This weekend was crazy! Got so much done! Home Depot, Home hardware, Canadian Tire, wainscoting, chair rails, air filters.
Saturday we went to Canadian Tire and I got all the stuff I thought I needed to rebuild my air filter. Then to Home Depot to pick up the stuff to finish off the downstairs bathroom chair rail and wainscoting.
When we got home I set to ripping apart my old filters and K started measuring and cutting the chair rail for the bathroom. I got the old filters off their frames really easily then set at the old epoxy with my Dremel with a pointed grinding bit. It went pretty quickly once I got a rhythm and I had both filters all cleaned up by dinner time. It was super dusty work.
Then we headed out to dinner at a new local restaurant called June Harlow Foods. We both had burgers and they were great! They have Burger Wednesday where you get a burger and a beer for $10. We will be going back.
Today we went to Home Hardware down the road to pick up some bbq paint so I could throw a layer on my filters so they look a little nicer than the brass color they are stock and so that the newly exposed areas of metal will have some protection and won’t rust. While we were out we stopped by some friends place to see their son and give some advice on a wall repair they need to do after having to rip up a section on their stairs trying to get a couch in to their townhouse.
When we got home I cleaned, masked, and taped my filters and took them outside to paint. While waiting for them to dry we installed the chair rails that K cut yesterday in the bathroom and I ripped apart one of the new filters I bought to replace the old batting from the old ones. I only cut myself twice.
That’s pretty crazy actually. I never cut myself. I guess I wasn’t being careful enough with the sharp filter screens. I usually wear Mechanix gloves to do anything.
I’m going to write up before and afters of all the projects from this weekend. Hopefully I have some before and after photos of the bathroom.
