New doors.

It was great to see Luke this morning before I hit the road. He was in a good mood and we read a couple of books. I left and picked up the new patio doors before driving up the Mountain. I arrived right at eleven, and was met by my dad, who had been cleaning and organizing the house. We quickly took out the old French doors and then less quickly installed the new patio doors. The process went okay, and the new doors look great. Hopefully they won’t leak. There is supposed to be some rain tonight, so it will give us some idea of their effectiveness. I put down some more laminate, enough to install the final interior door and a little bit more trim. Unfortunately I am now out of trim and will need to go buy more. We called it a day and after showering at the cottage went to dinner at Papa Ron’s. It was pretty deserted. Tonight I spoke with Liz on the phone and tried to watch some episodes of Hawaii Five-0 that I downloaded, but the app wouldn’t let me. What a joke. On that note I’ll try to go to sleep now.

No church, no bananas, no Mountain.

Luke slept well last night and woke up in a great mood. Our church has closed the nursery for the foreseeable future, so we didn’t go this morning. I went to the grocery store after breakfast and attempted to buy a huge list of items. Unfortunately they didn’t have bananas or potatoes, but most other things were available. The store was a bit crowded though. We played and read a lot at the house, ate lunch, Luke napped, we played some more, then my dad came by on his way to the Mountain. I won’t be going up until tomorrow, since I need to pick up doors here in Columbia in the morning.

Fun family time.

We all slept in a little bit this morning, which was great. When he woke up Luke wanted us to read a lot of books, so we did for nearly an hour. That was a blast. Then Liz made breakfast cookies. After breakfast we played with Legos and read some more. Liz made Cuban black beans for lunch, and they were delicious. Luke napped and then we went for a walk at the nature park to take advantage of the lovely weather. There were more folks out than I have ever seen, and most had dogs with them, which Luke loved. He also really enjoyed walking further than he normally does. We were a little late to dinner and bedtime, but it was worth it.

Working, driving, playing.

This morning I hauled trash to the dump and organized things a little in the house while waiting for the HVAC guy to come finish up. I also started installing knobs on the kitchen cabinets. After the HVAC guy left I stopped by the Goat Market for some goodies, and chatted with Eric for a few minutes. Then I drove to Lowe’s in Shelbyville, where I ordered more bathroom wall tile. She said they are available from the vendor, so that is good. When I called the vendor yesterday I was told they were out for a few months. I drove home and was able to get Luke when he woke up from his nap. We played with blocks until Liz was done with work, then we went for a walk up in Spring Hill and got pizza to go from a place we really like. After dinner and bath Luke went to bed. Now I am just catching up on blog posts while Liz does whatever she is doing right now.

Trim, more HVAC, decent weather.

It was pretty warm and not too wet today. I put down thresholds between the bedrooms and bathrooms, and trimmed out the bathroom with the completed tub surround. The HVAC guys nearly finished up today. I built a cedar box around the return air duct work. I worked all day but for some reason it feels like I didn’t get too much done. This evening I have just relaxed.
