Harvest Time

Its been a long time since I posted. But I'll try to catch you up on what we've been up to the last few weeks.
Duane has been busy harvesting and trying to get fields sprayed in the mornings. So far everything has been going pretty good. He did have a flat on the combine a few days ago, but at least it was able to be fixed. So it only cost us $300.00 instead of about $1100.00 plus labor and mileage for a new one.
This morning it was finally still again, it has been so windy here the last few days. So he was going to get some more spraying done. He went out and the water pickup wouldn't start so he messed around with that for about a half hour or so then he left for the field. He is working on the field right across from the house and I haven't heard the sprayer yet so I'm thinking he is having trouble getting that going. I know when he started spraying the other day he had trouble and he never had time to get it fixed. Because it was dry enough to start combinning. I think he figured it was something with the wiring.
I've been on vacation all week. I have been planning on redoing our bedroom and I figured this would be the perfect time. So last week Saturday I had Casey help me move all the furniture out into the dinningroom and we pulled the old carpet out. Alex wanted Casey to come up and spend the weekend with them so He quick helped me and then he went to Bismarck for the weekend.
I tore all the trim out,pulled up all the staples and carpet tack strips.Boy were there staples in the closet.I don't know who they had install it but whoever it was was afraid the carpet in the closet would get away. There were more staples in the closet than the whole rest of the floor. Anyway I started sanding the floor. By Saturday night I had decided I needed to rent a floor sander. So I had Casey bring one home on Saturday night and I returned it Monday afternoon. Boy did that save time and energy, I still had to do some sanding with the small sander but it was well worth the rental price to get the big one. I repainted the whole room. I also tried out the new color changing ceiling paint but I wasn't too impressed.It seemed like it changed back to white so fast.But it might have been the brand of paint I was using too, because I wasn't impressed by the paint coverage either. It took alot of paint for the ceiling, it just didn't cover really good. But anyway that is all done. The floors are stained and varnished,now all I have left is to varnish the trim and put it back in. Casey and I are going to work on that later this morning, then we should be able to move furniture back in. I still have to do the doors though. I'm going to use the new doors Alex brought me, if I can get them to fit ( he got some solid oak doors that someone was going to throw out,nothing wrong with them except they need to be finished). Duane looked at them and said the door to the hallway will work but probably not the closet door. There are 2 closet doors he brought too but they are bigger, not sure if they can be cut down enough. I guess we will have to do that after he is done harvesting. I might just put the old door up until we get time to get to that.
Well, not to much else going on around here. Although I do hear the sprayer now, he must have got it going.
Have a good weekend !
