On the home front I finished the four windows and eight sashes in the dining room as well as the two windows and 4 sashes in our bedroom. When I say two windows and 4 sashes I am talking of two windows side by side with a mullion between them and trim around both of them and then they are double hung so there is a top and a bottom sash. One thing is really really nice and that is the grilles in the top sash are sandwiched between the two panes of glass so no paint. Also the exterior is aluminum clad so no paint there and of course no glaze to paint!!!! I really should be out in the garage as I write but that will come in a bit. I became so busy yesterday I forgot to brew my beloved FP coffee so this morning I said I NEED some of that and why not write while I enjoy?!
As I look outside and see the tree tops becoming a greenish yellowish color as the sun appears it looks like another perfect day.
I have decided to buy a couple of locks for our bikes in the garage. There is a story in the paper today that says stolen bikes are on the rise as high end bikes become more and more popular. A few years ago the average bike cost maybe $450 and today that has gone up to $675 and many many are in the $2000-$10000 and up. One bike reported stolen was valued at $20,000. Anyway I will stop at Home Depot on my way to see Terry today and pick up a lock to use when they are in the garage.
No I best be getting some things done. I want to send a card to Tom C who lost his father this past week. Then it is out to the garage to paint those raw wood window sashes. I will get a couple of them done this morning but have 8 left. That sounds like a lot but when I started I was looking at 24 so progress has been made.
As I set my coffee cup down I look at the trees,deer,tent,flowers and rabbits on the cup and think to myself that for sure the FP in that great cup starts the day off with a bang!
