Re: Settling in

Oh- I can sympathize. I spent part of yesterday installing an outside canopy for part of my pergola. What a huge pain in the $#%&. And now that it is up, I'm jsut not too thrilled with it. I used shade cloth instead of the "sunshade" which is more solid. Well- rats, the shade cloth looks kind of cheesy and doesn't block enough of the sun for it to be comfortable to sit out under after all. So- I'm thinking of taking it all down and starting over....Next weekend or maybe the one after that.
On the plus side, I did intall a misting system to the pergola today and it looks good and works too!

Finally beginning to feel at home here. Spent most of yesterday and part of today assembling two chests of drawers from IKEA. They should've warned me. At the very least, the box should have said "Not suitable for assembly by persons over 70 years of age." It could've also said "Having three hands highly recommended." I'm so stiff and sore I can barely keep my most used body parts in operation.
We won't go into why it took a month for IKEA to deliver the kits--only to say they are a very difficult company to communicate with. But now the chests are done and I can load the drawers and quit living out of suitcases, backpacks, and plastic bags.
