Long and Tedious
We’re still working on finishing up the hallway, and we’re really not half finished. I’ve painted walls, I’ve painted trim, I’ve painted doors. And a couple of those things in certain areas need another coat – but I’m not doing that right now – I’m a little painted out.
At the moment we’re just trying to get all the doorknobs on. My snookey is just working at getting the deadbolt screws on the back door. At least if that’s on, I’ll feel a little more secure about that. Right now we’re trying to figure out which knob is for what door.
Since my son has been staying with us, we haven’t had the alarm on. I guess we don’t want to share the code with him because then we’d only have to change it again and it’s a pain in the ass trying to come up with a code that we’ll both remember, keeping in mind how many other codes and passwords I have to keep in my head.
Oh, speaking of codes, my facebook page was hacked the other night. I got a message that I changed my password at 3:01 a.m. in Canada. At 3:01 a.m. in Canada I was in my air conditioned bedroom, sleeping in Canada, so it wasn’t me. I had to go through a few hoops to change everything over on that.
Anyway, back to the hallway. Tonight we were supposed to put up the chair rail. We started with one wall and my snookey was levelling it. But when we went back to the marks we’d made, that thing might as well have been vertical, that’s how ‘not straight’ it was. These things also need staining, but he’s talking about taking them down to the garage to do it. Well, Mister, there’s no air conditioning in the garage and it’s damned muggy here. Needless to say I ended up saying that I wasn’t in the mood to do that stuff tonight – so he can just work on doorknobs as far as I’m concerned.
After the chair rails we’re going to have to wallpaper the half-wall to hide the flaws in the drywall, but, of course, that’ll take at least a few days (until we actually get around to doing the chair rails). This little job has turned into something that’s probably going to take us a month to do. It would help if my snookey didn’t have to go off every Saturday, cuz I don’t feel much like working every night after work.
That’s my update. I’ve got to go out into the hallway cuz my snookey just asked, “did this deadbolt ever work?” Yes it did. We always used it to lock that door.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
