The Week In Review...

It seems it is never possible to accomplish everything one wants to get done in a week. There are constantly setbacks but you have to focus on what was accomplished and who showed up. Our good friend Rod Jacob flew here after a trip to Ottawa with his fantastic lady to give Chris a boost for 2 weeks before Sarah arrives. Writing this note Sunday morning... the ceiling in the parlour is ready for painting... and the floor is ready for the first coat of Varathane. We are hopeful that the dining room floor will be ready for the first coat later today. Because of the thickness of the various paints and coatings on the floors... Rod (mostly) and Chris have had to hand scrape the floors. This really knocked the schedule back. A huge thanks goes out to Roderick Jacob for all his help; Darrell for dealing with drywall mudding when the 'pitch hit' mudder only showed up for 1.5 days in a week and a half; Cubby Gillis and Boss for helping Christopher with some wood splitting; Perry for the loan of the splitter; and last but definitely not least... Aunties Linda and Betty for taking Scapa for afternoon of puppy play exercise on a few days this week!
