It’ll be hot again in the afternoon, but it’s reasonable in the morning. Night is almost chilly with the damp near the water. It was 75F when I went to bed.<\/p>\n
Didn’t get much work done. More cleaning, with some floor scraping thrown in. There was a tiled area in front of the patio doors and the fireplace hearth that had a bunch of mortar still stuck to it. A new floor scraper with a razor sharp blade got rid of almost all of it. Old boy didn’t use a primer or adhesion promoter on the slab before tiling, so it didn’t stick as well as it could have. Of course such things might not have been available when he did the work.<\/p>\n
W got the tv and game systems set up and we played Simpson’s Road Rage for a while too. It’s a very fun game, even if the graphics look chunky. With video games it’s always more about the gameplay than the graphics, as long as they don’t distract. I enjoy playing older games when I do play.<\/p>\n
Today it’ll be birthday breakfast, then I’ll fix the last two bricks in place so we can finish the exterior trim around the window. The interior is done. The ceiling still needs repair and scraping, and then a new finish, but that will be a big messy job and will have to wait some more. This trip wasn’t really a big work trip, but a chance for W to spend time using the place with the kids.<\/p>\n
Gotta remember to stack up some good times too.<\/p>\n
