April was interesting from a weather viewpoint. The extremes: we had a few very warm days: 81 (tied the record) and several cold overnight temps below freezing: 18 (also a record). The slab heat has been working perfectly for over a month now. We have the house adjusted so it is 69-70 in the living areas, 64 in the spare bedrooms, and 67 in our bedroom. Carole prefers her shop at 69 and I’m happy to have the shop at 65. I wear a sweatshirt if necessary to save on propane instead of keeping the shop temps appropriate for a t-shirt and shorts. The boiler only comes on briefly at any given time during the day/night.
The armoire/liquor cabinet project is complete and delivered to Mary Beth, Susan’s bff. Getting that project done, has allowed me to begin focusing on a large wall of bookshelves for the living room This project should have been completed as a winter task, but I’m being a lazy bitch. I won’t bore this audience with lame excuses. I will declare it now: I will complete this significant project by the end of April. It’s not just bookshelves surrounding the flat screen TV, the project also includes constructing an audio rack for upgraded equipment I’ve been acquiring to enjoy our significant collection of vinyl albums.
I’m eager to get going on outdoor projects this year. We still have a lot to do…
The picture for this month’s summary is the current condition of the living room’s north wall. The April summary will be the same picture AFTER installing the shelves and audio rack.
