Musings on a Small Life

I can see some light snow in the air right now; we're bracing for up to 40 cms (16 in) in our area, overnight and through tomorrow. All I can say is that Nicki and I had better be able to get to the vet and home again without problem come Thursday morning. Okay. I hauled out some leftover primer and slapped some on the wall in the area that would be behind the toilet. It's been 16 years since the room has been painted, and while I'm not yet ready to redo it (other things first), I at least wanted some primer on that part before the toilet goes back in place. Then I primed the vanity cabinet, since I can't replace it anytime soon, and then put a coat of the leftover melamine (?) paint I had used on the kitchen counter last year. I'm not putting a second coat on, at least not today.   I had just finished when the floor guy called to ask if he could pop over to check out the situation. The upshot is that he'll come Wednesday afternoon to cut aw...

And without any alcohol, either. Ha.    Do I qualify to assemble it?    Nicki checks out the finished product.   It came six days earlier than expected (was due on the 10th), and I took a taxi home with it (no problem re: a taxi this time, I booked ahead).  I'm pretty sure I have the inside cross bar "inside out", and probably another piece, but oh well. Good enough. It's okay, definitely not worth more than the Amazon price, though. I will say, however, that all the pieces were numbered and the screws, dowels, etc., were all in their own little bags, also numbered. The instructions were clear, and it was far easier to get together than Ikea products are. It just took me a while, as this sort of thing isn't my forte. It's a bit too heavy and awkward to put up on the wall myself, though, so I'll wait till I have helping hands.  :-) I could use a shot of rye now, but I'll settle for a hot shower and my cosy bed. Pea...

From Wayfair.ca this morning From Amazon.ca Take a guess as to which one I've ordered.  Peace .
