The electricians arrived early this morning and we all got to work. Unfortunately my task was quite boring – screwing down the deck boards on the two rear porches. That took nearly eight hours. After finishing that I started on the front porch stairs for the second house, but didn’t make much progress. I knocked off a little early and showered at the cottage before going to dinner at the dining hall on campus. It was pretty delicious. From there I drove home. Luke was of course asleep and Liz nearly was. Since arriving my cough has really gotten bad.

I picked up some wood at the lumberyard this morning and then went to the job site. I worked on railing and then stairs on the front porch of the first house. It went pretty well and the weather was great. I made a couple more trips to the lumberyard and worked until about seven. I stopped by Piggly Wiggly for some food and am now just relaxing.
