Did not prime the table today. Not really feeling it. I did get all the candle wax and sand most of the front. I think I'm going to want to caulk some things here and there too before it gets primed. Oh well... now it will be pushed back for a while because the warmer weather returns for about a week.

Hey BRENDA, we just watched what I believe is the last episode of the last season of Shetland. Without giving anything away, I think you'll like it.

Speaking of that... Have you watched either Mrs. Scarlett or Jamestown yet, Brenda?
I'm interested to see if you like either of them.

Grosssssssss... It's still 30 degrees out right now. It won't start warming up for about another 2 hours. At least the high is 58 today.
I'm going to park my car outside the garage after running some errands and get my miter saw out of the basement and up on a table in there so I can start cutting the jambs down to size.
I don't think my friend's dad is going to make it today since I haven't heard from him all week. My intention was to work on these alone today anyhow, but I kind of wish he hadn't said 5 or 6 times he'd come over this week to help and get my hopes up about that. I really liked his idea about how we'd get them in there, but I don't think it's something that I could do on my own without 3 or 4 hands.
Oh well... Maybe he'll surprise me. I'm not going to call him and put any pressure on him about it.
One of the things I need to get is another 3-pack of GFCI outlets. Last time I bought them they were $31.00. Today they're $35.00. Stupid inflation.
I told my dad I'd pick some stuff up at the hardware store for him anyway, so I'll just buy those now so I can get that last wall plate finished in the porch and be done with it. The other two outlets will end up in my bathrooms when I work on them, and that should be the last GFCIs I ever need to buy for this house. (Which is nice, because I'm already about $100 into them after today).
The good news is that for some reason it seems that the price of insulation has come back down. The non-sale price for a 15ft bat of R-15 is only under $17 right now where it was something crazy like $23 or $24 just a few weeks ago.
I'm still not going to buy it yet and see what sales are going on into black friday weekend. I'm sure I wont' get them for $5 each like the last time, but maybe I get lucky and they have a really good deal on them next month. It just makes sense that they'd make insulation a black friday staple since most people who were going to insulate their homes have already done it before the end of November.

Still cold and it's almost noon.
Got all the shopping done. Going to drag my saw outside and get it set up. Probably install the GFCI first and get the last wall plate on before I start cutting anything.

I just finished "Jamestown" last night and it was interesting. I found the characters that grew the most were Sharrow brothers. It also left me wondering if Alice Sharrow survived the crossing back to England with her young child.
Haven't watched "Miss Scarlett and the Duke" yet. Tonight I am going to wade my way through a horror film.

Was it just Season 1, or all 3 seasons?

Miss Scarlet has 2 seasons so far and Season 3 is supposed to begin at the end of January.
