It's weird. Quite a bit of precipitation in the area but it is moving from northeast to southwest--that is almost unheard of in this part of the country and does suggest we won't get the gale force winds that were forecast. It is quite calm out there now with a bit of blue showing between the clouds here and there. Who knows what it will eventually do. So far what is happening is not what the weather folks predicted.
Wednesday's smile
It's made of poplar and poplar's a great wood for paint. The problem is the pine door. I ca't figure how to stain both poplar and pine to look the same. The drawers have the same profile as the doors and the wainscot yet to come. Then there's the door casements, baseboard and chair rail.Paint??!! You're gonna PAINT an objet d' art???!!!! HEATHEN!!!!!!!
Well, it's been a big day here at Pimplebutt. My chest of drawers and the bi-fold doors were delivered!
The fellow who built the chest lives 'out in the woods'. That is to say, he lives a rural lifestyle. He builds one hell of a cabinet. It was completed back in January. But his driveway...
Do you remember the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway? That was the Olympics with the Tanya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan scandal. The Giant Slalom course at those games was just a little more passable by 4X4 than my carpenter's driveway, at least this winter.
We decided to wait for the thaw, the same way grave diggers did before the invention of the backhoe. He made a couple runs along it with his truck and pronounced it safe enough.
The chest is magnificent (I know, that's what she said), and I'll have a hobby this long President's Day weekend getting the thing primed and maybe painted! The same goes for those doors. It's oil based primer and paint so everything will be done in the garage with the overhead door cracked a few inches lest I become a huffer by default.
As a matter of fact, I promised some before pictures. Always present 'before' in the worst possible light. So, here's the 'current' state of the Master Suite:Well, it's been a big day here at Pimplebutt. My chest of drawers and the bi-fold doors were delivered!

Very nice. You'll have to post some pictures when you're all done with your redecorating.

Yeah, it's a mess. Yeah, it's overstuffed. But that's the whole point of the renovation!
Lol!
I was up late last night too.
Saw a good movie on the T.V. that started at 11:00p.m. and was over at 1:30 a.m.
It is really and I mean really windy here today. Gusts up to 80 mpr. Dust everywhere.
Glad to hear the good news that Mrs. O is feeling somewhat better. Continued prayers for her complete recovery.

Whoa, that's more than hurricane force. You got the high wind we were supposed to get yesterday and never did. But batten down the hatches. We're back to mid spring like weather here and as far ahead as they can probably see. Springtime does usually bring a LOT of wind to Albuquerque though and we aren't having a lot of that recently. I hate wind.

I'm just joking, BTW. TBH, my house isn't always tidy either, like right now. I really need to get off the internet and clean up.
