prepped, phew

 Today was the last day, and I finished getting the last room—namely mine—ready. After three tries with tightening things and changing washers, I wound up having to get a new faucet, or tub filler, as it seems to be called. To install it, the side of the tub surround my bro made had to be taken apart, the rim sawed off and the side removed. But finally, the faucet replaced, it was done, nailed, polyurethaned and dried. The mattress pads replaced, new pillow protectors. The truck packed, this ayem off to the ferry for the last time til September.
  I am now in Providence. Phew.
