Loaded up the Tacoma with all the recyclables (four tons of cardboard boxes that the Anderson windows came in plus assorted other stuff) and headed down to the Leicester recycling facility… that is open on the first and third Saturdays of the month, and this is the fourth Saturday.  So brought it all back again and had just finished unloading everything when Marty told me the Brandon recycling facility is open today.  Too late!  Big project for today was to seal the Garage floor with the special (read: expensive) sealant that keeps salt from getting into the concrete.  That product is put on with a 9″ paint roller, which obviously is much easier done standing up rather than crawling around on your knees.  Discovered that my paint roller extension handles were all in Virginia, even though, when I was in Virginia and actually had my hands on one of those handles, I was sure there was at least one in Vermont.  Grrrr!  Fortunately, Marty had an old brush handle that did the trick, and the Garage floor has its first coat of sealant.  (A second and final coat will go on this fall.)  Jimmy Ploof stopped by twice to drop off more heavy equipment.  Spent part of the afternoon wrestling with Nature, who put up a good fight… lost a tee shirt and gained a scar during the battle.
