I got to the job site around eight this morning and focused on completing the back porch. That took a bit longer that expected and I didn’t finish until nearly two. Then I went to the Goat Market to hang out with Eric and Spenser for a while. That also took a bit longer than expected. I returned to the house to clean up some and install one board on the front porch. Around five I packed up and drove down to Lowe’s in Kimball for a few tools. I next drove to campus, but the dining hall closed at seven instead of eight this evening. That was a letdown, but I did go get a few things at Piggly Wiggly. Now I’m just relaxing at the cottage.

I got to the job site around seven this morning and worked on the back porch ceiling for three hours or so. I made great progress and am hopefully just a day away from finishing it and the front porch. After packing up my tools I went to the dump, gas station, and lumberyard. Next I went to the cottage to clean it and pack up. After another stop at the Lumberyard and a visit to Dollar Tree for some munchies, I started to prepare for painting. Covering up all the windows took a little longer than expected, but eventually I finished. Setting up the lights and heater went quickly. Finally I was ready to paint. I didn’t bother with the closets, but everything else took a little under two hours. After painting I sealed up the house and let the heater run. In the meantime I brought over the rest of the pine porch ceiling lumber from next door and set it on the back deck. After packing up I went to the cottage and chatted with Lauren for a bit. I also played with Wild Dog. My parents returned from campus and I talked with them for a bit before returning to the cottage to shut off the generator and heater. I drove home via the Chick-fil-a in Tullahoma. My shower felt great and I hope to go to bed soon.
