What did you do today instead of playing in your RV?

I spent the whole day trying to remove about 2 square feet of forty year old contact paper for our kitchen shelves. I was lucky forty years ago and the DW put three coats of Urethane on the interior of all the cabinets. We had just moved into the house, it was brand new. But, all the shelves were covered and most had been removed in the last week, today just a bit but then mineral spirits and a eM scouring pad and then Simple Green to cut the spirits and then a final wash with spick and Span.

The cabinets were just resurfaced and so she wants new shelf lining. I'm tired of all the stuff from the kitchen being in boxes stacked in the living room. Tomorrow shelf lining and after that, finishing the new cabinets where the old CRT tvs were and doing a thorough cleaning so we're ready for the DGS's Easter Break.

  • Changed the batteries in my indoor-outdoor themometers. I have one in the house and one in the camper. I changed batteries on both sets. It's suppose to rain today and it's still a bit too cool, but I need to get on the roof of the house and replace 4 broken shingles from high winds we had a few weeks ago. Wife won't let me get up there unless weather conditions are just right! So I'm still waiting!
  • Waiting for the 'Racoon Guy' to show up.

    New winter home in Florida has a racoon in the attic. He has chewed 6 holes in my roof. :(

    Real homesick for Wisconsin where raccoon's are smarter than the ones in Florida. What animal would WANT to live in an attic where the temps can reach over 200 degrees in summer?
  • We had lunch at Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room in Savannah then took one of the Trollies around the city. Very nice, and there's a LOT of people wearing green down here right now. (St. Patricks Day) :B

  • Sounds almost better than my day. I finished installing tile in a customer's bathroom.

    Waiting on the weather to move The Hilton up close to the garage where the welder sits. I'm going to build a heated tank enclosure for the old girl. Also on the project list are a new tongue jack and if the Daughter won't get my curtains done, I'll do them myself.
