Week ending 8/3/12

We didn't get much work done on our house this week.  We had some plans over the weekend and then on Monday I shaved Danny the dog.  It's a big deal in the summer - the dogs shed so much hair and it's a constant mess in the house.  A clean floor lasts less than a day.  It's also really hot for them in fur coats, so we keep them shaved for the hottest part of the year.  Here are three shots of me shaving Danny:

You can see how white he is in the last shot.  His fur is black but he has a white undercoat so he lightens up a lot when he gets his summer 'do.

On Thursday we helped supervise the crew installing the carpet at C's mom's house.  Here I am inspecting the floor after they tore the old carpet up:

Finally, on Friday we had the plumber over to clean out and adjust the bathroom vanity drain.  I don't know what our problem with drains is!  The tub drain has never worked right and this drain needs to be serviced by the plumber every year or so.  It just gets slower and slower and the plunger stops going up high enough to let the water out.  No wonder I can't get ahead!
