Christmas Countdown - 2015

[MerryCarey]

I made a nice (heavy) breakfast for everyone; Ham steak, Fried potatoes and onions, eggs and cheese and Bagels and coffee...I got all the dishes washed, table and counters all wiped down, finishing my 2nd cup of coffee this morning and then it's time for work.

Gotta a list and I'm checking it twice. I have plans to sand down some walls and possible spackle some more, if needed, remove some light switches and install some occupancy sensors in heir place, work in the basement some and also install a new light, dimmer switch in Victoria's bathroom. Yes, a handyman's job is never done....

It's a good day to stay inside anyhow, that's for sure. Well, time to get to work, I stop by here later on to say hi and see how everyone is making out today! Especially with Xmas, Merry, HMG and others here, with that blizzard raging in New England~
I sure hope no one loses their power, IE....and their heat....

Enjoy your handyman-ing!

Happily, we still have power and heat. My main worry is the new snow load on the roof, and whether the ice dams will cause indoor leaking. Our plow guy shoveled off our roof Friday and cut channels in the ice dams for drainage, but I don't know if they're still open after the storm. The total accumulation of snow is so overwhelming that I haven't set foot outdoors. It kinda disturbs me to look out the windows. This is an epic winter for sure.

I have that same cold, just glad I have today and tomorrow off.
It is wonderful that Mrs Hilda is recovered enough to come home again.

I hope you feel better soon, Star!!!!

Good sunday morning! This morning when I woke up Brandi' gave me my belated vday present, I think she wanted to think she forgot, but I really didn't even think about it. She talked me into taking Monday and Tuesday as yet 2 more personal days and go into the Utah wilderness at 10,000 ft atltitude where there is suppose to be very very cold temps..we have rented a cabin with just a fireplace and bedroom, for 2 days away from civilization! this is what I was just talking about wanting so much. so we are leaving without the kids(which will be hard I know) but I think it will do us both some good. she is out of school mon and Tuesday anyways for winter break as they call it at her new school. I will bring my computer but the say reception is shotty. But I just wanted to tell yall. THey are talking about maybe some ice there Monday night too, as long as we don't loose electicity. Well I better go get ready for mass...have a great sunday everyone!

That is a wonderful gift!! I hope you guys have a great time, Dawg!!!!

That graphic describes my morning exactly!

I can't believe the depth of the snow, the lethal-looking icicles, the cold, the wind … so I've been spending the morning with British drama and hot tea. I just want this winter to go away and stop attacking us. Eastern MA is in a bad way.

I am so ready for this winter to end too. I has only "warmed" up to -34c (-29f) today.
Glad you are keeping warm and hope that you have no trouble with your roof.

Good afternoon from the frigid midwest! laying:

Praying all is well with everyone!

All is well here. Very busy and it isn't going to let up any time soon. Good thing I like to be busy, isn't it?!

Be warm and MERRY!!! :merry:

Good Afternoon folks, I'm sort of taking a break from caulking, spackling and sanding. I have completely taken everything out of the main floor powder room, and am almost done prepping it, so that Lisa can paint tomorrow.

But, slight problem, I have to head to Lowes, have to get another toilet bowl wax ring. I was leaning on the toilet and the dawg gone thing shifted/ twisted about an inch, that's not good. Once a toilet bowl does that, your supposed to put in a new wax ring. Well, maybe it was meant to be, because your supposed to replace them about every fifteen years and it been in there now for almost 12, so, there you go. Have to do it anyhow!

And might as well do it, since we are re-painting and such in there.

I still have plans to work on the electrical stuff yet today, maybe I can get to that later this afternoon or early evening hours... Well, off to Lowes...

I see Maryland is covered under the "never" portion....LOL!!!! I love it Made, Good One!!!!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the next storm that is coming my way Monday night into Tuesday Night. It keeps on shifting North as the computer models keep on updating. I just went from 1-3 inches to the 3-6 inch category... I would be thrilled to get into the 6-12 range~

That's not so far from the truth! Cheesy

Well, not really. But it's getting there!

Actually, that bump is the Boston Public Library, I think. I worked near there for a few months.
