This morning Luke and I played a bit both before and after breakfast until it was time for me to go. I drove to Tullahoma, where I stopped at Lowe’s, Harbor Freight, and OfficeMax. All three stops were productive. I made it up to Monteagle and dropped off the lumber and ladders at the job site, spread the gravel on the driveways, moved some dirt around one house, and dropped some stuff from my car at the storage unit. I filled up all of my gas cans and ran the generators a little bit, topped them all off, then went to refill three gas cans. I came back to the cottage and have been printing out things for tomorrow and finalizing everything. Hopefully things will go smoothly. There is a lot to go wrong, but I am feeling okay. I will be trying to go to bed very soon since I will be getting up at the crack.

This morning I drove down to the window place in Winchester to pick up my windows. Google said they open at seven, but that was not true, so I waited in my car from 7:15 to eight. Once they opened we loaded up then windows, and I took them up to the storage unit. It was tough unloading them all by myself. Next I met Dillon at the jobsite to drop off a load of gravel and load logs into his dump truck. We talked for a long time, but it was good. After leaving there I went by the lumberyard to line up material delivery for Monday. Lastly I returned to the cottage to clean and pack before hitting the road. I stopped at Lowe’s in Tullahoma for some gardening stuff before arriving home a little before four. Soon after that Liz, Luke, and I packed up and drove to Port Royal park. I left them and went to get pizza for a picnic dinner. Fortunately that was enough to get him away from the splash pad. We had a nice meal and then went home for the normal evening routine. The surprise was that I spoke with the framer while waiting on the pizza, and he is sending up two crews on Monday, one for each house. So I will need to get up there tomorrow evening in order to do a lot more prep work than expected. It’s exciting but also pretty overwhelming.

This morning I finished sealing the block, which wasn’t too bad since I was in the shade most of the time. I did take a break for some water at the Goat Market though. On the way home I stopped at a metal roofing place in Manchester and another one in Chapel Hill, as well as the dump in Columbia. I arrived home while Liz was still working and Luke was out with Madeline. After loading some things in the car and taking a shower, Luke was home and I played with him until dinner. We ate outside and then cleaned up, had a bath, and then did bedtime. Now I am just doing a little office work.
