Steve in the Buff!

10-23-13

Once again, the morning gets away from me.

Steve got sanded yesterday. Who knew the floors were so damn bright and pretty under? They are so light! We are going to keep them closer to their natural color with just a hint of golden honey color in the stain/polyurethane. Today is the first coat, so it will be interesting to see. I am planning on going there right after work since I want to work in the family room and get base boards painted. The floors should hopefully be dry by next week, which means we can put in the base boards and trim and then set up beds. Woo!

My kitchen is DONE! The gas company came out yesterday and approved everything. My stove is pushed back in and it is all ready for me! One small piece of molding needs to be nailed on, but that is minor. I also can now oil my cutting board, but to be honest, I am waiting on that until we are moved in. There is way too much dust still and I want to keep it protected.

I won’t be able to paint the door frames till next week, which sucks, but it is what it is. I would like it if on Sunday Ken can work on the bathroom so that has a good start. Then maybe Tuesday of next week when he works all day he can finish it up or get more done on it and then we can put up the base boards in the bedroom.

I ended up coaching the practice by myself last night. I was so freaked out that the parent were going to be watching me from the sideline thinking I didn’t know what I was doing. The boys were pretty wild, but we managed. I worked on a lot of different things. I did have to get strict with them, and I think a couple of them were a little surprised. That being said, it was nice to know that my boys are just like every other little boy out there. They are all smart asses and wild. LOL!

I think we will do homework at Steve this afternoon. I figure I can work on painting while they sit and work. We don’t have to be anywhere tonight so it is easier to do this. I have a shit ton of regular chores to do when we get back to Eydie, but I think those will go faster than they look.

Once again, I question my staying at work for the day.
