Flooring is Finished in the Upstairs Hall

I felt better this morning when I woke up but it took me a while to get going. I coughed for a while this morning and off and on throughout the day but not nearly as much as I had been lately. Since Stan was coming over this morning I wanted to try and get as much done before he got here as I could; so after eating the breakfast, reading the paper, loading the dishwasher, starting it up, and washing all the hand washing dishes from this weekend I shook out the kitchen rugs, swept and mopped the kitchen floor and then went outside and mowed the front lawn.

Stan still had not gotten here so I edged the west side of thee driveway and then swept the area where I had edged. Stan arrived while I was doing this so I stopped and put away my tools and helped Stan get his tools set up.


Stan worked just about all day and finished up the flooring and then when he finished that he went to the lumber yard and got some nice fir to finish off the rail top and the pole at the end of the rail. He finished that up and I helped him by holding the wood together while he attached them with brads.

When all that was finished we cleaned everything up, put his tools back into his truck and then talked about what we need to do tomorrow. Getting new doors is the first thing we are going to do so Stan will pick those up before coming over here tomorrow. We also need to choose the molding that we are going to put up around the floor so he is going to bring over a few samples that he has.

I ran out of steam a couple times today, but after resting for a while I felt better. My feet got really sore from being on them all day but other than that I do not feel all that bad. I am not sure what Kathleen is doing for dinner, I probably need to go up and check with her as it is already after 1800 now.

Toni is suppose to start in her new position today; she got promoted to supervisor and I think that she will do well at it. She was really discourage about her job a while back and I think that it shows a lot of maturity on her part to stick it out and now she has been somewhat rewarded for it.

Andrea sent out her new CarePage invitations today; we suggested that would be a good way for her to keep everyone updated on her and the new baby's progress so I am glad she did it.
