I was a little late getting to the farm this morning. It was about 6:30. While it wasn’t hot yet it was plenty humid and we were quickly soaking wet. My dad had the idea to set up a fan outside and that provided some relief. Unfortunately my power strip wasn’t working, probably due to getting wet last night, so we lost a lot of time plugging and unplugging various tools. The rain also made a muddy mess of things. We focused our energy on the back of the house as it was fairly easy to reach. That went pretty well. The new nail gun was a huge hit. My dad left around noon and I went to lunch at a burger joint I had never been to before. The burger was great, the fries were mediocre, and the milkshake below average. I ate outside because I was pretty dirty and also didn’t want to get spoiled by the air conditioning. After returning to the house and tidying things up a little I went to the lumberyard to buy materials for the front porch. Since delivery was only fifteen dollars I chose that. Everything should come tomorrow. The electrician came by to drop off some supplies just as I was walking out to build some scaffolding. He said that I could borrow a couple of extension ladders and a platform instead. That will be great. Then we talked for about an hour and a half. He is a very nice guy and that was enjoyable. Plus it was super hot and I didn’t feel too much like working. After he left I moved some siding into position for tomorrow and built a cutting rack that should save a lot of time. Lastly I loaded a bunch of trash into the car and hauled it back to the dumpster at the condo.
