AFA snow on roofs... where I came from, that means that your roofs are well- insulated. Those that aren't leak heat and melt the snow. You must have good building codes.

The dentist went very smooth. These teeth they pulled today came out with no trouble at all. They took a picture of the roof of my mouth to send to the lab about getting a denture made for me. They even showed me the picture and this is the first time I have ever seen the scar on the roof of my mouth from the dental surgery I had done way back when I was teenager. Also I didn't need any stitches today. So whoo hoo! Still frozen right now but that's to be expected but no pain.
I still have dental stuff to deal with but I will get to it in the New Year.
Got to the Safeway down that area and found some ice cream on sale. Half price and got some coffee too at a decent price.
Think the building codes in BC are pretty good.

Cold and dry for the next few days where I am. Need a scarf when I go out tomorrow. Going out a little earlier in the hopes of getting back quicker, so I won't get too cold.

Well, here on this end of the west coast, we got more rain than expected. I measured about 1.25" (about 3 cm) at my house, and there were flash flood warnings going off on on everyone's phones (altho tbh we dont really get flash floods here in the flatlands.)
So a good start to the rainy season. Today its cool and sunny.

Back from my walk and it is cold out. Sitting at 5C which is 40F. No frost out and so walking is still good. Remembered my scarf today.

I caulked all of the casings and jambs as well as the baseboard today. Looks great.
I won't be painting this year. I ran out of time. My old man is coming tomorrow and it's the last nice day of the year. That's fine. Unless you're really putting a magnafying glass on the trim you can't even tell that it needs a final coat.
Sometime by the end of the weekend I'm going to put the final coat on the bamboo table and fabricate two cover pieces to rest above the basket woven tops to protect them. I'll make them out of leftover hardboard I have from when I worked on the kitchen. After they're cut to size and the edges are broke and rounded down, I'll paint them with one of my dark grey colors and then put rubber feet on them that I have leftover from the protectors for the kitchen cabinets.
From there I'll either start fabricating a piece of furniture my brother requested or start installing trim in the living room. I'll probably be going to see my bro for the first time in about half a year next week though, so it will have to wait until I get back. No big deal since I probably won't be getting my car back until at least after I come back from my brothers'. Still no word on how much that's even going to cost, let alone how long it will take for the repairs to be made.

We have super hard water around here, and scale builds up everywhere. I fixed daughter's shower head a month or so ago by soaking it in vinegar. Our "rainfall" shower head was leaking out the top, so I took it off and soaked that too, and replaced the filter and washer. Unfortunately it's still leaking out the top, I think from the ball- socket fitting that allows you to adjust the shower head. But at least water is running out of all of the jets now.
We broke down and turned on the heat, since it's hitting 55 tonight. Set the thermostat to 65 bc otherwise the bedrooms get too warm for comfortable sleeping.

Staying warm easy. Luck not so much. Messed up the first hand and couldn't get back really on track. *L* It happens. Maybe next week.
