I cleaned the garage and played with Luke. Also cooked two meals in the slow cooker. Followed a little football. Spent a lot of time on the computer looking at Black Friday deals. Didn’t take any pictures.
Nasty, unproductive day.
It was raining this morning. I hauled the tools to the storage unit then went to the office and paid my bill. I chatted with my dad for a bit. He spent last night at the cottage. I went next door to see if Debbie was around, but she wasn’t. I took a somewhat new route home this afternoon. My mother was there looking after Luke, who is a little sick. I went to Kroger then spent the rest of the afternoon playing with him.
Church, park, chill.
Well we made it to church for the second week in a row. Luke did very well again/ This evening we went to the playground in Spring Hill. The sunset was lovely.
Five years.
That’s how long we’ve been married, as of today. It was a pretty normal day for the most part. Relaxing morning, Liz and my mother went clothes shopping for Luke this afternoon in Cool springs, then my parents came and babysat Luke while we went out to dinner. Southern Tre steakhouse in downtown Columbia. More on it at a later date. Short version – not impressed. We did have a nice walk around downtown while we waited on our table though.
The porch ends – for now.
I got a fairly early start this morning and went by the lumber yard for a few boards. Then I started on the porch rafters. I had cut my template yesterday, which helped speed up the process. I had most of them installed before I needed a couple more boards. I returned to the lumberyard (thankfully only about five minutes away) for them. Kenneth arrived just after I did, and we kept rolling. The last rafter and sub-fascia went up pretty quickly. The OSB decking was a bit of a pain, but he got it up and partially fastened. We also attached the ledger boards for the back deck and set the cedar trim out to dry. All in all it was a very productive day. After dropping all the tools off at the storage unit and going by the bank I returned to the cottage for a very late lunch/early dinner. I hit the road and stopped at Lowe’s in Tullahoma for an oven for our apartment, then raced to get home before Luke went to bed. I barely made it. We read a book and then Liz put him down. It was overall a pretty good week.
