A beautiful, sunny, cool, breezy day in Dublin today. Been doing some domestic work today. No more laundry mat except things too big to put in the washer I have. The underside of the cast iron claw bathtub has been primed and painted underneath. The gold feet look perfect. John plans to paint the inside of the tub sometime this weekend.
The plumbers did not come today to do the bathroom because they wanted to take the day off to spend with their families after Thanksgiving. They will be here on monday to complete the bathroom. Gives John more time to get the bathtub and other things he needs to get done in the bathroom. John built some shelving to put all his tools on in the back storage area. He is cleaning and organizing so things from the GWTW room can be moved to the back storage room and the stuff that is there now can be moved to the attic above. Our plan is to have the GWTW room cleared out except Christmas stuff we plan to use in decorating this season.
Yesterday, we worked around the house, picked up pecans, relocated the pile of dirt where the trench was dug for the electric, showered then went out for a nice Thanksgiving meal. One of John's friends came by the house yesteday afternoon and we chatted for awhile. Tomorrow or sometime this weekend, we will be going to Home Depot to start plans for the kitchen, pick up all the ceiling fans and lights for the bathroom. Some time this week, I anticipate making a trip to Atlanta to pick up the last two lighting fixtures. We will be testing the white lights on the house this weekend. We plan to start putting up Christmas decorations this weekend to be completed in time for our official Capt Hardy Smith open house.
Next week, the plan is to begin the wiring for the back part of the house; the kitchen, temporary storage area, hallway and the back part of the breezeway. The guest bedroom that was completed but the floor boards torn out for installation of the electrical outlets, will be repaired and furniture will be moved in and decorated to welcome our first guest(s) for Christmas.
Max has this guilty look on his face, sitting on old sofa that will be going to the dump. The mattress and boxspring may be headed for the dump too. All the beer bottles will be put in storage.
Enjoy pictures taken yesterday and today. Keep checking my blog for updates.
