Lotsa stuff going on in Bello-Land!  Especially in my LIVING ROOM!

Please forgive me, if you’ve been checking this blog and
scratching your head or other pieces of anatomy....

I’ve been battling computer glitches and shingles and car accidents....
but it seems I’M BACK ON TRACK!

This weekend Bob FINALLY finished putting the beams up on our ceiling.
(Yes, he’d started it several months ago,
but got broadsided and was laid up for a couple of months…
man, he was SO LUCKY!! )

He’s been chomping at the bit to finish it.
And NOW we’re on to Stage 2:

filling the nailholes, priming and staining!

Sure, you’d NORMALLY prime and stain before you put them up....
but for some strange reason, the beams would start to warp after he routed them....
so we said to heck with it....especially since he could only do part of it over each weekend,
and focused on fitting them and just getting it up, correctly.
(DID I MENTION BOB IS A PERFECTIONIST???)

So, MY CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK is being on scaffolding, with a neck brace on,
FINISHING THE CEILING!!)

But HEY! We’re THRILLED to finally get the ceiling knocked out, and move on to the walls......
and YOU GET TO COME ALONG!!

(turn up that music, will ya?? and...got any Red Bull?)
