Splitting my time between indoor and outdoor work.

First, let me say how thrilled I am that it is finally Daylight Savings Time! I was so happy that I turned all my clocks ahead on Friday night to give myself a jump-start. Helps me adjust to the change in sleep and gives me an extra day of having more light in the evening. Win-win. My state has a bill pending that would make DST permanent. I can't tell you how much I am hoping that it passes. With all the warmth and light we've had lately, I've been working outside as much as humanly possible.

I've tried to concentrate the indoor work to the cooler days or mornings/late evening.  One of my tasks for getting the house ready was to paint my younger son's room.  Both my boys chose green for their rooms, and this one was originally my older son's room.  He actually lobbied for black walls, but I vetoed that. The first order of business was taping the room off and patching all the holes.  He had pictures thumbtacked all over that room.

Actually, I wish he'd only used thumbtacks - some of the pictures were just nailed to the wall. And not small nails. With ENORMOUS nails.

I dragged all his belongings into the living room and set him sorting through them. When he's done, I'll reassemble the room in as organized and bland a way possible. Which means all the knives, machetes and the rifle and bullets will be tucked out of sight. Just like my wine rack has been taken apart and the bottles stowed in a cabinet in the basement. I have no idea who will be traipsing through my house when it's on the market, but I'd like to be as circumspect as possible.
