Keeper of Odd Hours

Took a few days off from working on the floor. Got hit by the high temps (not me, the weather).  Worked on it today and all that needs to be done now is the little corner by the wood stove platform and the transition strips. So far the 4 legged critters don't mind the floor. Except Layah, but she is more of the 3 legged type. She gets "stuck". No biggie, she gets stuck in the kitchen when she faces the stove or in doorways. She will have to adjust (started adjusting to the hallway). last little bit, but will take two planks! the green is going to be painted real soon!  the "slant" ate up planks!! A Thorn in my foot is what the transition strips are. ;) I was sold from Home Depot what was to be reducers and transitions. (rolling eyes here). I told the guy I have the vinyl planks! NOT the laminate plants! BIG difference in thickness!  The ones he sold me would be more dangerous to have on the floor than empty space! Time to tak...

After work today: Ice Cream, reading a book = nap. Simple dinner. Put some felt sticky pads on a chair and the recliner. Worked on the floor. Called it a night at 9:30 pm. Stomach is doing flip flops, might be due to being too hot and not enough water. Shower and more water then bed. The four legged kids are not happy. They don't understand why they can't help. They did escape. Not pretty when they step on the sticky part of the planks or the little pieces laying on the floor..poor things. lol Sorry for the blurry photo...not feeling well, shaky. ttfn

I will be taking breaks so I can get other things done around here (payday). During my breaks I will take a photo or two and post the time.  The curtains are going.... Starting at 10 am. Friday, July 19, 2013 It's moving along nicely. Had to do some creative cutting/snapping but got it done! A sharp blade is needed!! Going to take a shower (95 degrees outside), then heading to the My-T-Fine Store for some ice cream and soda with chips! (as far as I can remember I have always eaten chips and soda!) And pick up some lunch/dinner fixings. Driving into town for a major grocery shopping is not in the plan today. 11:30 am Break Time 11:30 Break Time 3:30 pm July 19, 2013  Taking a break to show the progress!  Snacking on my chips and finishing up my soda. Letting the sealant dry that I used to smooth out the "bump" that is in the floor. We felt it even under the carpet and padding. I drover a couple of nails in it, that secured it some. The caulkin...

Was up till 3 am!! Have not done that "on purpose" in a very long time! And was up and being an old school zombie at 7 ish am till the coffee kicked in. Yesterday I took long nap after work. Woke up, had some ice tea, played some GW2. When it was cool outside, opened the doors/windows with fans on proceeded to clean. What was cleaned was the Garden window in the kitchen. So many spider webs, but they have served their purpose! Many flies were caught in them! Natural fly traps! Enough about the flies/spiders. I took out the rubber mat that came with the house and used that as a template to cut some pebbled vinyl wall paper. Looks nice!   The counter top back splash needs to be redone. it's coming off! Next was the stove top..eww. Used my wood stove glass cleaner on it! Works pretty good! While I was in the kitchen doing the above: ALL the carpet that was to be taken out is OUT!! Thank you Kathryn! And sitting outside ..sure looks mighty fine in the front...
