I arrived at the farm a few minutes before six. My dad came not too soon after. Fortunately he was pretty motivated for us to get working on the siding, because I was not. We started under the porch as it was in the shade. The pieces cut easily and were mostly easy to deal with but for their length and flexibility. I went out to Lowe’s so get some cheap paint to cover the cut edges with, but was fussed at because the premixed (and discounted) red was too strong. So we didn’t paint and just caulked. The plumber and electrician didn’t show up today. Not really a big deal though, since they aren’t holding us up. My new siding nail gun wasn’t due to arrive at the condo until today, so we nailed everything by hand. Tomorrow should be much more efficient. We drove to Home Depot in Spring Hill to get nails for the gun plus some lunch. On the way there I got a text saying that the scaffolding I had ordered online had arrived. That was a nice bonus. Lunch was at Sonic, a decision I regretted almost as soon as I finished eating. We spent the remainder of the afternoon putting up more siding. It started to rain a little after five. I hung around until 6:20 or so then hit the road. My dad was spending the night in order to save himself a couple hours of driving. The rain really cooled things down and freshened the air, so it should feel great tonight. Back at the Condo Liz and Luke are doing well, and my nail gun was waiting. It even has a nice plastic case. Not much else is going on. I held the little man for a while and also chopped up vegetables for some stew.
