We spent last evening on the screen porch. It was blissful. The weather is marvelous right now. I installed the ceiling fan and light yesterday so the porch is near completion. I have a few trim pieces to paint and put up as well as stapling screen to the bottom of the floor joists. I’ve been wondering how people deal with managing mosquitoes that come from under the house. I’m told most people lay down indoor-outdoor carpeting. I like the wood decking so I’ll try the screen for now.

In other house-related news, our air conditioner doesn’t work again. We’ve submitted a work request with American Home Shield. We’ll see if they can redeem themselves from last season. Also, we need to paint our kitchen cabinets before we get new vinyl for the kitchen floor, which we’ll be doing soon. I’ll try to upload pictures soon. On my to-do list is to reglaze all the windows; scrape, prime, and paint all the trim; plant some vegetables and herbs; and, I’m sure, stuff I’ve put out of my mind to keep from freaking out. I wish we had a landlord to call.
