NOTES FROM THE GARAGE...

Now live ~ coming to you from the garage! Yep, you heard right, folks... we are banished to the garage. We are getting our wood floors refinished, so we've set up camp in the garage, complete with 2 "desks", comfy chairs, 'puters, an ice chest full of food & drink, the beasties & their kennels ~ almost all the comforts of home! The sanding is all done, and they've just put the first coat of finish on ~ can you say STINKY?!?!?! It smells like someone just spilled a couple of gallons of acetone!! As soon as we can get in ~ a minimum of 5 hours; perhaps a bit longer ~ we'll be able to go in, open all the windows and turn on the whole house fan. The hooligans will be boarding over overnight tonight & tomorrow, when the sealant goes on. And need I say that I'm not looking forward to the clean-up?? They plastic wrapped everything, but there is still dust EVERYWHERE!!! A good reason to keep the floor well maintained, 'cause I do NOT want to have to go through this ever again! Signing off from the other side of the wall ~ Cheers!

Sending you "getting through" vibes. It'll be wonderful when it's all done and you're back home xox
