What did you do today?

The step looks better with the carpet instead of brick. Looked like it was part of a surround for a fireplace before. Wallpaper is interesting. LOL. Much nicer than the wallpaper in my house. Only places in my house you can see wallpaper are behind the freezer and in the hallway near my room. It came with the house and we never bothered to get rid of it.
You can see it in this photo to the left behind my cat Yasuke.

I went to the post office but there was no mail. Went to the store. Mom wanted bread. Brother wanted milk. So I got those plus some stuff to cook later and also got a piece of cake, ice cream, and a chocolate milk for my brother since it's his birthday. Bro sat down and had his cake with a big bowl of ice cream.

I'm resting a bit before putting away the food I cooked earlier. Itsy (one of the cats) wanted to "help" by walking on the controls, changing the temperature settings, and licking the spatula. She also purred and made noises at me while I was cooking to let me know she was there and wanted attention and food.

American traitors, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Ben Sasse, Pat Toomey, Mitt Romney and Cassidy are the senators who voted for impeachment.

Why do these Democrats idiots want to prove that they are idiots. Occasional Cortex stated that for a couple of weeks she had received emails from other members of Congress warning about something like this happening.
The FBI and the NYPD won the Capital police that this might happen
People brought back from sledgehammers to break the windows.
It's obvious to anyone with a brain that every bit of this was pre-planned.
Have their tiny little minds make this about Trump inciting violence? It was called a takeover or attempted coup in the media and that's what the Democrats in charge keep calling it. That group of crazy people that stormed the capital we're not organized any way shape or form . That said how could this be an attempted coup?
Nancy Pelosi is in charge of the capital police. What do you think she knew about this a week or two before this event? Wouldn't it be funny if Pelosi had knowledge of the FBI's warnings?

This whole thing is just a Democrats proving how much they hate Trump. They didn't like him calling them the swamp. The media doesn't like being called fake news.

 

[Floorist]

The Democrats only have 56 votes so far, they need 67.

 

[highup]

...... But they're not going to get 67. It was obvious a long time ago they were never going to get the votes needed.
How come I know they're making fools out of themselves and they don't?

Hey Zan, here you go. Bethany plays the drums.

Hey anybody home? No posts in 2 days? Just checking if everyone is ok.

 

[zannej]

Thanks!
Man, it's cold here. Friend helped me put up some Reflectix and quilted moving blankets to insulate things a bit. I'm going to be using cats as warmers tonight. LOL.
Took Mom for her vaccine & grabbed takeout from burger king bc I didn't feel like cooking. I had to unload all the bottled water and cat food from the truck. Brother was supposed to help but he wouldn't. I'm about to take a nap under my pile of cats.

We're working hard. Stained the top caps of my retaining walls, them spent 2 hours caulking and touch up in the kitchen. We've been living out of boxes the last week cuz the kitchen has been repainted. After and before pics.

Everything maybe it was you!
I did a restretch today location was 5 milrs out of cell range. Between some tall hills. I installed a Garmin like app on my phone called Waze. It directed me all the way out to the house. When the app said arriving at destination, there was a roadblock. From a short distance away I thought it was a cable across the road.
Well it was sort of a cable
The cable was connected to a fence and a post and a goat.
Looks like he made about four laps around the post before he decided to kick back and enjoy the weather.

The restrrtch was actually because the carpet edge against the hardwood was beginning to have some loose threads come out. Installation is only about a year old, possibly less. Why don't guys put seam adhesive in the gully when they use tack strip in a situation like this?

Looks good
Would you like to come and do our kitchen now as we have those cupboard doors with the bits of wood around

 

[DarisMulkin]

Dont forget to share it around your friends

I never have put sealer in the gully. They started that with berbers when they were popular. Reason not to: what if you need to pull that edge up for like a restretch as you are doing. You could have a raveling mess or even rip the carpet trying to get it up. I just nudge the tackless a little closer and drive the carpet in.

 

[DarisMulkin]

Hav tell me you didn't paint those beautiful stained cabinets. I love stain and wood grain not paint. I hate painting but not staining on my own projects.

 

[havasu]

I hated to paint them but 3 companies wanted over $10k just to strip and restain.

Beautiful day. 10F -6 WC. Got my first covid shot yesterday.

The seam adhesive soaks into the backing. I did a test once and it released from the plywood without much effort.
