Scaring Dad

Saturday started with Dad and I finishing the living room floor.


While we did that, Mom scraped paint from the last wall of the hallway.  She then cut open a hole that had been kicked in at one point in time.  It took a bit longer than originally though because he kick had cracked the backside of the board.  It wasn't visible, but made the board wobbly.

At out lunch break, we went to the store and bought a bunch more stuff, in order to use a coupon that was expiring this weekend.

When we got back, Mom attempted to patch her hole.  It turned into a war and the wallboard patch piece won the day's battle.  Mom came up with a plan to be implemented Sunday to try to win the war.

Dad and I worked on installing the kitchen sink.  Dad put the sink baskets and stuff on while I cut the counter for the sink hole.  That took quite a bit of time.  Dad's little jigsaw hadn't had such a workout.  Here's a shot of Dad doing the last of the cutting.  My arm was tired of the constant vibration and needed a break.


It was pretty funny taking this photo.  Dad was focused on what he was doing and had no idea that I had pulled out the camera.  I took one photo without flash, but it didn't turn out very well.  I turned the flash on for this one.  When it went off, Dad looked up, frightened.  He thought the saw was blowing up!  Totally didn't mean to scare him at all, but it sure was funny.


The last bit of work for the day was painting the cut edge of the sink hole to seal it.  By the end of the weekend, I'll have a kitchen sink.  That will make living here much nicer.
