WORK IN PROGRESS (HOUSE)

Well, over the three-day weekend I worked a tad. I took part of Sunday afternoon off to attend the 'Heretic's Barbecue' sponsored by CVASS. They had a nice turnout. I got my money's worth in the food department, I donated a couple of copies of an 'old earth creationist' book to an auction to raise funds for CVASS and got to 'walk on water' when they put together a demo of a non-Newtonian fluid (corn starch suspended in water). This is a classic demo:



But all good things must come to an end. My genius wife had the walls painted various colors, our tile guy laid tile every day and I spent time laying paver stones, stripping old paint from baseboards and installing various items (toilet paper holders and the like). I am bushed. More photos and descriptions to come. If all goes well, we should carpet on Thursday and move in on Saturday. Our year of Purgatory is nearly behind us.
