1903

Posted in: Uncategorized

QUESTION:  1903 is significant because it is . . .

A)  the year the first coast-to-coast automobile trip was completed

B)   the # of square feet in our “finishing project”

C)  the # of drops of stinky sweat per minute I produce during the hottest hours of our “finishing project”

D)  All of the above

ANSWER: D)  All of the above

As I stepped into the garage a bit ago, my dad was singing some stanzas from “Come, Come Ye Saints” (a church hymn).  The double meaning of the words did not escape our notice:

And should we die before our [project]’s through,
Happy day! All is well!
We then are free from toil and sorrow, too;
With the just we shall dwell!

917 square feet of staining down, 986 to go.  We then will apply a layer of topcoat, followed by some light “spot” glazing, and then two more layers of topcoat.

“All is well, all is well . . . “

    Just so you know how lame I am, the first thing I thought of was “1903 was significant because… Edward Cullen was 2 years old”. I seriously need to get Twilight off my brain.

    I’m glad to hear your project is going well. Keep up the good work! I’m excited to see the end result!

    I would love to see your project all done. It sounds like all that hard work well be worth it. Hey, I haven’t been avoiding you and I will get you that list of cleaning stuff as soon as I can find the catalog they just sent me. I hope all has been well with the Tolberts, it looks like you have been busy.
