Weekend Projects

We started on the Smokehouse!!! 1st pic is the “Before.” James started with the white trim. He was going to stop there yesterday but he couldn’t help himself and had to put up some red too - basically those spots that are too narrow to use the paint sprayer on. Then he found a lot of damage under the left window so he cut some new clapboards and replaced them.

I was going to finally finish the bunkhouse door, so when I got back from my walk he had taken it off the hinges and laid it flat so that I could scrape off the loose bits, sand it down with the palm sander, and finally paint it. Which means when re-hung, the bunkhouse will finally be done.

Anyhow, while scraping and painting I found the original keyhole that had been covered over in old paint! I used an artist brush to paint around it and the door handle. I think I’ll probably go back with some sand paper or paint remover and see if I can’t get the old paint off them. I should just take them off and boil them. That’s way easier. Maybe next weekend.

Finally, I’d seen that photo of a similar but white little building and I was like “that would look so cute under the stain glass window on the smokehouse!” and sure enough, he used some scraps and built me a little balcony to hang on the front of the smokehouse! He’s so talented

We’re going to be smart, though, and hang it after both the wall and balcony are painted! We just need some staging so we can reach up there.

That will probably be the end of the outdoor painting projects for this year. It’s getting colder every day and paint doesn’t go on very well (or dry well) when you get under the 50s. I was hoping to re-paint the barn, but I think we’ll leave that til Spring.

Choices! So many projects to do; we’re always having to juggle importance, weather, and fundage. It’s like DIY triage.

Most people will tell you that giving your pets any kind of medication in pill form is an absolute nightmare, meanwhile I have the exact opposite problem.

A friend of mine was watching my cat Mim while I was travelling this weekend and when he went to split her weekly allergy pill (made to split into 4 small pills when you press down on it with a finger) to give her the usual 1/4, he fumbled it and sent it skittering across the floor where my ridiculous pill-loving menace of cat immediately gobbled down the whole thing, leading to me receiving a panicked phone call at 11 pm from said friend who was understandably freaking out (everyone’s fine, a single high dose won’t cause any problems as long as it’s just this once).

Behold: the villain herself, basking in the success of her crime (she’d be planning her next pill-related heist but, as you can see if you look closely, there’s there’s nothing but elevator music behind those eyes)

Silver is finally here...he just took the title for the most beautiful card in TWST's history...

me five years ago: wow I really hope we get to see dragon Malleus someday! that'll be so nice and wonderful. I bet he's a big silly! :)

twst: :)

GOD. it occurred to me literally three hours before the anniversary stream that they might've been saving the reveal for then to just explode us all at once. this timing was EXTREMELY deliberate. thank you Twst. I can't even focus on all the Blazing Jewel stuff because Silver wielding the physical manifestation of his Complicated Dad Issues is busy eating my entire brain. and -- oh what's that? he duos with Lilia? I'M RUINED THANK YOU ᕕ( ᐕ )ᕗ

this is your warning that I'm going to be the most annoying person on the planet come Monday morning, thank you everybody and goodniiiiiiight
