Pool People Summer

I think we are having “pool people summer” here in Ohio.  It is probably not different than normal summer (excluding 2020 when the pool had weird rules and no passes).  But as usual we are loving our pool days and nights.  The laundry room usually smells of chlorine and my kids usually have sunscreen half smeared on their necks and legs.  My kids now seem to have tanned glow and I am am slightly more pink

It’s been raining for like a week straight and this is driving me crazy because we haven’t been to the pool because of that.  Hopefully sunny days will return and we can resume our pool evenings and afternoons.  

Thea attempted her swim test but failed the floating part the girl does not float she sinks or flails around like a crazy child.  But jones passed his last year and delights in jumping off the diving boards with his friends.

It’s also very popular to play ping pong and four square at the pool this summer and when my kids aren’t begging for snack shoppe money they play these games with their friends. 

15 - Barn Door

My bathroom previously had two doors that bumped into each other and took up so much space in the bathroom.  I took one off immediately upon moving the other one was the door to the room, so i left it but it was nonstop annoyance.  I knew immediately i needed to replace it with a barn door.  So I bought a door and scheduled a contractor.  Well 4 months later the contractor hadn’t gotten around to this project.  So this past weekend m.  My best friend and I tackled it.  I thought it would take 90 minutes - ha!  

Upon opening the box I realized it wasn’t going to be fast.  The door had been scratched in transit and need to be painted and I needed a spade bit.   So off to Lowe’s we went.  

After two coats of gold spray paint I decided that it was the worst, so I switched to this random green we had in the garage.  And I rather like it now that it’s up, more than I would the gold. 

Well 5 hours, three coats of green paint, several missteps with hanging the rails, and only one anchor lost in the wall.  It’s up and I love it.  My bathroom seems so much bigger and better.  

It’s relatively an inexpensive project.  

Now to decide what art to hang on the wall next to.
