What's Been Done This Week
05/28/05 Filed in: Folderol
• We've torn out the carpet in the living room and
the dining room, exposing the 100+ year old hardwood
floors. The floors are in surprisingly good shape for
their age, if in need of polishing and waxing, though
the dining room has rather more nicks and bumps than
the living room.
• Planted the herb garden, phase 3 of the new landscaping in the back yard.
• Replaced the very old, very delicate, very inoperable windows in the bedrooms and bathroom on the third floor with look-alike custom jobs.
• Still to come: Sprucing up the front porch. Staining the deck. Paint, paint, and more paint.
• Bonus: The irises are in full force, with the peonies looking to open in the next few days. Ditto the azaleas and rhododendrons.
Um. I seem to be a suburbanite.....
