I gave up on the stupid moulding for today and perhaps tomorrow, but did nonetheless manage to accomplish something. We’re civilized again!

One step and then another… Rain held off just long enough for me to finish.

I had five minutes this morning, so I put a coat of paint on my repair. I also put a second coat on the printer cabinet doors, but no pictures because they look the same. After work, I carefully taped up drop sheeting so I could clear coat my furniture. Miffy’s hair didn’t help, but […]

It’s kind of early, but I couldn’t resist, so I got a flat of Salvia for the MLBs. I’ll bring it inside if it gets really cold, but I ME, as long as it doesn’t freeze, this stuff is okay. While I was waiting for the haze of fumes from clear coating my office furniture […]

After I’d planted the creeping jenny, I came inside to start the moulding in the bathroom with the mitre box I got today. Cove moulding is a PITA for corners because what looks like it should be right…isn’t. I figured it out eventually, but while I waited to be less pissed off, I caulked the […]

C brought me some today, and as soon as I got home, I planted it in spots amongst the rocks around the pond. I just used the cheap potting soil I’d got for Cliffie’s Walstad tank; I don’t want fertilizer runoff in the pond (already enough algae in there).

I was too tired to do much on Friday night, but I did at least get the hardware back on the cabinet. That’s better! After practically killing myself to get rid of that goddamned honeysuckle on Saturday, I really didn’t want to do anything, but I’m close to done, so I sanded the printer cabinet. […]

I did a lot indoors this weekend, but I spent time outdoors, too. Nearly 5h of it was because some dingus 40 years ago chose not to reach down and pull a bush honeysuckle seedling that was growing very close to an osage-orange tree. I’d tried poisoning it, but it had been cut so many […]

Buchheit had miniature daffy-down-dillies on sale yesterday. Virginia bluebells are starting to bloom. More hyacinths are never unwelcome. Yellow and orange are slow, but coming along.

Crazy, a little stupid, and it worked! I think the drywall compound will even be okay; it sucked up the oil-based primer like a camel in the desert, which is good because once that primer hardens (and it hardens like rock), the front of my door will be more resistant to potential dings. Another coat […]
