Our work on the house has slowed up a bit. I'm not sure if our projects are now to big to tackle after work and need serious all day weekend type work or if we need to recharge our batteries. We took Tuesday night off for much needed rest. Home from work - nap - eat dinner - back to sleep. It was so decadent!

The insurance compnay was coming out to inspect the handrail to the basement so we HAD to get that done by today. Since Rob and I are abolute geniuses, we decided to do that project on Wednesday, that way we would have an extra buffer day in case there were any snafus. We stopped by the little expensive hardware store that is 1 mile away and got the appropiate drill bit but as it turns out, the drill didn't have the umph to tackle concrete. We decided that going home and making a big dinner would be a better idea.

Thursday night, I went straight over to the house and started spackle-ing the walls and tape-ing up the cabinets to prepare for putting the primer on the kitchen walls. By the time I finished taping, Rob showed up with a super duper bulldog drill? In 5 minutes he had all the holes drilled in the concrete and despite the swarms of mosquito's in the backyard he got the handrail on relatively quickly. As you know, it's monsoon season in Maryland so Rob added extensions to the gutters so the water goes away from the foundaiton instead of pooling in one area and sneaking into the basement. While he was doing this, I primed the celing and painted the trim on the kitchen window. I am currently covred with little specs of primer.

As I write this entry, it's raining big fat raindrops in sheets. I've never seen a wetter spring.
