Pieder greeted us to his home and went to work on the car. We thought it was the alternator. While working, he was made aware that the water heater was leaking. He dealt with that, running back and forth to the hardware and auto supply store. He never got either thing totally fixed. In the meantime the boys and I began painting their room. I did the trim and they manned the sponge roller. I thought from the beginning that there was not enough blue paint in the quart to cover the wall. There wasn’t. We finished what we could after lunch and then started the green wall. This wall had a door so we had plenty of paint. (We didn’t paint the door.) We had a good time bonding together. Unfortunately Noah left a big green spot of paint on the front walk. No one noticed for several hours. I tried to clean it up but will have to work on it some more tomorrow. Evelyn spent most of the day reupholstering two cushions for some chairs and made a pillow cover. She also fixed supper because Emily had to go shopping for many things among which was a gallon of blue paint. The boys and I played Texas Hold ‘Em again until bedtime. I had to kneel and stretch a great deal while painting and will no doubt be very stiff and sore tomorrow. It was a bit warmer and less windy today. We don’t think we will need to use the small electric heater tonight. I called the extended warranty company who will not cover the damage to the counter top. They did suggest that the Koran usually carries a 10 year warranty. I passed this information on to the people at Rexhall who didn’t want to accept any responsibility. Since I have been unhappy with the return call policy at that place, I am going to try getting an appointment with the owner sometime this week.
