Finally got a hold of the electrician who said he will come finish on Monday. Got vent covers from the HVAC guy. Most will need a bit of work to get in place. Spackled a bit, which was really tedious. Resisted the urge to go to the mountain this afternoon. Will go tomorrow.
Well, it was a pretty good day. My dad came down and we got a lot done. He focused on finishing up everything that needed to be done in the bathrooms. This included some trim and transitions between tile and laminate flooring. That has really made a huge difference in how they look. I finished hanging drywall in the garage. Tomorrow I will tape and mud it. It is supposed to be very cold tonight and tomorrow so maybe I’ll just do inside work.
I put in what was probably my best day’s work in a while. I felt motivated and really got a lot done. That work happened in the garage, where I put sheetrock on the 14 foot ceiling. I had to rig up a special contraption using scaffolding and my lift. It was pretty awkward but I got a bit done. More than in the picture and will hopefully finish up tomorrow. It was rainy and nasty today and is about to get cold for a few days.
This morning I went to the county and they told me that I can get a temporary occupancy permit. The major hurdle is that we need our final electrical inspection first and I don’t know when that will happen. There are also a bunch of little things I need to do. The weather is finally decent today, sunny and relatively warm. Tomorrow brings rain, then the following days cold temperatures. I am still really struggling with motivation issues. I didn’t get much else done today besides fixing the out of place cabinet and buying sheetrock for the garage. Tomorrow I will try to install the sheetrock although it will be a challenge given the height of the garage ceiling. This evening I will go to Home Depot in Spring Hill, then try to eat a healthy dinner somewhere.
Well, the blood moon eclipse last night was pretty cool. I stepped out in the back deck several times to see it. Unfortunately I was too lazy to get my camera from the car and take pictures. I did snap one with my phone, shown below. Yes, that’s the moon in the middle of the frame, looking like a speck of dust. I definitely hope to photograph the next one though, because it looked awesome.
I think I missed a great sunrise this morning, but lacked the energy to get out of bed at the crack. After cleaning up and packing I hit the road. I went the back way and avoided all towns of any size. I worked around the house and ran errands for the rest of the day.
