Monday, June 4th, 2018…… This morning I got up and moving pretty
early. First task today was to go to
Walmart. I needed some things for
projects plus I got a knee brace that I wanted before our trip. I hit that
section first and chose the third of four kinds that they had. I had tried on two of the others when we were
last there and wore them around the store but they weren’t comfortable so I
didn’t buy anything. This time I liked
the one I chose and bought that one and wore it out of the store and ended up
wearing it all day. It made a difference
but I was getting better anyway. I just
want to be sure to have full range of knee motion for the bike ride on Maui. I
also looked for a garden wagon that Lydia wants for her birthday. She enjoys her time out in the garden and she
has seen these wagons used to carry her tools and also to haul clippings and
such. Walmart sells them but only online so when I got back my sister went to
Amazon and found one Lydia liked so we ordered it. I also bought another metal
wrought iron plant hanger for the yard.
Lydia bought one of those bug zappers from QVC and it really works for
us in the backyard so she went in and ordered another one for the front
yard. We needed another hanger so I got
one. I got that one installed and plugged in and working so that’s done. The drywall tapers didn’t make it today. Something about one of the crew being out of
town. Dana said they will be here
Wednesday, same day as the attic insulation guy. But they shouldn’t be in each
other’s way. Tim worked on a few small
jobs while Dana worked on cleaning up the jobsite. Then they started prepping
and laying out the area next to the garage for the foundation for the guest
pad. It will be 16’x48’ with 50amp and
water. I’m also having him prep the area around it for gravel rather than try
to maintain the small patch of field grass that’s there now.
End of day 40....
Tuesday, June 5th, 2018…… Rylee
was quiet this morning and didn’t get me up until around 6:30am so that was
nice. Once I got up and ready for the
day I went out and worked in my shop for a bit.
Haven’t done much out there lately but I did want to clean it up a bit. Tim
and Dana worked some more on the rv pad. He also moved the big pile of dirt
from the garage excavation. My first plan was to have him haul it off but he
suggested that he can distribute it out behind the garage and that will create
a better drain field away from the building. It agreed and it worked and it
looks good. I’ll have him do the same to the Walt’s old burn pile which he can
also use his tractor to distribute out in the west forty. I still want to go
out there with my truck and relocate all of the old logs that Walt left from a
tree he must have cut down a few years ago.
He’s dumped old pallets out there and it’s overgrown so it needs help.
But I’m still trying not to put any unneeded stress on my healing knee. Later, we ate dinner and watched two of the
four Guys Grocery Games we were behind on. Then we went off and watched our own
shows until bedtime. Rylee got another full night on the bed with us. Right now, even though she’s over 30 pounds,
we hardly notice her on the cal king bed!
