Almost ready to head out to pay bills and take more stuff to Calcis. With the rain promises to be a long day mostly on the road. πŸ™

stuff, some screws, and about a thousand comic books. The last was sold about an hour later and didn’t make it back with us.

Got a pair of andirons, a chair, 2 sets of coke glasses, a couple of tea pots, 2 planes, a couple of corning ware pans, bunch of woodworking

Prior to going to Calcis we went on down to the Shelby County Flea Market about 5 miles below Harpersville where we got quite a few things.

Got to make another run to Calcis tomorrow as in the hurry to leave this morning we forgot to load the cold stuff up to take. πŸ™

Still got to cook supper, and trying to figure out what to fix that’s quick, easy, and not something I’ve already done this week.

Back from the south and north. And most glad to be home where shoes and clothes are optional. Been a long, productive, and lucrative day.

Guess we should go by WW and get another bottle of black paint. Or just wait till evening as there is plenty to keep us busy without it.

Tried painting one yesterday but the brush was not good and though the sign turned out better than I expected twas worse than I would use.

Found box of brushes so maybe the next coat on the table will be a bit smoother. Will also try my hand at painting signs for the store.

Also got some shelves put up in the work area. Still got more to put up but tis a start and has let me clear the work benches off enough to

Along with some spray lacquerer for a finish/seal coat. Got the lights in the warehouse hooked back up so is much easer to work there now.

Looks like the antique white paint is close enough to work. The gold was too bright so went to WW after work and got the antique gold.

Got the rattan ring nailed and glued down and the first coat of paint on the lamp table.

about what to do with the other shelving and stuff. Got a lot of other stuff that will have to be done too but getting there slowly.

Will make the trip north but if I continue to feel this bad may come home early again. Think my summer seasonal feel bad is starting early.

correct it. Course on the way down this morning I saw one fence built with cross tie posts that was down from the amount of flowing water.

Am getting coffee and then heading to Piedmont. Most of the mess in the entry way is drying at least some. Have got to find the cause and

I need to take some time here to finish up some of the many projects which include underpinning the trailer so this can’t happen any more.

Been soaking it up and bailing the sump hole for nearly an hour now. Got it slowed to a trickle and now the rain is picking up again.

Came down to pee and found water in the floor. First time in several years, and had to be tonight so I can get even less sleep.

Sunday: We got out for a bit and did some looking at things at a couple of antique shops. Got a few things at one…

And I have got to get up early in the morning to get Cat to Piedmont in time to get back to Anniston before 8:30 to report for Jury duty.

Was well worth the trip and time. Rain has just started coming down pretty good. Looks like it will be a long night of it.

Looking at the invoice noted that we got a ceramic art box piece and a book along with 9 pieces of glass. Nice haul and good stuff!

Just looked at the invoice and the name is Timeless Treasures Antique Mall. Some of the stuff was too high but some was quite reasonable.

with nothing. Second place was just around the corner at the Antique Mall where we got several pieces of glass at really good prices.

Tired of messing with temp shelter for this crap. For now am thinking about cleaning up a bit and heading out for a bit. Till later…

but if what I did doesn’t work am gonna tear it all down, move the piles, and build a new shed to keep the stuff in.

Did a bit of preventive rework on the temp shed out back to hopefully reduce the water buildup on the roof. Might should have done more
