Caulking And Staining My House

Yep, that's me up on the roof staining my house, with only a few sides left to go. I started in July, and I'm still working on it, but I've only been working on it on my days off, plus I've been caulking and putting two coats of stain on, so actually it's all good. It is such a good feeling of accomplishment getting this done.

With my house all caulked and stained it should save me a lot on heating this winter. After working on the outside of the house, I'm starting in the basement, I have the R-19 insulation already to insulate the downstairs and I can't wait to get started on that project, but want to finish the outside first with the good weather. I'm hoping for an Indian summer, since it froze last night.

WOOHOO!

Awesome Times

My son came to town this weekend for a wedding and we had the best time.

It was so fun seeing this group of friends all together, and we all had bombs, I forgot the complete name, but it was a shot of Jameson whiskey, a half pint of Guinness, and then you drop a shot of Baileys cream in, then shoot it down, if you don't drink it right away the cream makes the last of the drink awful. I was preparing myself to vomit, not feeling I'd be able to do it, but it was placed in front of me so I thought what the hell. It was very delicious, really. Quite the combo of tastes, it was my first one and it was really quite good.

We sang karaoke and had the best time playing Rock Star, what a fun game, I can see how this game could get habit forming, probably just like Mario.

All good things must come to an end as they say, the weekend came and went too quickly.

I Filled My Dishwasher!

Nick came home and I got to meet Sara, yes Sara without the H. ;) Will it be my Sarah and Nick's Sara? Not that either of them are things to be owned, but to differentiate between them? Or Sara east and Sarah west, I digress. However it was wonderful meeting you Sara!

They are so used to warmer weather living back east, and of course it has to be overcast today. I do hope that it warms up a bit for the rest of their vacation here.

It was fun having them here, I do love the house being full of laughter and fun times. I actually filled my dishwasher!
