More beans canned

 I picked two more buckets of beans this morning. We had some of them for dinner and I canned 14 more pints, 6 Blue Lake and 8 Roma.

Good start on beans

Yesterday, Heather and I started canning the beans. We picked the Romas (italian beans) first. We got 13 pints of them put up.

This morning, I went through the Blue Lake variety and got another bucket full. It took most of the morning, but I got 6 more pints put up. I am getting a little quicker at it the more I do it.
 

Canning season has begun

Natalie and I started this morning with the peaches Lisa picked up for us from the peach truck. We got 10 pounds, but ate several before the canning started.

We still got 9 pints put up.

Heather and I checked the garden later this afternoon and found a bunch of the beans were ready. These are the Roma. We canned 13 pints tonight. The Blue Lake are loaded as well, but they will have to wait until tomorrow. The summer squash is also producing, with more ready in a couple more days.
 

Cabinet floor done

Over the years, the old faucet in the kitchen had leaked and that waterlogged the bottom of the cabinet. That faucet was replaced a while ago and I started tearing the old wood out on Tuesday. It's all removed in this picture, down to the floor.

I measured and re-measured to try and get it close, but it's kind of hard to read a tape measure there. I did get it very close, though. Then I drew it out on the board and cut it. The original cabinet bottom was one piece, put in before the water lines and countertop. I had to break it up into a big jigsaw puzzle that I could get through the opening.

There is a total of 4 pieces that now make up the "floor" in the cabinet. They seamed together fairly nicely. We can now use the space under the kitchen sink again.
 

Kitchen cabinets finally finished

As you may recall, Natalie got the base cabinet painted a while ago.

Yesterday, I finally got the drawers and remaining doors painted.

Today was spent getting hardware and more stuff to finish the installation of the handles. For example, the screws for the knobs were fine, but the screws for the handles were all too short. The hardware store saw me several times today. But it is done and looks good.
 

Camping at Indian Lake State Park

All hooked up and ready to go. We were headed to Indian Lake in Ohio on Friday morning.

We picked up Wyatt, Natalie's younger son on our way. I got the camper set up and we were just relaxing a little bit.

It is a very big campground with well over 400 sites. They were all full this weekend.

We brought the bikes and rode around the campground several times. Blake (her other son) joined us for the day Saturday. We all had a good time.
 

New bumper on the truck

Today was spent replacing the rear bumper on the truck. When it had got dented, I ordered a new on. It arrived a couple weeks ago. Today was my first chance to swap it out. Naturally, it fought me most of the way, but in the end, I won. I still have to get a new sensor for the right side. It's been ordered.
