Week ending 6/12/09

I'm switching to a weekly post since our progress is now so slow. It will help me stay more current on the blog. Today as I'm posting this it is actually August 10, so I'm almost 2 months behind.

Monday and Tuesday I got nothing done due to being sick.

Wednesday I got notice that 1st shade is being shipped tomorrow! I did 15 minutes of sanding - I'm still feeling a bit sick but I wanted to at least make some small progress.

Thursday I spent an hour sanding windows. No wonder our progress is so slow - it took a full hour just to get the jamb and trim of 3 windows sanded. That's just one of three coats for that part of those windows. The upper sash, lower sash and jamb/trim all have to be done separately, with 3 coats with sanding and cleaning between plus final buffing at end.

Friday - Our internet has been down since 1:00 yesterday which is so inconvenient. I have to go to a coffee shop, library or Kinko's to do what I need to. I can't do banking, bills, etc. because it keeps going down, we keep fixing it and it goes down again. It's hard to diagnose problem when it's up and downtime is sporadic.

I managed to do 15 min of window/door sanding, trying to get last coat sanded. I finished at 9:15 but really wanted to at least do a little.
