Today's Question(s):

What was the last thing you attempted to do that turned into a "project" ?
I guess that would be putting the bathroom in the basement. It could have been done in a week under normal circumstances. I was recuperating from my heart surgery and worked on it a little at a time over 6 months.


Extra Credit Question:

Is your home "company ready" at this moment ?
By whose standard? Hey if you don't like the way I live visit someone who does.

If not how long would it take to make it "company ready" ?


Bonus Question:

How many catalogs do you get at your home ?
I'm on everyone's mailing list, I've never counted.

Which is your favorite ?
Northern Tool, nothing quite like a good tool book.

Last time you ordered something from a catalog ?
I don't normally order from catalogs. Nancy ordered lots of stuff. Mostly little toys and things for her Sunday School classes.


Just for Fun:

What are your expected High & Low temps for today ?
82/62F

How many of our QOTD family are still using their A/C ?
Mine is still on because humidity has been so high.

When do you think you will be able to turn it off ?
I'll keep it on 78 with the house closed up until the dew point drops.
