Ok! OK! I’m going to do it!

I don’t have anybody to nag me, so I have to nag myself from time to time so I’ll get back to work.

Yes, I said I'm going to start! I heard you the first time!

It was about a month ago I started the floor and I’ve yet to finish.

Yes, as soon as I finish this blog entry!

I had good excuses – I mean reasons for not finishing.

First there was the problem with the wood.

Then I had to drive to hell and back to get new wood.

Then I hurt my back.

Then last week I saw the light at the end of the tunnel with the hutches so I decided to finish that up.

As you can see, all my reasons are well documented, so there is really no reason to nag myself anymore, but I do it anyway.

I said I would start right after this blog entry!!!

The goal is to finish installing the wood by Friday, and then Saturday I can rent a sander. I think if I sand all day Saturday with the drum sander, and then do the edge sander on Sunday, I should be able to start the finish Sunday evening. I can finish that up on Monday, then by the middle of next week I can start to move stuff in. That is the plan.

You don’t have to yell at me! I’m starting now!

I'll nag you. Evidently, I am good at it or bad depending how you look at it... ;)

Actually, you don't seem like you need anyone nagging you- you're pretty motivated.

I'll be interested to hear how the sanding goes- I haven't used a drum sander before...

p.s. I can't believe you hated English class- you are such a good writer :)

Get moving! I want to see pictures of the floor with furniture in the room! But don't hurt your back again.

Merideth: Swimming at the lake! Maybe I should be nagging you

Jocelyn: I’ve never used a drum sander either. I think I’ll do a practice run with 220 just to get the hang of it. No one has ever heard of a U-Sand before at either of the rental places in town. And I’m glad you enjoy my ranting – er – I mean writing.

Trissa: (in a nasally voice) Yes dear. Right away dear. I’ll get right on that.

I would imagine that most everyone who reads these house blogs is probably their own best self-naggers.
