sun burned chest.....

Sun burned chest. Sorry for the junior high humor but the robin red breast has returned to middle Tennessee. This is my second spring season in Tennessee and it's kind of fun using the robin to mark the passing of time. The robins return here a lot sooner than they did in central New York but return they did. I need to do the googles and find out where they go. They were never in Texas so maybe it is someplace in between. Or maybe they went to Mexico. If it was Mexico, I'm glad that they were able to get back. What a mystery.

Step 2.....

My obsession with the sun room continues. The hot tub is gone but there was an ugly carpet under it. Since it was in a hot tub room, the carpet was closer to astro-turf than carpet. I anguished over the type of floor to put in. The room is not climate controlled 100% of the time so my first choice of hardwood was out. Then I priced tile. Yikes. I settled for a Berber carpet and a thick carpet pad. Step 1 in my room redo was to get the tub out. Done. Step 2 was to get the carpet out. The damn thing was glued to the floor rather than tacked along the edges. I survived the ordeal and the carpet installation is next. I will conquer this room yet. giggle
