we were busy this weekend, and even i can say i did some tangible schtuff. take, for instance, these beauties. 2 cans of spray paint and one whopper of a headache later, the beams in the basement are CONCEALED - you can't even see them, can you???

and this is the OTHER huge thing i did - mainly on my own. mark was quite concerned that i damage the siding that was removed. cuz, even though we're only going to re-use a fraction of what came off, we MIGHT have a need for it. i swear, we're going to have to build another shed, just for all the "GOOD" wood we are keeping (ya never know...)

see? i CAREFULLY laid each and every board down on the ground, nails pointing down. of course, the minute the dawg sees the poodles walking by, she'll clomp all over the pile. or children. not ours, of course, cuz they're mostly gone this week, but others. a pile is a pile to be trod upon...

and then we did a lot of work in the garage (den). well, actually, markus detritus did most of the garage/den work - INCLUDING removing much of the detritus. of course, we're working around the rest of it - i'm sure it won't be removed till the night of the 24th, before the carpet guys are scheduled...

busy busy weekend, yah?
