Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn
So there's a lunar eclipse in my sign, so there's so much to do. Blah, blah, Eeyore, blah, blah.
But the floors look great. The tenant is moving in. The trim is up. The carpet is down. And but for a little cleaning and running up and downstairs and taking photos, we are done. Phew. Almost.
In other UNBELIEVABLE news (in fact I am not getting my hopes up because I do not believe it) the wiener shop owner might have a potential buyer of his business. And word on the street is they own another restaurant in South County, RI and have money with which they mean to renovate the place. So this might be really cool.
The next week is full everyday with more than we could possibly do. But do it we shall, and inform you we will.
So Much, So Little
Back from the island of Block. Major finishing of the storefront so it can be ready for the Martial Arts Dude to open his doors. Today The Momma Bear left at 7 AM and I walked the dog. The Chris finished retouching pictures from a shoot while I primed and painted trim. Then there was more walking the dog. Then The Momma Bear's tire blew out. Then I fought with the the floor guy and made him reduce his price. Then Chris installed a thermostat. The the toilet in the storefront was leaking. Then we called the plumber to come on Monday (new, local plumber, we'll see). Then I got a last minute call from a client who needs 40 pieces by next week. Then I started production on said pieces. Then there was the arguing about laying the carpet. The there was the learning how to lay carpet. Then there was the laying of the carpet. More on that tomorrow. Then there was the case of the mis-hung hinges. The case remains until tomorrow. There was also lots of vacuuming. Then the client came to pick up the disk of the retouched images. Then the dog got into our room and peed on the bed. Then washed the comforter. Then I tried to dry it. The drying will continue throughout the night. Now there is the preheating of the oven for the pizza and then there will be the pizza eating, the cleaning up of the kitchen, the unloading of the diswasher, the starting of the tumbler, the walking of the dog and the brushing of the teeth and the going to bed. I am sure I skipped a few things.
Just in case you wondered what we were up to today...

Such Nice Wood
If you haven't heard, we are scrapping old asbestos linoleum of an old floor in order to have the ancient hardwoods refinished so that I can remain the default heir (so Barrett can threaten Cate) of the Tiffany Necklace. It has been long, long, hard days and we are sore in strange places and blistered in others. The sander is here now and we are please. THE WOOD IS GOOD!
Saturday's Excursion
On Saturday we actually got to work all day on one of C's shoots.
Now, looking back it seems like a vacation. SO much better than hammering asbestos vinyl tiles of of douglas fir planks, which I'm headed to do right now.
As I am writing this, the streetlights are still on in downtown Woonsocket.
I guess it is pretty early.
Queen of Woonsocket
Her Majesty is resting while we rip out more of the floor along with some 19 year olds who have a tad more stamina. Thanks to the heat gun provided by Flip and some prybars we are finally making some headway. It's not a glamorous job. Pictures to come.

How it Was
This is how it was, unfortunately, now not how it is. But though it was once this way we can now remember the former pleasure of it being like that. Though today is surely not the way it was, it is certainly the way it is. Which is not as depicted above.
