Not as productive as some weekends, Ryan got very little sleep last week (getting up at 5am is definitely rough) and I was exhausted which meant I got a headache AGAIN on Sunday – fun times.

Anyhow, we did get some work done 🙂  Saturday we recycled half of the aluminum we’ve been storing, then drove over to my uncle’s house to get more scrap metal from him (including our old engine from the BMW) and recycle that – got back to the recycle just before it closed.  So now the snow blower can fit under the back porch again this winter – yippee – instead of just out like it is right now.

I’m pretty sure that’s about all we did on Saturday unless you count catching up on lots of tv shows on Hulu and finding some new ones 🙂  Sunday we got a nice early start thanks to Fitz wanting to get up at 8am on a SUNDAY.  Ryan got to work on his second bookcase and got it put together…

Bookcases in place, not yet installed and still need face frames. The shelves will be adjustable so those go in very last.

Then Ryan installed the copper above the diningroom windows (and even soldered the joints as best he could in the wind).  While he did the copper I raked the side yard (had to stay close to hand him tools etc).  I also raked the back yard but only the side yard actually got the piles bagged up – Fitz decided to play in one of my back yard piles and pee on another – lovely.

Copper on the windows, can't wait to do the panels above the windows...

The rest of Sunday we relaxed some more (headache) – I read Inheritance and finished it up!  I don’t remember for sure but I think it’s better than Brisingr and definitely better than Eragon and Eldest were (and I enjoyed them all).  The story is complete and satisfying and I didn’t have to stay up late reading at all since I spent most of sunday reading 🙂  So goodbye to Eragon and his friends/family, it was quite a journey!

Working from home today because headache yesterday turned into migraine last night and only sleeping late helped, so to make up time I skipped the commute and stayed home to get all the work done 🙂
