More basement renovation.

Friday - Jul 13 - Biking 56 km

Bike to work in a downpour. Biked home in much nicer weather, stopping at The Healthiest Home for advice on how to get carpet glue off of a floor safely. They recommended a citrus based solvent. Rode to house 2 with a load of stuff, then to Home Depot to search for citrus based solvent. Found some called "Carpet Adhesive Remover" so bought a gallon. Rode back to house number 2 and spread this out on the floor. Probably should have bought 2 gallons, but managed to get a reasonable amount of the glue off of the floor. After a large clean up, rode back to house 1 around midnight.

Saturday - Jul 14 - Biking 14 km

Rode to house 2 and further prepped the floor by washing with TSP and then lots of water. Rode back home. Rode to Tom's for a housewarming of his new apartment.

Sunday - Jul 15 - Biking 63 km

Rode to house 2 to paint the floor. Hopefully one coat will suffice. As I could no longer access my tools on the other side of the basement, rode home, had lunch, then took the Specialized out for a spin around the Gatineau Parkway. Traffic was fairly heavy, but pretty much an even mix of cars and bicycles.

Weeks Total: Biking 311 km
Year to Date: Biking 4549 km, Hiking 46 km, Paddling 88 km, Skating 129 km, Skiing 187 km
