French apartment renovations, Day 545: Turn the music down!

It's Fete de la Musique tonight--celebrated every year on the Summer Solstice--and we're holed up with our windows closed and it's still TOO LOUD. Ugh. It would be better if it were actually good music, but it's the doof-doof-doof electronic music. It's so loud it hurts to hear it. Grumble grumble.

I was SO determined to get the walls all sanded today. However, my power sander didn't want to cooperate. AFter a while, the velcro pad lost its grip. The sandpaper would just fly off! Each new sandpaper lasted shorter and shorter until the newest one was on for all of 5 seconds.

It's annoying because I just replaced the velcro pad a few weeks ago. This shouldn't be happening.

So then I was at a bit of a loss for what to do. I shifted gears and framed in the French doors in Le Catamaran, then caulked and primed everything. I also painted the final coat in the 2 little windows in Le Catamaran.

Eric came down in the afternoon and did some little touch-ups with drywall compound.

We think Ivy has an abcessed tooth/gum. It's been hurting her for a few days. Our regular dentist is out of town this week so it's been tricky to find someone to take her. I finally made an appointment with someone who had an opening tomorrow morning. Poor girl. I'm just glad it's happening here and not in the US (where we have no dental insurance).

Dio skipped school to spend the day with his friend (this is normal the last week or two of middle school; they stop counting grades and only about half the students show up). They went to the beach in the morning and played games in the afternoon. He's going to skip again tomorrow and then we told him he does need to go to class the last 2 days this week.
