Hello people. I'm sitting on my swing during the last day of hot weather. We are getting storms later and all will change to the 60's. The wind is a welcome change. The change in temperature is not.
A gentleman that I called for an estimate to do our carpentry work just left. He worked for his brother who has been building McMansions for decades. He took out his tape and notebook and before I knew it, he told me he will start early next week. I never told him he had the job. I didn't ask what he charges. I didn't get an estimate. He talked about being a Vietnam veteran (Tet Offensive) suffering from PTSD and depression and can't work a five day week because of Thursday trips to the VA. If not for his weekly sessions and medication, he could not function. Mark knows him and all his life he has worked hard, overtime, in the steel mill and building homes, and it wasn't until he retired six years ago that the nightmares and terrors started. He can come to work here all he wants and I hope it helps him through his days. I will certainly benefit from having him here.
We had planned on removing the old trim and drywall door casings ourselves, and wanted the ceilings painted before the box beams are installed. I will be a busy B this weekend and try my best to prepare what I can. I have two days to decide on cedar or pine beams, knots or not, stain color, ceiling color, style of Wayne's coat, and the width of the other room's shiplap.
My chiropractor may not know wall coverings, but she knows more about the spine, neck, and muscles than any other I have ever been to.
Hope your weekend is relaxing and dust-free!!
