Airy Nothing Chatter

Saturday I spent the whole afternoon looking for the right pipes for the dryer vent. Apparently most people go with the accordion pipes, but the one I always see recommended is the regular tin pipe. Finally, at Ace Hardware, I finally found someone who did more than say "Those are what we have." He explained the different grades and showed me the cleaning tool. I hadn't realized there are two sizes and I hadn't measured, so I had to go back today.

There are some photos behind the cut.

Painting and reviews is how I spent my Sunday. I painted the yellow in the laundry room. Hopefully, I won't need to do a second coat and we can get the laundry in some order tomorrow. I also need to get mom's ceiling up. She said she'll do the rest of the painting in there.

I updated the my Book Reviews. I had done several at LibraryThing and forgot to put them here. Most of them are simple and short. They aren't added all at the end, either, but rather, at the date they were actually written. If you're interested, you might have to look around to see what's new.

Today I got the vent pipe and put it up. I also got a vent brush that you attach to drill to clean the pipes out with. I got an 8' stretch pipe, but decided that eventually I will replace that with the hard pipe. I think the hard pipe will be best in the long run. Where the pipe turns down to go to the dryer, I got a T connector. I put a cap on the extra opening. I just need to take the cap off to clean the pipes. It should be easy.

Here's a quick view of the painting:

My next project is to paint woodwork in the kitchen. My fabric arrived today. I'll make the curtains and shades when I get a little order in the laundry room and family room. I will also have to paint the window trim before I put them up.

At the moment, I don't want to do anything after that, but I discovered we have a can of the green I want in the family room. I hate the pink so much, that I may get to painting again as soon as the curtains/shades are done.

Hmmm... Looks like I won't be getting much done until Thursday. Tomorrow, I have to take mom to get blood work done for her upcoming doctor visit and we need to do some grocery shopping. On Wednesday, my sister is taking me with her as a guest to her diet program so I can learn some of their recipes and ways to keep food healthful and low fat. Well, Schnook should be here on Thursday, so he can help me move the heavy stuff, like the organ (that we're only keeping for him).
