Starting up the Remodeling Again

This morning was dreary looking outside when I woke up but I got up anyway because Stan had said that he would be over between 0800 and 0830 so I wanted to make sure that I had the upstairs cleaned up, breakfast eaten and the kitchen cleaned up before he got here.

As it was he did not get here until between 0900 and 0930 so I had plenty of time to get things done. Once he got here he unloaded his tools and then after surveying the floor went to pick up enough plywood to cover the flooring.

After he was here for a while he decided to get 3/4" instead of the 1/2" that he had originally gotten so he took off to exchange the plywood. While he was gone I went outside and did a little weeding in my vegetable garden. When I heard him come back I went to stand up and lost my balance and when I went to catch myself I cut my thumb on my stainless steel Hori-Hori knife. It bleed pretty well and by the time I put the knife back into the garage I had gotten quite a lot of blood on the handle.

Once I got inside I cleaned up and then put some Neosporin and a bandage over the cut. We put down a layer of felt between the old plywood and the new plywood to help cut down on the noise factor and then cut the plywood to fit around everything in the upstairs hallway.

Stan finally finished, put his tools back into his truck and by the time he left it was around 1800. So shortly after he left Kathleen made some spaghetti with some hot Italian sausage. I feel really tired tonight mostly from going up and down stairs and trying to carry almost full size sheets of 3/4" plywood up at the same time.

This is not a very long blog, but it is all that I have energy for tonight.
