Not much going on since the big house project reached the penultimate milestone. By the time it was finally done, I was expecting that painting would have to wait until next year, but the project manager insisted that they were still doing painting jobs. As long as it is above 40 degrees (or 35 in a pinch) it is supposed to be OK. So wouldn't you know it, as soon as they work one day and paint two sides of the house, we have about a three week cold snap with periodic intermissions of rain. Finally, today, the painters have returned to continue the job. Today and tomorrow look good, and they might even get to work Thursday, if the forecast improves.
Meanwhile we have lived a quiet and relatively uneventful existence since the last update, at least compared to our friends who have been busy moving and having kids and stuff. I suppose we should be preparing for the holidays now, but mostly I have been playing bridge and Rock Band (not at the same time), while Edith works on her sewing projects. The house work has inspired a couple of other small side projects, like switch wiring and general cleanup/organization, and I have been watching more home improvement TV programming. This too will probably pass, as soon as it becomes clear that I can't build a deck and re-landscape the yard in 22 minutes.
