Friday's Word

Friday's word is paint.

For example, "Behr paint is on sale at Home Depot, so I've been home twice today to paint different branded paint onto gypsum board so that I can have Home Depot color-match and thus buy my paint at a discount.


PS: For those who are interested, I'm planning to go with Behr's approximations of:

Benjamin Moore Windham Cream in the living room
Martha Stewart (Valspar) Coriander in the dining room and kitchen and probably office
Behr Timeless Lilac in the bedroom

Design Note

For current and future architects who might be readers:

If you're designing a college campus building, please reconsider a glass wall with benches in front of it. People on the other side of the wall often have a more intimate view of student anatomy than is appropriate or desired.

Word of the Day

Antenna. I challenge you to use this word in a sentence today.

For example, "Why are so many people calling the library today asking about radio anntenas?"

In My Defense

The house is a disaster, but I haven't been spending all my time sitting around eating bonbons. What little work I've done has mostly been outside. Here's the mower I bought to mow the "lawn" (to say "grass" would be a gross misstatement). The owner's manual fails to mention that it may take a phone call to dad to get the thing started!
