Taking time off from work this week to try and get projects done. Today I cut up a couple of pallets for kindling, and spent most of the day wielding a shovel. Finished running the tracer wire so I could backfill the gas line excavation. Finally, no big hole next to my foundation! So far I've managed to backfill about a third of the trench. I can go a lot longer now that it's not hot outside, working for hours instead of minutes, but my old shoulder calls a halt before the sun goes down.
Seems I take two steps back for every one forward, it's been a few days of small disasters. Brother came to install new disconnect for the minisplit but forgot to bring wire, so it didn't get done. Putting up new curtain rods, decide to throw curtains in washer while doing so. Washer fill valve malfunctions and floods the room, which is currently just OSB because I'm remodeling. Hems gave way on the curtains so many, many long unraveling threads wrapped around the agitator. Part missing on new curtain rods, try to talk to seller but I can only return for refund. Amazon won't allow any other options. It's on the wall, not going to take it back down! Garage door opener went insane, stops, backs up, goes down, won't go down, won't go up. It's psycho. My woodstove has one of those catalytic converters you have to slide into place when the temp is right. The gasket on that came loose again and stuck it halfway, so had to let the fire go out and the stove cool to deal with that. Haven't had any deer when I'm out there looking for them with my shotgun, but every time I walk the dog some big does run through.
Think I'll go to bed early tonight.
