Tomorrow night is supposed to be the first real freeze of the season. It's barely 50° right now and still raining. Tomorrow's low is expected to be in the mid 20's. Wow! I am about to start cleaning and then dyeing the concrete floor in the office/family room. I might...
Here it is Thursday and I've yet to start on the living room/office floor's dye job that I planned to start on Monday. Life sort of got in the way. COVID infiltrated the home of those Pesky neighbors and I hate to start what I might not be able to finish. Today or...
Concrete dye will be delivered today -- along with the concrete cleaner and primer. I'll hopefully start on the project Monday because I don't like tearing everything up on weekends. Weekends are a time to relax and enjoy. 🙂 I'll share photos along the way no matter...
I ordered the dye for the floors in the office/family room yesterday. In addition, I ordered the stuff to clean the floors, paint trays, and a small pump hand sprayer to apply dye after the roll-on to give a more textured look. In addition, I've already purchased the...

First, let me tell you how excited I am to have all the split units working properly. WE HAVE AIR CONDITIONING. FOR REAL! No bill yet -- and I'm expecting it to be big -- but at least it's not a total replacement... yet. An invasive species detected! On our daily...
After 2 days of weed whacking, my arms feel like jello. Tomorrow, they'll be sore. If we have another rain within the next few days, they'll barely be feeling normal before it's time to start all over again. Hello rural living! 🙂 All the way to the creek the weeds...
My back has been jacked for over a week now. It feels different this time from the way it felt when I had surgery in August 2014, but similar in some respects too. At this point, it's not as bad as it was then but I can see how it could get there. Still, I act like I...
