French renovations Day 79: Screws, supplies, and braces

18,881 steps

I had grand plants to go to the hardware store early this morning...foiled by insomnia. Again. Instead, I slept in and went around 9:30 am with Inga and Ivy.

Ivy was complaining about her legs itching the entire way there and much of the way back. Every 2 seconds: "Wait! Wait!" Then she'd get mad because I wouldn't stop every 2 seconds.

We bought screws and washers. Our extra-strength caulk gun arrived on schedule so we're back on track for the ledger board installation. This afternoon our family was a pinball game, with everyone going all over town in various directions:
  • Ivy to the chateau with friends
  • Me to Riquier to pick up a package
  • Eric to Cavigal to coach Ivy's team
  • Zari and Inga to Cavigal on the tram
  • Ivy back home
  • Dio and Ivy with me to pick up his mouthguard at the orthodontist
  • Zari, Inga, and Eric back home from soccer

And finally...Zari got her braces on! She's trying to get used to them and is not impressed at the moment. Ivy said, "Wow, you look so good with braces!"


Eric made alouettes for dinner. Yum!

After dinner, he and I applied the epoxy to the holes we'd drilled and inserted the threaded rods. They should be completely set by tomorrow, allowing us to install the joist hangers and the joists! Exciting!
