A shorter read this time

I primed some stuff and stained a vanity.  That's it.  :|

There are no pictures because no matter if I hired Michelangelo to paint/stain someone would recognize the poor job that was done (Hi Wife!).  But, I was cranky anyway, so I really mailed in the job.  I'm sure that there's paint all over the floor, but they're going to be sanded down anyway (or covered by carpet), so that doesn't really even matter, now does it?  But, for update's sake, I think that the trim in the bedrooms and hallways has been primed.

Seriously though, that's about all that was accomplished today, though we've made a lot of progress since the last update, it's just that the blog has been a little neglected.  Since we last were in touch we've built all of the cabinets so that they can be mounted on the walls and the floors.  I must admit that thus far, the Ikea cabinets have been far more reasonable than I expected.  Of course, there's still time for them to come around and get a good cussing, but so far so good.  Cabinet assembly was a critical path activity that will allow for the countertop folks to come in and get a template going allowing us to wrap this up just in time for the holidays!  Tune in later this week for pictures (what a tease!).  ...Maybe (what a lazy chump!).

Also during that time, Kelly installed a light fixture or two, we put a fan up, and have had more electrical shenanigans.  Starting to make me think that this house is an old Mercedes with all these electrical problems.  Oh, and the AC has taken a hiatus.  ...which is lovely.

I do realize that without any pictures that this post is basically worthless.  As a matter of fact, I'll bet only two people are still reading this: "I mean, what is this, the dictionary?", they'll say.  I should cut and paste one of my short stories write here.  I could probably put anything here and no one will even know.  But, on the other hand certainly someone will just glance past that last paragraph and catch the typo (Ed. Note: It's not a typo if it's intentional, it's just dumb).  Bearing that in mind, I'll probably just wrap this up, because it's late and I'm tired.

  1. I read your every word, Randall. I'm a huge fan of your work! Maybe you should write one of those comedic, snarky autobiographies!
