Today started out like any normal Thursday. We got up, showered, had breakfast and were ready for the day. What normally happens is my "handyman" takes off to work somewhere else. The past few weeks it's been for Habitat for Humanity. But today....he didn't leave!! He actually stayed home and worked on a few projects around here! We bought a queen size mattress to replace the double in the guest room and he had to adapt the frame to fit the larger mattress since I wanted to keep the headboard/footboard. He had been working on it for a while, but got it finished today. My garage floor has been emptied of all the leftover junk from projects. Now this will be short lived as tomorrow a friend is returning a table and 4 chairs they had borrowed while their furniture is in storage in Illinois while they build a new house here. Handyman has also ordered windows for the porch at the cabin that will be in next week and those will be stored in my garage. Some door facings on the workshop and storage building and a birdhouse had been in dire need of paint, so they each got one coat. My fountain had been running low again so he fixed that. Not sure if that's all he accomplished but he worked around here most of the day.
I normally don't get much out of him during the week, so it really did mess with my mind. All day I've thought it was Saturday since he was here working and not out working for someone else.
I guess this is what retirement could look like if he stayed home all the time.....not!! I couldn't keep him this busy all of the time so I guess it's good that he has his projects away from home.
Now, when is Saturday?
Glad you all got some projects finished at home too!
