Haha Janet I just watched Big Brother!
Diana, I hope this program helps Damon. At least something proactive is happening and he is admitting he needs the help.
I decided to drive into the city for the doctor this morning. It turns out I have blepharitis, an infection of my eyelash follicles. I got some drops to use for 7 days so hopefully it clears up!
I had to run around to a couple of stores to find some new sandpaper belts for the sander we're using on the deck. Scott called me saying he had already broken two! So I bought out all the rest in the store when I found them
Now he has 11 extras to break!
When I got home I used some new chemical stipper stuff on the deck stairs and it kind of worked but instead of just lifting it off the wood, it kind of made it into goo and I had to scrape it off. Scott only got about 6 boards totally sanded... it's going to take awhile. We will work on it in the evenings this week I guess. The paint is such a dark green color, and it's hard to sand in the cracks between the boards. I guess some of it will just show through. We bought some stain to apply when all the sanding is done, but it's semi-transparent. I think it's called woodland cedar.
Now I'm just tired. It's been a busy weekend!
