Absolutely.
We did encourage it and so far so good.

It's great that she is off to a good working start.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-11 03:39
We talked about this the other day with the oldest who struggles finding the right direction.

Some people just take longer than others to figure out what the right direction is.  My son has changed his occupation 4 times now and has been really good at each one but it was not his long term passion.  He made enough selling two of his businesses that now he is working at being a successful entrepreneur.  His last two investments have paid off really well so maybe he has finally landed where he wants to be.

Yeah, long story, but we're very proud of her.

That sounds like he has his sheep on the dry land (not sure if that translates)

No doubt you've instilled some great intrinsic values in her.  

NIcely done.

DowntownRDB Posted at 3-11 09:37

We've tried for sure.
(I often think it worked )

Montfrooij Posted at 3-11 12:32

Now you'll get to see the fruit of your efforts in instilling good values.  No doubt she'll make you super proud.

I hope to be finishing the trims this week, so I can coat the sills and put them in place 'for good'

Yeah, once coated it will be time to put them in place permanently.

Nice catch and thanks for hammering the spammer.

Yup. It's gone now.

2 layers. With some days in between.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-12 09:35
Yup. It's gone now.

Probably will return sooner or later.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-12 09:36

No doubt as it needs to dry thoroughly between coats.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 3-12 09:51

I think at least 5 days. But I have to check

DowntownRDB Posted at 3-12 09:51

Unfortunately yes.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-12 11:31

Wow, I was thinking only 24-48 hours.  

Montfrooij Posted at 3-12 11:31
Unfortunately yes.

Most unfortunate for sure.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 3-12 14:36

This is a kind of oil with a hardener. Not sure how long it will take with the hardener.

DowntownRDB Posted at 3-12 14:37

So we will do our job and ignore them for the rest.

You’ve made the hit posts list on the main page.   Nice one.

Aha. I missed that one.

Okay, not the oil I was thinking you were using so it might be a 5 day process.  No sense rushing it at this stage of the reno.

I'm first going to make the rest of reveals because the sills are now 'in place' so I can measure them exactly.

That's a good plan.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 3-13 03:45

I think so. Hopefully I can start with that tomorrow.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-13 03:55

Are you keeping a "to do" list or do you just get up and roll the dice on what to do next?  

Montfrooij Posted at 3-13 03:08
Aha. I missed that one.

Number 3 today -

No list here. I can just see what I have to do
It's not that much, but it is time consuming.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-13 23:17

I have two posts on the main page.

DAFlys Posted at 3-13 23:30

It does like like it finally makes sense (this section). Last time I checked, it seemed a bit random.

On other pages that is still very random.

I just checked and it looks like it yes.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-14 00:13

I do see quite a few of your posts on the random view too.

Yes, I noticed that too.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-14 00:21
Yes, I noticed that too.

I didnt know you could get your own posts recommended.

I don't think that is possible.
