Re: Express your Gratitude
I'm grateful the scraping and painting is over. Grateful my hubs did most the work, especially on last day. Grateful I remained sober. Grateful I continue to learn and apply ODAAT.
[MENTION=22385]ssd858[/MENTION] - It's still very hot here. Scraping and painting needed to be done early. Back in house by noon or 1ish. This wasn't a whole house project. That was done around 7-8 yrs ago. We did it ourselves with a friends help. Applied with top of line paint. With time, paint bubbles, cracks and peels. Our home is older with tapered cedar. The north side is shaded. No work needed. :smile: It was around 25-30 hours of time to correct. Glad it's over. Next house/condo will have siding. Maybe brick. Ah.. wait, a log cabin by river that feeds into Pacific Ocean. A girl can dream. If this crazy hot weather continues, hope you guys find a way to put in AC. We added it in 2015, when we replaced our old furnace. It's a two stage. Our bill has only gone up about $15 a month. Lower heating costs in winter. We also received a tax incentive. One of thee best investments we ever made. Told hubs back in 2015 with hot summers from 2013-2014, either we add central AC or I'm moving. Graves with menopause is not tolerable for either of us. Having wi-fi thermostat is nice. Can control and change settings. If you guys ever do decide to add AC. I did a ton of research. Most important is install. Many units come off the same assembly line. Slap on a different label. Example: Carrier is also Bryant. Trane: Best for commercial. Residential costs are very high. Paying for their advertising, over head costs and name. Hope it cools down for everyone soon. :grumpy: Ready for fall.
[MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION] - Hope you slept better!... Hope your prayers are answered soon!.... Praying for you.... I took a 5mg time released Melatonin Sat night. I did finally fall asleep. Was able to go back to sleep after three trips to bathroom. Par for the course with me. :sighbubble: I had a nightmare that our youngest daughter died. She was young. Guess, why I wasn't horribly disturbed. I felt horrible Sun. Felt drugged. Thankful, hubs got up early to finish project. Have been an insomniac for years. When I'm worried even worse. I'm going to try L-Glycine again. Do you take anything to help? Chronic lack of sleep is the worst. :hug:
