This weekend we should have been a little more productive, and I’ll get to that. However, we needed to also stop and celebrate that Ciera was chosen to be the 7th grade STEM teacher next year, go her! Chad also received a new job offer which will put him back to mechanicing full-time again, only about 5 minutes from home and no more having to drive the coastline every day. We took the time to celebrate both achievements (which suits me fine as then I don’t have to cook). A win-win for all! Ciera and I also took in Stroman Middle School’s One-Act Play. They did Anne of Green Gables and I think they did a great job. Lord knows I never did anything like that and still have zero desire to be on stage.
Now for the work – we went into the weekend knowing we were going to take out one of the hall railings and install the new. This is for the shorter side that overlooks the entryway. Well, we did that, but while we were tearing out the old, we both had the idea to extend the floor over the entryway making it a 10×11 usable area. This is going to become the “exercise” area (when we are done) and what I have as the current temporary exercise area will once again become a walk-in closet. This caused us some delay in the work project as a lot of discussion, measuring and visualization. We did put the handrail up, but it is now temporary. More because Mr. Binx and I are klutzes and well, we don’t need to go crashing down (although it would make for a funny story). Believe it or not, we did actually get some of the flooring done upstairs too.
