Friday Catch Up

This week has somehow flown by...it's Friday already!  Mr. Seventies has been busy patching, sanding & painting!  He has finished all the window frames...with the exception of the main bath.  He has gone room by room...removing the shutters & hardware...repairing any scrapes and applying three coats of paint to the frames (and cleaning windows at the same time).  We are replacing the magnetic hardware used for the shutters...and needed to order more.  They take about a week to come in...and the gentleman at the window covering store decided to order them in to have on stock.  Smart idea buddy....

The guest bedroom has been painted as well...and I'm loving the soothing olive green colour...and the duvet cover set is beautiful quality...(the shutters have not been re-installed...waiting on the magnet closures)..and door casings and base mouldings have yet to be completed.  We are still waiting for the casings to come in...they are milled here....but lumber is in short supply.

The completed rooms are the kitchen, family room, hallway and front entry...and the new ceiling fixtures for the bedrooms are installed. No more "boob" lights!!  And the new family room chair has been shipped...but delivery is not expected until mid May.  I don't take much stock in that...I've been notified with long arrival dates for other items...and the item is received the next day!  It will be here when it gets here...

I purchased lamps for the family room as well...love the beautiful colours in them...all found in the area rug...

The crocus are blooming...adding a nice pop of colour outside...our snow is pretty much gone...

I read a local article the other day advising that pool installations for the 2021 season...are full.  They are taking installation orders for 2022!  With people staying home...they are deciding to enjoy their back yards and have a pool installed.  As well...they warned pool chemicals and supplies are in short supply.

I did an online order at a local store for chlorine, algicide and chlorine pucks...we have some on hand...but don't want to run out mid season...we have plenty on hand now.  

Going to be a beautiful, warm sunny day...followed by days of cloudy weather and rain...so going to get out & enjoy this weather while we can!  Liesel & I have been enjoying walks daily...

Have a great weekend where ever you are!!
