The Third Post of the Day (Attic, revisited)

By admin | Published: 27 Apr ’08

We got the wall up. We did it in sections. Four 10 foot sections. We eyeballed it and I think we’re within an inch of being perfectly square. I can take that. The picture makes it look the wall isn’t perfectly straight up and down, but it is. We haven’t nailed it up at the [...]

Colleen’s in Cleveland, so I’ve been upstairs with dad working on the attic. We have half of the wall I need to build done.

Saturday Night Fun

Violet and I went out tonight. We went to the Brassfield Baptist Church because they were going to have a Bluegrass and Gospel Pickin’ Session. We didn’t go in, there were only seven cars in the parking lot. That and Violet fell asleep in the car right as we pulled up. It was 7:15, pretty [...]
