We are currently in the middle of nesting in our 95% complete bedroom on the first floor. There is very little to say about such a spectacular event really. The fact that we're sleeping in a roomy, organized living space free of construction materials, the grinding and sanding dust, and war zone like feel of living in a bombed out shelter. Well.. you get the idea.
All that is but a memory now as I collect my storage organizers and get ready to bring my wardrobe back from storage. I've been living with a couple of outfits that I can go into public with. The few clothes I've kept have been dedicated work clothes.
Jim is being a good sport about the nesting. He came home tonight from work at Tettegouche State Park and found his junk drawer was no more, his night stand organized and socks, shirts and shorts folded neatly in his drawers. It drives him crazy...
I am getting geared up for my next big push to finish grinding and sanding our future kitchen. Jim is finishing up the chinking, trim work and electrical in the bedroom closet in between wood runs to stoke the home fires. This La Niña winter in northern Minnesota has been more 'dramatic' than most we hardy types are used to.
I'll save the war stories of science experiments conducted on the logs for another post. Let's just say, it was a learning experience and working with dead fall logs where no living tree was harmed is different than using newly felled trees used by most log home builders.
It was a long, drawn out process but now I know the secrets to replicate the good results I finally achieved with the logs. New green products ended up being the gold standard that WORKED when the toxic or questionable chemicals I tried were useless. But more about all that later...
Life is grand this week! I'm getting ready for a long winter's nap in our warm, clean, newly finished bedroom. Sweet dreams from Raspberry Ridge Bed and Breakfast. Lights out.
