Did not do the jambs today, but got my saw out there and the table set up.
Changing out that GFCI was a real pain because I left my wires shorter than I should have. The drywall was doubled up on that wall, so it was a lot easier to put the first outlet in there when I had an extra inch of wires to play with. On top of that, the new oulet had the LINE and LOAD sides reversed from the old one, so I didn't figure out I wired it up incorrectly until after I'd finished leveling the wallplate and installing it, forcing me to have to redo the entire installation.
Works great now tough. 
Talked to my friend's dad and he's going to come over Tuesday to help with the jambs and casings. Maybe Wednesday too. I'm going to clean out the gap between the slab off the back of the porch again and get the self-leveling caulk down finally tomorrow, and probably do the same to the front porch slab. Then I'll mow the lawn. Then I'll probably be helping my friend out again this weekend.

Was it just Season 1, or all 3 seasons?Quote:
Haven't watched "Miss Scarlett and the Duke" yet. Tonight I am going to wade my way through a horror film.
Miss Scarlet has 2 seasons so far and Season 3 is supposed to begin at the end of January.

I saw all 3 season of Jamestown. There were only 8 episodes per season.
For "Miss Scarlett", I've only got Season 1 out.

I guess it was a little fast. I used the Close Captioning for the show and reading what the English actors were saying was fine. I had to give up trying to read the English translation for the Algonquin which is what the Pamunkey spoke as it was so small on screen. I just listened to the Algonquin.
And I could get the jist of it anyways. As I said the two characters that changed the most were the Sharrow brothers, Silas and Henry. Silas started out just wanting to make a life for himself and being the good brother, while Henry was only out for money and no interest in anything really. It was almost dying in a fire when he had talked his brother into going trading and being saved and healed by the Pamunkey that changed his life. He became about building a life on the land and bringing honour to his family name. Then Henry became even more understanding when he was given a Pamunkey wife. Watching him learn how to reconcile the English culture with Pamunkey especially after their baby daughter died. He wanted to bury the baby on the land he was given but his wife's brother said the baby had to be buried on Pamunkey land. Henry finally gave in and grieved mightly for his child.
I got the feeling that the Govnenor was returned to Virginia to take more land than what they had gotten from the Pamunkey. By the end he was talking guns and destroying the Pamunkey. Course there was a war between the settlers of Jamestown and the Pamunkey. The Pamunkey lost and the settlers that survived were the ones that got to Jamestown and behind its walls.
Henry's wife went with him most likely out of fear. She wouldn't have been spared in the raids.
The Widow Castell, Jocelyn came from England to get away from her past and marry a rich man. The red head who was a thief and her passage was bought by the Tavern owner was adapting. Alice was suppose to marry Henry Sharrow but fell for his brother Silas. She was having a hard time adapting to life in the New World maybe it was best that she went back to England.
What drove me batty besides that the fact that in another 200 years when the colonizers would reach the now western states nothing in their behavior had changed. Convert, land, resources and destroy.
Also I prefer the word Indians to "the Naturals" as those early colonists called us.
So, it did get under my skin some.

Well, my area got some rain last night and into this morning. It's suppose to hang around until next Tuesday. That's a start.

Back from my walk and it was raining when I went out. Dry now. Maybe that's the start of our wet season. Heaven knows we need it. Finally got a shelf put up that I bought months ago, so that's good.

Very good point about the weaponry getting better. It did.
It was interesting as all I knew about Jamestown was that it existed and that was it. Though they kept talking about this British company and I should look that up as I have no idea what they, the settlers were talking about.

Wow that's cool. I didn't know you were bilingual.

I kind of had to gloss over this part. I only saw one episode, so I'm not familiar with the characters names yet, and I really don't want too many spoilers. I was sad to see that it got cancelled after 3 seasons and it sounds like they really rushed the ending to try to tie up loose ends when they realized there wasn't a 4th season. Shame on PBS for not ever mentioning that, I think.

I'm sure it did. But wouldn't you rather see them make the show with the warts and all instead of pretending that this didn't happen? I'm surprised they did it in today's climate. Everybody gets so offended about everything so easily that we're just erasing the past completely to save the most sensitive of us from being offended.
That's how history ends up repeating itself. :(

I cleaned and caulked both slabs.
Got the front lawn mowed and a full bin worth of other people's branches. We must have had some hell of a wind storm since I last did the front lawn. I haven't cleaned up that much lawn debris since before I got the two dying trees cut down.
It was gorgeous today. 72 degrees. It's getting up to the mid-to-high 70's this weekend too.
