Exhaustion!

Oh boy, am I tired!

Wednesday we had some toilet issues and we haven't had the mechanical use of our toilet since then. We have been using the ole' dump a bucket of water down the bowl method. Dave came over today to fix the problem and ended up replacing the entire toilet. Of course 18 Steeplechase was not nice to him and there were a few issues and at least one trip to TrueValue but the toilet is in. (No, I was not the first to use the toilet this time.... a blast from my very distant past! :))

Matt stained the deck today so that makes letting the pups go to the bathroom difficult but what a sacrifice! The deck looks really nice!

While Matt worked on the deck I worked on the front window. We bought some sandpaper and I went to town sanding all of the old paint off. I think the window has been repainted at least 3 or 4 times without sanding so this is NOT an easy task! When Matt came in from staining he picked up a piece of sandpaper and started to help. I had to laugh because he got 1/4th of a window pane done and he was looking for a power tool that could do the job quicker! I laughed because it made me think of Tim the Tool Man and his manly grunt. I do have to admit though that it will make the window project go quicker.

Now, we are off to Schnucks to buy our weekly groceries and then we will call it a day. For those of you that know us well this was not a typical day at the Lucas household! With a little TLC and elbow greese we will get this house looking sharp and ready for the FOR SALE sign.

LOVE and MISS you all!
