What I'm Reading This Week #35

Wasn't it just the first week of August like yesterday?  No?  Sure feels like it.  Also, am I the only one completely over the 'demure' crap?!  Talk about jumping on something and beating it into the ground in record time.  The second it pops up on the feed of anyone I follow, it's an immediate hide/snooze from me.  I have no idea why crap like that irks me to the core but there it is.  😁

Y'all, I have to give a massive shout out to the Mr for a few reasons.  Tuesday that sweet lil nugget somehow forged ahead, figured out that for the bottom railing we could go back to batch painting and he got ALL of the balusters installed!!  Tuesday was our cut off date for working on that project and it was a miracle.  We also thought we had a solution for the baluster shoe rattle but of course it didn't work.  When I asked if we were going to have to tear them out, his inner Madea said "aww hell no" and he engineered a solution.  We won't be able to get to it until next week and I'll share that when the final reveal post is done.  So big kudos to him!

Everything is coated in wood filler, paint and poly dust.  I feel like every time we walk up the carpeted stairs, it must look like this:
