This morning Luke dressed up like a landscaper for his Halloween party at school. He was pretty excited. I left the house at the same time he did and drove to Lowe’s in Tullahoma for a few things. My next stop was Home Depot in Winchester followed by Food City. I unloaded at the cottage then went to the job site. I worked until after dark installing boards on the walls.
I arrived at the job site at seven this morning, unloaded the tools, and got all set up to work. Then I waited for the inspector. He arrived just before nine and gave me the thumbs up. I started work on the walls but needed a rubber mallet, so I went to the lumberyard. They didn’t have any for sale but did loan me one from the paint department. back at the house I worked until about 2:15 and made decent progress. I stopped by the Goat Market and ordered a pizza, went to the cottage to pack up, returned to the Goat Market and ate some of the pizza, then hit the road. I stopped at Home Depot in Manchester to buy some nails, then drove on home. Luke and Liz were playing outside when I arrived, but then we came in and built a Lego tower before dinner. After dinner we cleaned up and Luke took a bath, then I showered. I was just starting to relax when Liz said that she needed a color inkjet printer to print an iron-on think for Luke’s Halloween costume that he will wear to school tomorrow. So I drove up to Target in Spring Hill and got one. Now she is messing with it and I am not sure when I will be able to go to bed.
This morning I just ran errands and hung out a bit while waiting to hear from the building inspector. After lunch and more relaxing I went to the job site to arrange the wood that I will attach to the walls as soon as the inspector gives his approval. I did that until dark. This evening I have just been relaxing.
This morning I met the plumbers at the job site then returned to the cottage to clean it in anticipation of my parents’ arrival this afternoon. Back at work I cleaned and organized everything and took a lot of stuff to the storage unit. The plumbers finished up and I texted the inspector about a visit but have yet to receive a reply. For kicks I drove a bit down Laurel Lake and ended up stopping to talk with a neighbor for over an hour. I returned to the cottage and ate my slow cooker dish. I think I will watch another James Bond tonight.
This morning Liz made pancakes and then we went to Home Depot and Publix in Spring Hill. After lunch we drove to Bloomsbury Farm in Nolensville for “Octoberfest”. We mainly went to see Maria the baker who had a booth set up with pretzels, pumpkin muffins, and apple strudel. They had a zipline and little climbing net, which Luke enjoyed. We finished up the excursion with free grilled cheese sandwiches. Back at the house I played with Luke for a bit before driving to the Mountain. I am about to start watching Casino Royale on my phone.
