting for glue to dry for the umpteenth time he put a small ceiling fan up in the laundry room i tried to do what i could to help mostly being the ground guy and holding the flashlight lol that and pick up the stuff that got dropped earlier this week he corrected an long time electrical situation in my living room for almost 20 years there have been light switches that turned on nothing from the hallway and the kitchen i had to cross the living room to turn on any light source well that was like waving a red flag in front of a bull or at least throwing down a challenge to the electrician to solve this mystery we picked up some of his electrical tracing equipment from his home shop and he was off and running the problem was in the wiring to the ceiling fan and he took the thing down to wire it correctly i can turn on the living room ceiling light in three places hallway living room and kitchen i can turn on the fan on its own switch not the speed i still have to reach up on my tiptoes for that part but off and on works great there is one remaining mystery switch in the kitchen and that s challenge for another day he said i have been happily flipping switches since he fixed it woohoo doesn t take much to make me happy lol we had some raining and cold weather recently along with some ice and freezing rain sleet stuff a week ago friday enough that they preemptively cancelled school on thursday in light of the cold weather he couldn t work out in the shed or set up on the sawhorses on the patio i told him he could work on our chain saw here in the house if he protected the table here he is working on the primer pump and tubing which had disintegrated out in the shed he took a small engine repair class after he retired it is still not completely fixed but it did take off some limbs on the large crepe myrtle tree yesterday he borrowed his son s temperamental chain saw to get the last of the holly bush limbs down i helped haul off the sections to the burn pile and did some of the go fer stuff wedding plans are still in a stall pattern that recent ice deal cancelled church on sunday but mostly it is because of the pastor s wife s continued health concerns recent transplant we went at the appointed time but found a note on the door he had lost charles phone number and we didn t have his cell number so we were not making connections i think that is resolved thanks to one of church members usher deacon that was at the church today helping the missus set up for a baby shower we ll try again this sunday i should be writing down some of my questions and get my nose back in my weddings for dummies book at this writing we are 43 days away for the big day yep the calendar is marked and we re counting i haven t mentioned the critters oscar is back to wearing his belly band as he has been peeing on everything lately but especially since we were gone on that 2nd trip to gulf shores charles is always asking him where is your diaper as oscar shimmies out of it when he crawls under the bed skyler just gets more clingy but especially at night when oscar has gone to bed guess that is it for now he is asking me if i am writing a book lol maybe but that is what i get for not blogging for over 10 days lots going on but i can take a hint tomorrow the grandkids are coming for a bit so mama can go shopping decent weather means they are all going to the park and burn off some
