I planted the garlic. 216 cloves to be exact. I got it in the ground just as it started to storm. Good timing. I was running a few weeks behind this year (I normally plant it in mid-October), but I don’t think that will matter much.
bathroom remodel: day 31
Brian finished wiring the wall sconces this afternoon and started on the drywall. I found out part of the reason why we’re so behind on this project–as soon as we get a little bit ahead, we’re like “hey, we’re ahead, let’s stop working!” On the plus side, this allowed me to clean up my butterfly garden this afternoon and work on my Christmas cards. On the minus side, we’d probably be done by now if we’d just keep working.

Brian and I caught this documentary last week. It was really funny (or it would’ve been if it weren’t so true). Now I realize that you can make anyone look bad and Michael Moore is a liberal filmmaker, but he had so much material to work with, I don’t know how he cut the film down to two hours. I don’t think this film would influence anyone one way or the other (if so, maybe you ought to pick up a newspaper and read it), but it did bring up some good points. Anyway, I liked it and I don’t normally go for documentaries, so it’s worth a look if you’re already leaning to the left.
bathroom remodel: day 30
More electrical work was done this evening–the one sconce is hooked up and the other one is ready to hook up. That said, if it all works, we are set for the weekend. Hoo-rah.
bathroom remodel: day 29
This evening, Brian and I ran the wires for the wall sconces. So, that puts us in a good position to have the bathroom workable by Thanksgiving. We need to have the electrical stuff totally done by the end of this weekend in order for my revised schedule to work.
Lowe’s sent two delivery guys to the house today to pick up our vanity top. Brian talked to a real manager there yesterday and he says the holes can be plugged and new ones drilled. We’ll see. From what I’ve been reading about Corian, it does sound possible. Supposedly the turnaround time is going to be a week. We’ll see about that, too. We did learn one lesson–don’t even bother calling Lowe’s on a weekend if you have a problem with something. Waiting till Monday to call surely would’ve saved Brian a few points on his blood pressure.
