Be determined..

Tag: git' er' done'
I quess we both decided this was going to be the last time we worked on this-and disrupted with making a mess.With 2 days of rain, and more on the way,it was a good time to do this.All materials on board- and didnt need much,I got 3/4 done with chalking & Radiant Barrier on Friday-,we always had a small leak under the window area,puddled on the floor- but this time it didnt leak, but we've had no wind yet either.Since I cant remember if it leaked after we put up the gutter in July-it may have stopped it then.Anyways we decided the darn thing is getting done.He hangs the OSB today- & I can start priming.It was cheaper than sheetrock-which was overkill for a mudroom. On tuesday morning,no rain scheduled-we go to the outside,take off the cheap housewrap-plug every hole & crack,then put up Radiant Barrier again.Then we can lay the lineoleum,knowing it wont get wet. We also layed out the stove area lineoleum for that to smooth out for a few days before securing it down.When the sun gets to the corner during the winter,we get incredible heat from the sun heating up the mudroom-so I open the door and it helps to heat the living room for a good 5 hr. stretch.But dont you know I also get the flies,which make a mess.So I'll look for something besides the sticky tape-non-toxic,that can deal with this. Sometime this week the perennials bulbs will go in. Everythings got a good drink of water now & its back to a drizzle- and some flowers are blossoming again. It poured hard last nite.No wind yet- as its just barely going to scim the coast they say-so we may not.
