Small Success

One of the lambrequins in our rear window came loose the other day. Ken found that one of the two screws holding it to the rear wall had broken. Repair involved first buying a replacement 4" long slender screw.

Then we had to drill a new hole through the narrow side of the approximately 2x4" board, because we wouldn't be able to reuse the existing hole. We didn't figure we could get the broken off screw piece out of the wall. We were having difficulty getting our drill bit to cut through the dense wood when one of our neighbors offered to help. He had a heavier drill and a very long drill bit, just the ticket for our job.

When we had reassembled and reinstalled the lambrequin, we congratulated ourselves on a job well done, with a little help from our friends, of course.

We finally made time to get in the swimming pool today. The high was 90° at 4:00 p.m., which is when we got in the pool. The water was comfortably warm, and we just lazed around mostly hanging on our pool noodles.

Afterwards I defrosted the freezer. It doesn't really take too long, but it's not one of my favorite jobs. On of the bonus benefits is that I get a good idea of what I have lurking in the back corners of the freezer.
