whispercricketProject Bike-to-Work: Day Two. Quick summary: W00t!
Longer summary: Easier than day one (although getting on the bike in the morning was...not pleasant (luckily that went away after about five minutes). Time from work to home: 36 minutes. :) (inordinately pleased with herself)
Project Paint-the-House-Oh-Please: Quick summary: My house is grey! And it looks pretty!
Longer summary: Everything is done except for the two areas still waiting carpentry (and then prime and paint), which hopefully will happen Monday. Still need to walk around the house and review. I kind of wish that the lattice had been painted trim color instead of body color, but that's a nit-pick and worst case can be repainted next year if it still bothers me. (It's also a little strange not to have the trim on the porch window outlined in red, but that's an even easier change to make at pretty much any time.)
ETA: Although we have now reviewed the paint job to this point, and: 1) What idiots paint downspouts in the rain?, and 2) What idiots paint areas that are going to have shingle carpentry work done in under a week?, and 3) What idiots paint the sides and bottom of a (removable bottom piece of) downspout and not the top -visible- area? Obviously, the idiots we hired. Oh well. Heads will roll...
