Work projects

Hmmmm...how did I get roped into this, anyway???

My last post mentioned buying paint for M's bedroom. Spent a whole weekend on that project, and it turned out well. :) That same Sunday, DH cut the lumber for the loft bed. He brought it home that evening and set it up in the garage and said (paraphrasing) "Okay, it's all ready for you two to sand and stain". :O Huh? I thought you said that morning, that you were going to do all that at the farm so it wouldn't be so messy at the house!

So, guess who ended up sanding and staining--AND varnishing--the damn bed (with a little help from the boy)?! I slapped the varnish on Thursday evening, and it got the opportunity to dry really well all weekend, since we were all gone out of town. Then, this morning, DH says, "There's some pretty rough spots on that bed--it should probably have a swipe of some steel wool done to it" (hint, hint). So I told to have at it, cuz I had to go to work today. :p

Guess who had to go out and buy some steel wool and brought it home this afternoon. And, guess who is conveniently out of town today, doing a "rainy-day" project?! Uhhh, yeah--that would be ME who's now been elected to fine sand the damn bed. Good thing I got little hands to help me as soon as I'm done writing this. Hey, if he wants to sleep in it tonight, he better get out there and help! ;)
