Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

And the porch pillars fixed and the first floor ceiling surfaces and the basement back door and the porch railings and the death deck and there's a closed off transom on the 2nd floor balcony door and deals on stained glass transoms from England renovs and that front screen door has to go and the back basement door one and I need to make sure the lintels are sealed and the new balcony door painted in what I really believe is exterior paint (got that tonight) and the missing baseboard moulding and baseboards repainted and shelving and pantry in the kitchen and blinds (thinking shutters on at least half of the diningroom windows) and ...

I need to save this list.

Still too much for me. (and the above list is just random and not prioritized.)

And an electrician to wire for washer and dryer.

Punishingly Intricate

but it's good to write it all out so you can start prioritizing!

oh lisa, doing it together (or at least coming up with the ideas) sounds like an awesome project.

I know! I'm excited about it!

Man I need to go to bed. So very sleepy and I have to get up super early and do a ton of stuff tomorrow. Including ride 30+ miles. eesh. First I have to cut up my lemon bars. I hope they are good!

I've got 2 sets of sconces: a twofer and a onefer. The onefers are the rectangle base on the cool textured wall.

Not perfect, getting closer: [link] [link] Ooh [link] Would require paint/plaster repair: [link]

And a deadbolt on the french doors. Totally am calling Easter's again and asking for the same guy. He was really helpful, friendly, saved me money and gave me "protected by" alarm company signs cause he worried even after noting this was a good hood. "Any daughter I had, I'd tell her to use them because this world ain't fair and every bit of deterrent does work, even if you don't pay for it." Dayum. I appreciate the nod.

Congratulations, sara! So much fun and craziness to come!

Also, interrupting the restoration talk for Folsom Carseat Blues. Also.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Bad lemon bars are pretty damned good, unless they're salty. I'm sure yours are fine, lisa.

Sara has a house! Sara has a house!
