Day 2251

 I got up at 8, did the pet stuff and had breakfast.  After that it was surfing.  It was raining, but not hard.    We were waiting for John and Melissa to come over to say goodby.  After about half an hour they did.  We talked for a while and then they left.

I went over to the apartment soon after they left.  Of course Melissa had left it neat as a pin.  I began measuring for the bead board.  Of course the wall wasn't square.  I also had to measure where the mounting holes for the TP dispenser went and the hole for the light switch.

I went back into the garage and cut the panel.  I had to shorten it and cut the width.  Then I did the holes.  When that was done I cut away 14 inch of the wall molding in the bathroom so the panel would fit.  I called Ellen and she came out to help me fit the panel.  That's when I found out I'd screwed up.

Fortunately the screwup was minor.  I forgot to cut a notch for the existing bead board on the other wall.  I went back to the garage and cut the notch.  When we tried to fit it again it worked perfectly.  I took the bead board back to the garage and got the paint so Ellen could paint it.  Then I marked the position of the studs in the wall so I'll know where to fasten it.

That was my work on the apartment for the day.  I went back inside and started sorting the Ryft parts that I need to dye.  The I had leftovers for lunch.  When that was done I washed all of the Ryft parts.  That way they're ready to dye.  Finally I got out a big pot and measured how much water is needed to fill the dye pot.  It's a lot, about 7 gallons.  That meant I needed another bottle of dye.

Ellen found out that Michael's had the dye.  We drove over there and bought it.  When we got home I decided I'd accomplished enough for the day.  I started watching YouTube videos.  I did that until after dinner (more leftovers).

I decided that as long as I was watching videos I might as well do it on the TV.  So I switched to it after dinner.  I ended up watching them for the rest of the night.
