We're still upset over Steve Irwin's sudden death. I mean heck, if this man who successfully flirted with dangerous beasts unscathed for years can be killed so quickly then the rest of us poor saps seem even more vulnerable. The girls and I enjoyed watching his shows and they are pretty sad. My heart goes out to his wife, children and other friends and family.

I'm 1/2 way through installing vinyl tiles of the adhesive sort. They were very cheap and considering the unevenness (is that a real word?) of our floor there weren't too many options. There is no way in the world that I could wrangle a large roll of flooring and standard tiles are way too heavy. I just hope this crap stays stuck. I've never used them or lived with them before and I have no idea how well they hold up.

I've started installing drywall too. Obviously it was much needed. The fugly panelling wasn't only dated, dark and dreary but poorly installed too. Visions of drunk monkeys with hammers comes to mind. There are large areas with no nails and then other places where the nails are only inches apart. The edges have uneven gaps which were hidden behind awful foam strips. I think these strips are what is used for molding in trailers.

Last night I painted the back of the house where B installed the new siding. It may require a second coat, but only daylight will tell.

I'm sore. I miss knitting. I frogged part of the SKB and decreased above the ribbed section. I also chose to only use the beads on the first row of each lace pattern instead of the 1st and 3rd rows. The beads were distracting from the lace pattern. I hope to work on it again next week.

Cheers all.
