“The RoseBouquet”

Perhaps you get tuckered out just reading about my home reno projects? (Gulp! I just swallowed a desire to defend myself).

But if you want to know what goes on at my place when I’m home, this is the MAIN THING on most Saturdays. I know the seasons will change and then it will not be so possible. I spent a second Saturday on the stairwell project because a friend from the mission (WTM) agreed to come and help since he is tall and has long arms. I had hinted that I needed such a friend to help get the plaster out that I could not reach the previous Saturday.

Wayne Senger brought along his landlord, Jake, who had a weak arm from a recent accident, but they worked without complaining for about 2 and a half hours.

The plaster came out and when I asked about the slats they tackled that too! God bless them!

Wayne had worked a night shift at a warehouse and by 3:30 he really needed to go home to rest, but fortunately I could reach the lower slats that were left, and then I had to do the clean up. If this peaks your interest, I’ve added a few photos to last week’s photo story page; Stairwell-plaster-out!

After Ernie’s visit, I’ll be away at a genealogy workshop the next weekend, so it will be mid-February before I get back to my reno projects. I like to think that I may get the worst of the dirty jobs done by the end of March.
