spent our second night in the cottage last night. I was in bed by 8:30 after having not had much sleep the night before because of dogs and friends. The dogs barked at anything that moved outside the cottage all night long because they are terriers and unused to having lots of stuff going on around them. Bayside certainly hops well into the evening. Our friends from California didn't get to our house until 4am and Greg went over in his bathrobe to welcome them.

So, last night was much better. Slept on and off until 4, when I had to take the pups for a jaunt around the hood. Thought I would stay up and start to work, but I got back into bed and slept soundly until 7. We have the bare minimum here for furniture, and it is good that we are living here to see what works and what doesn't. We need some hooks and some shelving in the bathrooms and some major window treatments!

The new carriage house garage doors get installed today and that will make all the difference in the outside of the house. As soon as that is done, I can order the stone for the floor of the garage and check that project off my list of things to do.

Scraping the outside of the house today.
