Tomorrow Brought a Variety of Experiences

When no trades showed up this morning, my Sweetie called Mike the Contractor to find out what was scheduled for today. No one! Until the phone rang a few minutes later. Mike wanted his flooring contractor to look at the existing floor to double check him on species and size.

John the Flooring Guy arrived a few minutes later. Indeed Mike was right about it being a combination of various cuts of pine. John pointed out the heart pine that was quartersawn. It is a beautiful wood. Our floor is a combination of various pine, not all quartersawn.

After lunch it was time to put the top down and head to Edelman's Plumbing to finalize the selection of fixtures.

This number caught my eye. Why is the question that comes to mind.



Instead we selected a rectangular drop-in sink in pure white to go with the Dartmouth commode.







Over the weekend we decided that we should replace the commode on the third floor while we had a plumber in the house so Whitney will grace the third floor bath. It will complement the claw-foot tub nicely.

After spending more hours than I had hoped shopping, I was more than ready to play in the dirt. Getting out my trusty cart and shovel, I began filling in the ditch by the driveway. I decided to use the poor soil next to the garage to begin building it up. Imagine my surprise when I saw these morning glory seedlings.
