Posted in renovations..

Friday morning we spent picking out supplies again. We got an interior door for the bathroom, trim and baseboards, along with some brad nails. Because of the length of these items, we rented the Home Depot van to get them home. It took longer than we planned but it got done. Then I played chauffeur a bit and tried to fit a few maintenance things into the day as well.

Saturday was a LONG, hot day. I painted all those baseboards and the trim out in the backyard. It didn't take long for the shade to disappear and I managed to make myself feel quite ill by mid-afternoon. I had become red in spite of the sunscreen I had used and also acquired a huge splitting headache. At this point I laid down for a while in a dark room with an ice pack on my head. By suppertime I was feeling enough better that we could go to the neighbours' house for supper.

Today the headache has returned so it has become a day of rest - as it should be. A fair bit was accomplished in spite of feeling so ill. In addition to the painting, the trim was installed and the bathroom baseboards.
