Plan to paint the remaining window frame in here this afternoon. Once that's done, the lounge is finally finished. One room left, it's a pity I left the worst to last. I am over this reno thing, over it.  I will say going from dreadful dark paneling to a lighter color makes an amazing difference. It's just the work to get it there I detest; two coats of primer and one of paint. Would be lovely to have the Sims paint tool

 

Herself is over it for sure. It's not a huge room, and I've no where to put stuff, so I have been just pulling things away from the wall, painting behind them, and putting them back. Cartons everywhere, utter upheaval, and she has a well established and entirely earned mistrust of those.

At least the last room in at the other end of the house, and we aren't actually trying to live in the middle of the mess.

 

I am appropriating Himself's desk, and my sewing table will actually be used as one for the first time since I've been here. Which is to say it will become a flat surface I will load junk onto.

 

I  ought to mow this evening, but given the heat warning I don't think I will. It was still 97 at midnight last night, and I am not that nuts.

 

The new neighbors have really stiffened my resolve in regard to moving on. 7 children, although the number seems to vary, three adults who seem to be there most of the time. Several yappy little dogs who go on and on for hours. Saturday night seems to be the worst, they light a fire on the drive, and hoot and holler until the small hours. Had a verbal dispute with the farmer over the road, told him off for bush hogging too near their house. "Get off our property"! I am assuming, they don't seem to speak a lot of English. Turns out they were unaware of the property borders, and thought they owned more than they actually bought. The farmer owns everything right up to 15 feet from their front door. Which he pointed out to them in no uncertain terms. Told them he isn't putting up with any more nonsense at that address, that the surveyors will show them the the pins first thing Monday and he will have the fencers out there middle of the week. They don't have an easement as such, and the lane they use to get to the house is actually not theirs either.  Things might get interesting.

I dunno, but it sounds like Portuguese to me. Pity if it is, that was Himself's first language.  Only going by a couple of conversations he had with his Nanny when she visited several years ago.

Consider something stronger.
