French apartment renovations, Day 199: Bookshelves

11,936 steps

Our Freeze Family Fitness summer worked today. The kids did PE With Joe in the morning, except for Ivy because she got mad and then had a bit of a tantrum. I went for a run and it was HOT because I left about an hour later than usual.

With their exercising and practicing done, the kids were allowed to play 1/2 hour of Minecraft (or for Zari, to read books on the phone).

Eric and I finished framing the area left over on the right side of the chimney, then we applied drywall to all the sides. Ivy helped for a little while, mixing MAP and washing tools. We got Dio and Inga to wash up after our 2nd round of MAP. Zari and Ivy cleaned off the old iron railing from the original mezzanine that we want to give away.

At the end of the work day, we worked on the framing that is hiding a lot of the electrical/ethernet cables. It's 3/4 done now. Then we can finally plaster in all of the cables where they run through the wall that bumps out.



We ended with a family swim right before dinner. All four kids were playing in the waves. It was one of those iconic moments where I felt that all was well with the world. Good work, good play, good memories together.


I had a Zoom meeting tonight, and Eric put on "Back To the Future" for the kids. They found it odd and hilarious.
