Update from the weekend

We are coming right along. We have the washer and dryer in place and ready to run. The bench is built and needs some paint and a shelf to be completely done. The bed is about half done and we have hopes of finishing it today. Butch has installed one of the pocket doors in the closet and it needs some touch up paint.
Yesterday was another Lowes run to Ames to pick up a few needed items to finish the bed.
I checked on the status of the cabinets and counter tops and it looks like it will be another week yet. Not of big concern as long as we have all these other projects to keep us busy.
Yesterday we stopped at WalMart in Boone to pick up a few grocery items. A man in the store spotted a friend of his buying strawberries. He hollered at him and said," I bought some of those yesterday and they were great! Sure cannot beat the price!" They were $1 a box and the box was huge. I had not noticed them before but then I picked some up and he was right. They are very good!

And now a paint tip gleaned from Facebook:

REVIVE your old paintbrushes and STOP WASTING MONEY!!! Before you buy new paintbrushes this year, check this out. Soak old paintbrushes in VINEGAR for 30 minutes. GOOD AS NEW! Soak them in water with fabric softener and paint won’t dry on the brushes. LIKE this and SHARE other paintbrush tips.
