I cleaned the garage and played with Luke. Also cooked two meals in the slow cooker. Followed a little football. Spent a lot of time on the computer looking at Black Friday deals. Didn’t take any pictures.
Nasty, unproductive day.
It was raining this morning. I hauled the tools to the storage unit then went to the office and paid my bill. I chatted with my dad for a bit. He spent last night at the cottage. I went next door to see if Debbie was around, but she wasn’t. I took a somewhat new route home this afternoon. My mother was there looking after Luke, who is a little sick. I went to Kroger then spent the rest of the afternoon playing with him.
Strong start, wet finish.
It was a pretty morning and I installed more window trim, along with some corner trim. Then it started raining. I went to the cottage for lunch, then got a text from Liz saying that a guy from the water company came out and said we were using a lot more water than normal and probably had a leak. With visions of water pouring out of pipes under the house dancing in my head, I raced home. Looked under the house and apartment, no leaks. Walked to the meter, no wet spots. The meter didn’t seem to be indicating excess usage. Liz told me everything the guy said. Seems like much ado about nothing. We did have some guests staying with us recently, which probably explains things. I stayed through Luke’s bedtime before returning to the Mountain.
Lots of stuff.
This morning I picked up an enclosed U-Haul trailer then headed to North Nashville. I met my dad at his storage unit where we proceeded to load up a bunch of my stuff. Some of it is very good to have again, and there was also a lot of junk, maybe old cabinets that he broke down in order to haul them off. I drove to the farm to drop some stuff off in the garage and put the rest on the burn pile. I loaded up some trash and cardboard then headed back up to the mountain. I just made it to the dump in time to drop it all off. Then I went by the house to check on my helper and his son who were just finishing up for the day. They had done everything that I had asked them to.
In your fascia.
I started staining this morning, then when my helper and his son arrived we installed fascia. It is cedar 1×8, and I feel like it looks pretty fantastic. After dark I set up lights and started putting trim around the windows.
