Trim work from hell...



Had a hard time sleeping last night, so I was up at 5:10am. Took a shower and went out to water. No rain again last night. I got Kyle up at 7am so he could take his pill and eat breakfast before going to camp. He got to be the quarterback of his team today when they had scrimmage games. Today was the day we wanted to finish the bar. I now have a better appreciation for people who do trim work. We had to cut 16 pieces of trim, stain them, and then install them. What a pain. I was able to catch the last half hour of Kyle's practice and he did really well, but he said his team lost. After I picked him up, we went to wal-mart for a few things then on to Lowe's for the second time already today. We had a couple of rain drops but nothing could stop us from finishing the bar. After making 2 more trips to Lowe's for more trim pieces, the assembly of the bar is completed. We still need to put a sealing coat or two, but the cutting, sanding, staining, and nailing are completed. It was too late to take a good picture of it, so it will be on tomorrow night's blog. Today's picture is of the local squirrel robbing the birds food. Some days they are able to get the holder off and drag it into the bushes so they can have it all to themselves.
