Kicking Dirt
Did some dirt kicking today around the new place. Lots of work to be done but it feels good. The better half did some gardening and we filled a few trash bags with weeds. There's a hornet nest that has to go tomorrow, or as soon as I get some of that poison in a can that squirts reeeaaalll faaarrr. I hate those things.
I've come to accept in these parts that things aren’t square or finished construction wise, and I've made a mental list of moldings and other kinds of cover-ups that I'm going to need. I’m not going whole hog as it were, and I'm going to use a lot of bamboo to keep that rustic look, but there are certain things a man can't stand like crooked doors and windows. There will be sanding and painting and grout.
More outdoors work tomorrow as I hunt down an annoying water leak out back that's cramping my style. Can't have the mosquitoes giving the customers malaria now can we? That would be going a little too native for business. Names for the business have been coming and going as well. Today I considered going all 'Prince' on the place and just using a neon martini glass over the door. Could work. Hard to put up on a web page though.
