Gone to Maine

I'll be back when I'm married. See you in July!

Updates (pic heavy)

I forgot where these pictures were (on my sweetie's camera). The amazing difference blocking can make to a scarf.Staining, polyurethaning, and drying all the trim required some creative positioning.
And before we could put it up, we had to plaster where the old plaster fell away when we took down the trim.

Farewell, green couch

Tomorrow afternoon, someone is coming to pick up my couch. It's a nice couch, it's been very helpful and many times it has even pinch-hit as a spare bed, but it's time to go live somewhere else. I'm leaving it for a new model. My sweetie has a nicer couch and we're going to keep that and get rid of this one. *sigh* Time marches on.


In other interesting news, I would like to share a home-improvement tip: if you are, for example, somewhat careless when applying polyurethane to trim boards and get some on your ring finger right where your ring is...some minutes later you may find the ring is fixed to your finger. Pulling frantically as you imagine toxins seeping into your body helps remove it. Not, of course, that anyone would need this hint. Pictures of all the work we've been doing comes tomorrow (my sweetie has the camera at his place)!
