It's going to be cooler today. Woke up to 60 and dew on my car. It should get up to 69 with partial clouds. They are talking about the possibility of rain tonight and tomorrow. Doesn't look like that right now though.

Morning is long gone and afternoon is here. Still working on the cabinet painting job, and have one section complete. Also have the endcaps of the base cabinets, three sides of the island & all quarter round molding primed, and 2 coats of finish paint. Also have all the upper cabinet doors down, washed with trisodium phosphate, and ready for paint in the basement. Washed down the upper cabs with TSM as well. Pretty greasy around the stove & microwave, but it all came off down to the original finish.

No rain last night but it was pouring up north in Oakland. Today we have more Santa Ana winds. I've got to disconnect the computer and take it in for service. I'm sure that it has caught a virus. I'll hook up my laptop so I'll still be in touch.

Mrs. Zoom was looking over my shoulder and said she normally doesn't like painted cabinets but yours look nice.

She also complimented you on your purse. :gay: :loser:

I don't normally like painted either, but these are turning out nice. Everything i primed with Kilz then two finish coats of Glidden semi-gloss for woodwork.

That's just one of my work purses. When I get all gussied up, I pull out one of my Coach pursed to match my outfit. :gay::gay::gay::yum:

Good luck with it Leni.
What anti virus do you use? Does it cover adware too. Many time the adware sneaks by the anti virus. Have them insall malwarebytes or something along that line if you need adware protection.

It took me a while but I figured out how to get onto the internet with my laptop. I hooked it up to the cable but nothing happened. Tried internet explorer and that didn't work either. Then I tried Google Chrome and I was on. It's very slow but at least it works. As a non-geek I am very proud of myself for figuring it out. :clap: :yum:

That's why the semi-gloss paint. Fingerprints are easy to clean without hurting the finish.

Made some headway yesterday, and worked till 7 last night. The upper cabs & casement window are all primed, as are the pantry & laundry doorways. They will both get new 6-panel doors. The upper doors are finished on the inside, and have the face sides primed and ready for finish paint. Gonna try to get the first finish coat on the doors before me & Mrs JEV head to the mall for 3-4 mile walk. Haven't walked since Tuesday, but I've been moving all day with this kitchen project.

Good morning. Well. Afternoon now. The missus and I are just down at the library doing family research on ancestry.com. managed to trace some family back to the 1600's when they came over from France. Also some from Switzerland and Wales. Interesting stuff.

Don't work to hard PG.

That is pretty cool stuff Brian. I've only gotten back to the 1800's and then things got to confusing for my simple mind. If / when I retire I should have more time to dig into stuff like that.

Today, again, I'm on basement duty (game room, basement bed rooms). It all needs a good cleaning / rearranging top to bottom. We've stashed stuff down there over the past few months (old bedroom furniture, computers galore w/ parts, tables and bar stools that were replaced ... etc etc ) and now have to get it in decent order so we are ready for a turkey day party. This is the price I pay for procrastinating. If it weren't for the last minute nothing would done at all. :yum:

I'll be doing the usual housekeeping things that need to be done every day. After that it is FOOTBALL and knitting while I watch.

Went and picked up 10 bags of coal for the greenhouse. Won't need it or much wood for a few days as the big warm up is underway. Laid around watching football most of the day.

Good Morning + an hour (ish). Done working for the day and gonna relax by making some bread, macaroni salad and a slab of ribs for dinner. Upper cabinets & doors completed and hung this morning, as well as two door openings & jambs. Just the lowers do and I'll be done. While it might not look like it, I'm only half way done. Still have 12 doors and 14 drawer fronts to go. I'll get started on those Monday morning.

Jev i must admit being a lover of pine and natural wood it has amazed me....i did think it would look to clinical but it does look modern and fresh....it really does work.

I think the black up to the white was the winning factor.....great job sir.:tiphat::tiphat::thumb:

Morning folks, it's a toasty 8° outside right now and about 65° in the apartment. (I have to cover the air conditioner one of these days.) I made pancakes for breakfast and I have meals on wheels to do today. Not much else is going on so far. :biggrin:

It's 10F outside with a chill factor of -5F. I'm doing what any reasonable retiree would do under these circumstances:
staying inside where it's 68F and hoping for the balmy upper 20's tomorrow so my contractor can go back to work on our new
back stoop.

Temp is still falling, I still have to cover the A/C, but it is warm in the apartment. Not doing much today as meals on wheels have been cancelled because two of the sites that prepare the food are shut down do to no heat. So all I have to do is laundry. :w00t2:
