Man , am I beat.. I had so much going this weekend.. and in the middle of it, Diane and I decided to take on a major household project. The funny thing is, I think I got everything I was trying to do done.. That rarely happens with me now.. .. Well whatever we got done.. I’m completely exhausted.. I feel completely empty.. physically and emotionally. .. and somehow peaceful at the same time. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I have a small backlog of pictures that I’d like to post.. I know I’ve been lazy the last 2 days. <\/p>\n

Hers a view from Friday.. Richmond is still cut in half by the failign brisge. It might be hard for folks who live elsewhere to appreciate the major effect this bridle closing has on the town.. Our road is the next possible detour.. anf that alone is a 7 mile side trip.. Folks who live on one sie of the bridge are a good 20 minutes from their friends on the other side.. unless the walk across the broken bridge. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

As you may recall.. Diane and I had Friday night to hang out in Burlington while Gabe whent to a movie. we ended up sleeping in the car in the parkign garage.. but we did have soem excitement before that…we crused around Borders looking at books. I likeed this ones title. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

.. and I even found a CD with Max singing on it.. !<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Once the bookstore closed, we went to Dobra tea and had a late night pick me up. I had smoky lapsong suchang… I love the name almost as much as the taste !<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Sat. morning.. I had to run over to Sara G. to pick up the pumplin monster’s head.. Sara and her friend Becca are making the decoratins for the beast.. They did a great job with the head !<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I ewroked on marrying the creatures jaws to the rest of the head.. so that we can move it to speaking.. I love that kind of work..<\/p>\n

Abot 6:30 PM Diane and I started a hike up the Catamount Trail.. Somewhere on that hike we decided to go ahead with teh crown molding project.. We we’re alone wiht no kids.. so .. why not ?!<\/p>\n

We headed to Home Depot where another cutomer captured us in American Gothic posture. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

We grabbed 10 feet of molding and crammed the 16 foot sections in our car.. CAREFULLY !<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We came bck and started working at 10.. THe first job was to tear down the old square milding.. ewwwwwwww huge caps, old plaster.. and g-d knows what else came pouring down on us when we pulled off the old boards. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We worked until abotu 1 putting up the modling. then woke around 7:30 and got right back to it… We hid a buch of SamStonesthroughout the project. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Soem of the old stuff we had to pull down was up there for a centruy or more.. look at this old writing on the back f some old moulding .. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We ended up borrrowing a nailer . another ladder and a mitre saw form Tim.. that made the project easy.. by afternoon we’d finished.. and it really looked great !<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Around 6 gabe went to a movie.. and I headed over to Homers. we had to find a way to marry the head to the body.. we had a great work sessions tonight.. the thing is relly looing scary !<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Unfortunately.. I manage to burn ot one of the creatures jaw motors when it got jammed.. \ud83d\ude41 .. Luckily.. I ave a replacement !<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/param><\/param><\/param><\/param><\/object> .. <\/p>\n
OK.. it’s time for sleep.. if anyone can sleep in this heat.. It’s over 80 degrees here at midnight.. That almost NEVER happens…<\/p>\n

You know what else NEVER happens.. me goign to sleep on time.. ok.. time for bed. gnite everyone.. Gnite Sam.. !.. <\/div>\n
