How was your month for Free Range Naturism?

Save the trash take out until the dark of evening. Then, just sit down somewhere, maybe in some "grass" and enjoy the evening meditation. A buzz and a break...

We’ve been doing some remodeling and as long as it’s just us doing the work, I am naked. My wife has accepted that if we are at home, I am usually naked. For her now that’s the norm.

If we have workers about I can’t do that. Most of the work is indoors so not much happening with outdoor nudity, but the lack of constraint of clothes when stripping wallpaper or painting a wall makes the work more enjoyable. And cooler.

Plus no paint stained clothes to clean up.

More scraping and wallpaper removal today, all done nude. That helped make up for the tedium.
Patching, sanding and painting is ok, but I truly do not like stripping wallpaper off.

Stripping off to do the stripping off was ok, though.

I find that the additional freedom of movement when not constrained by clothing often makes the work easier.

whats the common method of stripping (wallpaper) accross the pond.... mrs watches a yank property renovation programme on tv , they seem to just hack and scrape .   overhere we use a steamer to dampen the paper and melt the paste and the paper nearly falls off .... though does get a bit like being in a sauna

I hadn’t seen the steamer option.

Looked it up and wished I had. We were using a solvent. A bit smelly but we opened the windows and if you allow it to soak in it worked fairly well. Most of the paper came off easily but some of the border paper we used was the self-adhesive type and that stuff was a beast. Definitely a lot of scraping on that. Either way afterwards you have to scrub the walls, patch as needed, primer then paint.

My guess is that most use the chemistry route. It seems to be the one most advertised. It doesn't matter as we passed a law for this house, "NO MORE WALLPAPER". We have also relegated the word 'wallpaper' to the status of a vulgarity.

That’s right, Mom & Dad, plenty fun for the whole family!
Rack up a six pack of cd’s, crank it up, lubricate with BEER and before you know it, you’re done.

As for the my monthly nudity activities, after the wallpaper unpleasantness, we cleaned the walls, patched the plaster as needed (a lot) and then painted.

All done in my birthday suit. It made up for all the wallpaper (used under new meaning) activity. It's great how being naked makes things more pleasant.

And cooler. And the clean-up is easy. Just rinse off.

Dear dear,
No month roundups since August!  I will have to compose something  logbookish for October in a week or so.
Also, it seems we are sliding into winter pattern early this year.  I posted some stuff yesterday (Saturday) and not a single post today.  Remarkable. Has there been a day without any posts in living memory?
Just hope Jbee & DF are off hiking somewhere and leading us to suppose there may be a nice trip report soon!

Trip report of this weekend is in the works. Got four recent trips in the works. We are trying to rack up what we can together before this extra hot weather goes away and her daughter arrives to live with her until she gets on her feet.
Yes, there are days when there are no posts. When it gets like that, I start looking for old topics and I have a trip report each week. Ebb and Flow, feast or famine.

It seems that here, and a few other places I frequent, things have been slow.  I can't speak for everyone but September was an exceptionally warm and dry month here. Even the beginning of October held much promise with the latest cold and rain spell arriving this past Monday. However, as welcoming and tempting the weather was for this naturist my last six weeks have been spent being nurse, cook, house cleaner and shopper as the wife has been plagued by some intestinal problem which has yet to be resolved. Long story short, our doctors are reluctant to be too aggressive due to to other medical issues. So my free range time has been limited to a few walks, at the wife's urging,  just to clear my had and relax. So I have not that much to report except what tan I had is fading quickly which is of some concern to my renal specialist.

Sorry to hear about your problems, Nudewalker.
Could I wish you both a speedy and successful resolution to whatever is ailing your wife.

I also wish your wife a speedy recovery, Nudewalker.  Weather around here has been news worthy as well.  I am recovering admirably from the Memorial Day mishap, and can speak first hand to how life marches on, regardless of your own intentions or druthers.  Early in October I received a notice from the electrical contractor that they needed to trim some of my trees.  They could only trim the trees on the distribution lines, I would have to take responsibility for the service lines leading to the house.  The pecan tree had branched out to the point that it was interfering with those lines.  Being a bonafide forester, I was up to the task. 

October also presented itself with several warm sunny days to take the sailboat out on the bay.  The wind was rather strong on most days, limiting my photography opportunities, but I did get one day of calm seas and gentile breezes.

I did get one day free to visit the beach.  The day was glorious, but the high tide made driving very challenging.  This meant that only the serious beach enthusiasts were there.


Be Safe & Be Bare,
Safebare

I am still trying to master the photo inserting thing.  Here is the photo from the beach trip.

My goodness me you are brave!  One slip of the chain saw and ....catastrophe!!
We only get pecans in packets in the supermarket in the UK!
