The actual painting is finished, except for a couple of vent covers that will be done out in the garage. Today we do the puttering-style of clean-up. We have to re-hang the drapery hardware ( not a pleasant job), but we were able to to find some of the small runners to use to hang the drapes in Home Depot. One thing we've learned is that we are far more likely to find the things we need in Home Depot than Rona. This presents a quandry, as we've always considered that shopping at Rona is shopping Canadian, although this may not be strictly true any more. We need to dust and vacuum before much funiture goes back. I think there might be quite a bit of sorting done too, before a big trip to the thrift store.
Our next major job will be to shampoo all of the carpeting. This will probably wait a few weeks, as long as it's done before snowfall.
But the big news--ta da--we had rain last night! A hard and wild "gully-washer" that lasted for a good twenty minutes. Lots of thunder and lightning. Black, black clouds. But if you look out today there is no evidence. It probably came so fast and hard, that it just ran off the dry earth, without sinking in at all.
So what was I grateful for yesterday? Doesn't matter. I was just grateful!
