We started painting the garage with primer. The kitchen and living room will be ready to paint tomorrow. We put a finish coat of paint on the walls of the mechanical room and I picked up sheet vinyl flooring for the mechanical room. On that trip I also picked up the tile for the bathroom floor, bath walls, entry porch floor, and mud room floor.
The van was scraping bottom with more than 3,000 pounds of slate, porcelain, and glass tile plus thinset mortar! I’ve had more volume of stuff in this van (groceries for the food bank, for example) but never close to this much weight. I also sanded the ‘fur’ off the rough-sawn 2 x 12 planks that will shade my south-facing windows in the summer. There were many small (about 8mm) beetles living between the planks (see photo), which I had to sweep off before I could comfortably sand. These planks will be mounted on steel brackets (which I bolted to the studs before the insulation and stucco were installed) above each window. They will shade the windows fully on the summer solstice and not at all on the winter solstice. The painter was to come this afternoon to stain the interior doors and these planks. He came this morning to condition the doors. No big rush. All in “Taos time”.
Taos Community Chorus started the season tonight. We may be only the second group to sing this Mexican early Baroque Mass (attributed to Ignacio de Jerusalem) in the past 300 years. Also singing other early Mexican Baroque pieces, some secular including pieces by Salazar and Sumaya. The Mass is a real page-turner because it is set for two choirs, meaning that there are only four bars on some pages. And there are 105 pages to turn!
