Hillbilly Hell

I'm in it. and deep.

Once we cleared out the flower beds, our porch railing's eyesoreness became even more apparent. So we decided to go ahead while the beds were empty and install new rails. BN started them almost two weeks ago. Here they are today. Gosh that sun is bright.

My husband, who is damn near genius, cannot figure out the rails going down the stairs. He has the angles done, but it's lining up the top and bottom stiles that he can't seem to get.

You may be asking yourself why he's doing it when we can afford to have someone else do it. I know I am. BN's answer, "why would I pay someone else when I can do it?" ???? So he's scheduled to complete it tonight. I actually have faith he'll figure it out, he just needs to look at it a bit longer. (smirk)

*************************

We've been in the 100's for the past 5 days. Our upstairs has two skylights. I'd like to beat the shit out of the person who decided this house needed them. Anyhoo, I went to Lowes to get the film that blocks heat. I don't want the blinds, we actually have a pretty view of...the sky and...the trees and they do bring in a lot of light.

Unfortunately, they also bring in all the heat. As it turns out the film I need to put on the windows requires two sets of hands and BN has not been available the last two days since I bought the film. So I tacked towels over the windows to help with the heat. T-A-C-K-Y. Yeah, I know, but it has helped quite a bit. Hopefully, after the railings are done, BN can help me with the film. Cause these have got to go.

Next thing you know we'll start storing extra appliances in our yard.
