FLOOR PROJECT

USUALLY I HAVE MY FALL “TO DO” LIST DONE BY CHRISTMAS, BUT NOW THAT I’M NOT SLAPP’IN JACKS FIVE DAYS A WEEK I’M BEHIND. GO FIGURE !

THE LAST THING ON THE LIST WAS TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE PORCH FLOOR. LAST SUMMER’S MONSOON RAINS SOME HOW WASHED THE SAND BASE OUT FROM UNDER THE PORCH FLOOR. OF COURSE, ACCORDING TO MURPHY’S LAW THE AREA THAT COLLASPED WAS UNDER THE CUPBOARDS.

 

ALL THE CUPBOARDS SIT ON A BASE OF EIGHT FOOT TWO BY FOURS, SO NOT JUST THE CORNER, BUT THE WHOLE WALL OF CUPBOARDS HAS BE DISASSEMBLED.

 

NOW I GOT SHIT PILED UP EVERYWHERE:

 

BEFORE:

 

AFTER:

OUT TO THE DESERT TO DIG UP TWO FIVE GALLON BUCKETS OF FINE SAND, DIG OUT THE PAVERS, REPLACE THE SAND, AND RE-LAY THE PAVERS. EASY RIGHT? YUP!

BUT NOW THE CUPBOARDS ALL NEED TO BE SCRUBBED, REVARNISHED, AND RESET ON THE TWO BY FOURS. BESIDES THAT THE BACKSPLASH ON THE COUNTER TOP NEEDS TO BE REGLUED.

AT 75 DEGREES, IT’S GOING TO BE A WEEK LONG PROJECT WITH THAT NEW WHITE SCOOTER JUST  CALLING MY NAME……
