Molly, Foxy, and Leo. Marie was seated in Van with them, don't know if you can see her, the sun was too bright to see phone photos.
Some beach, somewhere wasn't what we planned, look at 16 yr old Molly, not happy. Foxy and Leo were wondering if the nightmare would ever end . Foxy freaked when the outgoing wave took the sand from under her feet. Leo didn't even want to look at the surf crashing on the shore. I was ready to drown all 3 of them pulling on me and tangling me up in their leases. Meantime Jake is saying "smile" yea right, nobody having fun but Jake.
It was good to just get away, for a while and see the beach, and take a little walk down it. Now it's back to work; headed out to start tearing screens and doors off this porch and repair all the bad boards with painted new ones.
Yes it was nice seeing the water. Justy getting out was good. Me yelling out a cuss word when the 3 dogs lassoed me in the leashes' was fun too. I did quickly put one sown ,better her than me. Miss Nice Guy left the beach after the first trip up while camera man was taking pictures.
Got a lot done on it for the first time, the screen is down on 80 % of it. Some of the damaged wood is down too. Took all the hanging things down and the thermometer too and all three screen doors also. It's getting there.
This is what we ran into Sunday on the way to St. Augustine Beach just north of Daytona. March 3nd thru 13th. we were right i nthe middle of it.
Still busy today reframing doorways, for new screen doors, and repairing wood where it had rotted. Will start painting it all after I have done all repairs. Went to dental clinic yesterday and had to be there by 6;45 am, just for them to say; we're sorry but your bp is just to high for us to chance taking that tooth out. Who would ever thoght that after all the "whitecoat sendrome", events I've had.
Hibiscus flower tea can lower you bp a little bit. There are other things but maybe putting a bag over your head so you can't see the white coats would be counterproductive. Hey, when you are done there with your chores, you can come here....
The bag over my head may work. Might try it, but then again they would have to take it off to do the pulling. Thanks for the advice Mary, just wish there was a cure; no fun. Have my next appt. 3-17-23 for a consultation to get it done.
Worked on the porch again today and replaced the rotted wood, in a few places. Coming along and I haven't given up yet. A little here, and a little there; until it's done. Have two of the three doors framed out now and ready, and one to go.
Got a very long todo list here in my barn. I have to plan it 10 years before I do it, that way I won't have to do it
Understand that; The porch seems like it's taken me a lifetime, to get it repaired, and screened, for the third time doing it. just not what I used to be. This is neat, we needed a wheelbarrow, a wagon that pulls, and a wagon for lawn tractors. So we started looking around for them and freaked at how much they cost now. Our three are really old and have seen better days. As we were shopping we saw this and thought, this would serve all three purposes. So we ordered one.
