The weather was nasty today – cold and rainy. It was hard to get motivated, but fortunately my dad came down to help again. Also, the electric company gave us a service release, so they can come hook up power soon. We worked on a bunch of little things around the house. It was tedious, but we are at least getting closer to completion. The big problem came at the end of the day when we were preparing to set the stove into place. It seems that I put one cabinet in the wrong position and so there wasn’t room for the stove. Talk about frustrating! I removed the cabinet and will need to modify it some before repositioning it.
Installing door knobs AKA admitting defeat.
I installed light bulbs and door knobs today. I had been holding off on the latter because I was hoping to paint the doors first. Bit now I’m giving up and just trying to get is moved in. I’ll paint the doors in the spring. My dad worked on trim and drywall. Things are looking better.
Still cold, but making progress.
Got a big truckload of gravel delivered today and put it in the garage. The electrician/plumber made good progress.
Monday blues.
I didn’t leave the mountain as early as hoped this morning, but managed to arrive at the farm around ten. I took the mostly scenic route. There was a very light dusting of snow at the cottage. The drive through town and down the mountain was very foggy, but it cleared up in the valley. I ran a bunch of errands around Spring Hill and Columbia before returning to the farm and finishing the trench for the water line and adding more busted concrete block to the garage floor. I think I found a concrete guy who will pour that, I just need to put down some gravel first. Tomorrow should be a little warmer. I will try to burn some and maybe haul trash to the dump in addition to moving more dirt around and ordering gravel. It’s cold tonight.
Another unproductive Sunday.
It was super foggy this morning. I tried to sleep in but couldn’t. The goats weren’t out and there wasn’t much to do. I drove around a little and did some journaling.
