I'll finish painting the bathroom this weekend. I've tracked down a louvered vent cover to replace the rusted one on the ceiling now, and tomorrow I'll pick it up. No point in sanding and repainting this item that costs $7 new. Tonight's storms are now passing over the area, so I'm not opening the paint cans. It went on okay earlier this week, but took a lot longer to dry than I expected. It looks like the rain chances drop to about 20% over the weekend and in the foreseeable future.

I've finished carrying home disassessioned books I retrieved from the recycle bins at work. Several good-sized stacks. I'll redistribute them soon, one way or another. It's nine days till house guests arrive. It looks like the rain chances drop to about 20% over the weekend and in the foreseeable future.

The local power company is sponsoring free home energy assessments and they come through and caulk windows, spray in insulation, etc. I suspect I'm probably up to speed on most things except the windows. I could use new windows, but for now, I'll accept the offer to caulk the gaps. The front door has a gap with the edge also. I suspect they'll scratch their heads when they see my fireplace, blocked off completely with a sheet of insulation.

All of this wet weather seems to be contributing to aches and pains - partly because I can't get out and get my usual exercise. Perhaps this weekend I'll be able to contribute to the fitness component of this thread.
