A little sun, a little fun.

I got a pretty early start this morning, just as the rain was tailing off. The first order of business was to finish the railing on the front porch. Or all of it but one end anyways. There were a couple of hiccups, but it ended up looking okay. Next I trimmed out the skirting on the porch and back deck. Then I cut and temporarily placed the rail caps for the deck and also installed the last of the goat panels. Well, except for the ones on the stairs. I had to go to Home Depot for a couple more deck boards and so I also bought three toilets and a water heater. Back at the house I installed the last of the deck boards and then took all of the tools inside. I hit the road just before two. I went a semi back way, dropping off three bags of trash at the dump before driving through Chapel Hill and Bell Buckle on my way to the interstate. Up on the mountain I stopped at the cottage to turn on the water heater, then headed over to campus. The goats were out, so I took a few pictures. I dropped by Hallelujah Pottery and spoke with Debbie for a while before going to Piggly Wiggly for supplies. Back at the cottage I showered and relaxed a bit. After eating I drove through town then came back to the cottage.
