Real Estate Crissy can go either way can't it? Overall though it sounds as though you came out on-top...congratulations..don't know if I'd have the courage to gamble with such high stakes...think my dear, you are overdoing..better put your feet up tomorrow and enjoy the day...

Cat, would take you up on it, but I've so many I said I'd read this summer, feet up, relaxing with good book in hand and of course 'didn't' lol..but thanks...

Well I'm moving from project to project..waiting for the paint to dry on my basecoat of birdhouses, I decided that because I changed furniture downstairs I'd move a few things..bookshelf proved too be too heavy even with all the book out, wouldn't you know, just as I was putting a towel underneath it to see if I could drag it, June and Alex dropped by..Alex is my girlfriends husband who always seems available should I need something, he's the gentleman that had a heartattack that you prayed for, lordy I'm so glad he's doing well...so he was outside sitting while June talked crafts, she called him in and he helped me move it..all was well..lol..then he saw that I had a set of flower boxes, my ruler out so he asked what I was up to...said I would try to cut one of them in 2 to fit underneath the faux windows I'm making for the shed...didn't say anything..explained the safety of my table saw...I explained to him I had purchased some cedar wood to do a project and changed my mind so off outside, June wanted to show him the cement bench I'm doing a mosaic on, I asked him what did he think the pole I cemented in yesterday was for??? he had a few answers but none the right one..now how could he guess such a thing..I said I'd have to go into Midland and purchase wood for name/mileage signs and he said why not put the boards through the table saw and make widths of 3"..hmm why not..so before he left he said give me the boards, the window box, come over to the house and I'll do it for you...WORKS for me..

I left there and don't know if some of you have it in your neighborhood but our municipality has kept the waterfront at the end of all the concessions for people to swim and picnic...I passed 4 and not one person...can't believe it..stopped took a photo and it was so nice that I think about 6pm I'll pack a lunch, go down with a magazine and actually sit for an hour and enjoy...

So far I've managed to put legs on the 2 little boxes and paint the fronts/sides and also the large one, just have to attach legs to it and I'm ready to cement them in...project achieved..

Guess if I were to give the houses another coat of paint for today and let it dry I could work on them this week...I do know one thing, have to think of a different birdhouse for my swap partner..this one is JUST oversize, ok for me but not for shipping..it would almost need a crate...yuk..

I'll have a 2nd one, am sure it will find a home..will have to look at my birthday list see who might enjoy!!!
