Hickory Clouds Under Our Feet

And Now Back To Our Regularly Scheduled Program.....

The Floor

We spent so much time on the prep that I was beginning to think that we would never actually lay wood down. But we have.

Let me back up a tad. We completed the upstairs floor months ago and have slated this trip to complete the downstairs floor. Well, that or at least the living room/kitchen/dining room, and the hallway. SuperMoto was, as you might expect, Mr Science about it all. He was calculating whether the outside walls were parallel to the inside walls down to the 1/16".

FREAK!!

However, at the point of installation that we went to bed the first night, looking down from above, it looks perfectly straight, so FREAK, paid off.

Thanks SuperMoto!!

Where Closet Dreams Come True

I

Yes people, we have successfully arrived. We received the cabinets and we have installed the closet system, we have done some flooring and SuperMoto has gone back east to work.

I am so loving our new closet system. It is pretty, it is industrial, it was easy to install.

(since we kept our heads steadily in the game)

We Laughed...

We Cried...

We installed an Elfa Custom Closet System...

Great fun was had by all, see....

The Mattress

So, just about now you might be wonder what is keeping us focused. I have one word for you...

KLUFT

What the heck is a KLUFT you might be asking? Well, I will tell you. It is the most wonderful, most comfortable, the most heavenly mattress in the world.

When you lay on this mattress is is like having the most wonderful squishy, squeezy, bear hug

you have ever had. It is like a massage and a sauna, and a cloud all surrounding you.

When SuperMoto is in Washington D.C. and I am home alone I go to bed so early, just to climb into this wonderful haven.

There is nothing better after working hard all day than a really hot shower and a lounge on my Kluft.

So, when you are wondering what I am focusing on. Just picture me luxuriating in my bed after a hard day's work.

Of course, when SuperMoto, Myself, and the Geodog all climb on....that is an entirely different story.

The Return Home

I noticed during our hiatus that I have felt like I was missing home.

HOME

There has been a shift in my thinking this year. I now consider California my time filler and San Juan Island my home.

We are on our way there soon. There for Thanksgiving. Of course all we are going to do is work. The main floor is our focus. We start with receiving cabinets, tearing out the carpet, tack strip, baseboards, hardwood flooring, ripping out the kitchen, installing new plumbing and electric, laying the heated floor, painting, installing cabinets, fabrication of counters, installation of counters.

EEK! I feel so tired thinking about it all.

I will keep you posted while we are there for sure. More from me in a week.
