trystinnGiven all the delays this morning, I was insanely relieved when the exchange students down the street (Karen and Cindy) showed up to ask if Caroline could come over to play games. Caroline was very concerned that she should stay and help out, but I sent her off with some yogurt and a gentle push. Frankly, any help I need, a 90lb teenager isn't likely to be much help with - she cannot lift a 50 pound sack of feed, but then most adults I know can't either! Nor can she lift a garbage can of similar weight. So go have fun! Who the heck wants to haul garbage, anyway? I sure don't!
Still waiting on the hutch builder, I had a feeling they'd flake out this morning after they flaked out yesterday afternoon. *eye roll* Update: they came by this afternoon and we managed to hammer out some plans. Now I need to get to Home Depot and buy the wood, hardware, etc.
Thankfully, Michael has been by to finish up a few measurements. He's off to the lumber mill to buy wood for the back porch gates. He's thinking he'll get at least one finished today. I'm hoping for both. Once they are in place, we'll be able to get started renovating the back porch, which includes: removing the various items on the porch, power washing it, sealing it and re-arranging the cafe table, etc. I'm thinking I'll tap Kevin for this, I'm going broke paying for contractors. :(
I'm hoping Michael remembers that we need a channel for the dogs to go outside and a ramp to walk down to get off the porch and into the backyard. *cross fingers*
Meanwhile, we really need to do a dump run. We were supposed to go this morning before everything else started, but Jim never showed up. So now he's coming at some point this afternoon. Sounds like we're darting out while Tiger is having her hair done.
I will definitely have earned my sushi dinner tonight!
