Nov. 2nd, 2012 07:38 pmWednesday I bought the undercoat, stain and finishing spray for the new bay window. I've told Leofwyna I'll get that done this week. I really need to step up for some of this as she's done nearlly all the wall prep herself.
Thursday when Leofwyna got up we went to a couple lighting shops looking at fixtures for the bathroom and livingroom. It seems our tastes for these are running parallel so we just need to find the right ones and get 'em ordered. So now we're looking at what's avalable on the internet so we don't miss identifying the perfect ones.
Friday afternoon I went out a couple hours with the leaf blower/vacuum/mulcher and only completed the flower beds on the southeast corner of the house. We'll still be mowing up leaves on the lawns. This 'toy' will be better than raking over the plants and really reduces the leaves to fine mulch a treat. It's not fast though, nor really thorough, but it will be useful in a somewhat more limited way than anticipated. It is good not to have to move the decorative rocks... just suck up most of the leaves, blow out the ones that want to hang on and suck them up too. Leaves that would make a full tarp-load are reduced to about a five-gallon bucketful. I won't have to threaten to buy more compost cages anymore.
In genealogy news this week, I finished the 12th Century very thoroughly and began the 11th Century. There's still approximately 2,400 leafs to check over.
