Good Morning All. Whoa! It's 66° and mostly clear. Just went through the house and opened many windows. High yesterday only hit 92° and today is forecast for 89°, nice light wind out of the north. This weather won't last long. The rain yesterday didn't amount to much, .3" was all that was in the rain gauge. Won't be enough to break the drought and there's none in the ten day forecast.
Got the new toilet for the remodeled bathroom yesterday and got it installed. Used the new shower without the elusive shower door, by simply putting up the old rod/curtain. Backwards hot/cold univalve didn't matter to me. He'll fix that when the door comes in and he gets time to return, possibly Friday. Then I'll have to reverse myself, sigh! For anyone else doing remodeling projects, remember that a happy wife does not buy off the shelf products for any home remodeling job.
Ran a lot of trains in the train shed yesterday, trying to get some mileage on all the locomotives. Paused for a day on the warehouse build. I'll inspect the paint job and touch it up today and possibly remember that you all like pictures. I also started to install some of the fascia that I cut last week. Can't decide yet on the color, although I dreamed that I took a loco down to HD and had them match the ATSF warbonnet blue!
Chet - There's certainly a dark cloud hanging over that rail pic from yesterday.
Curt -
Willie- I hope you get finished with your remodel soon.
What was supposed to be a three week job has now lasted five weeks, although there was a whole week and some scattered days of inactivity interspersed. The only real bother is that I want life to get back to normal; no more naps in the guest bedroom, no more having my contractor going in and out the door umpteen times an hour tracking dirt with him (and air-conditioning the back yard), no more tripping over tools left in the house overnight and during the day as well, no more Spanish music coming out of the bathroom, and not scheduling supper around his activity like water turned off. Twice he has worked late (past 9:00 pm) which also interferes with my sleep time!
I'm not meaning to sound negative about him personally, he's a great guy. He did suffer a setback when his helper got another job and left him working alone, but he is actually making more money by pocketing that $150/day himself! Actual working days are still three days under projection. We knew that there would be life disruptions going in to this project, and some of the delays have definitely been because of us. Next project, she has to have
everything selected and purchased before we start.
Sherrel - Sorry to hear of the ongoing issues with the HOA. I know that you really like where you live except for their BS, but maybe you could threaten to sell the house to some completely undesirable scumbag like a liberal California politician, Maxine, Kamela, Adam, Nancy, Dianne, they all come to mind. My HOA never gives me any problems, oh wait, I am the HOA!
Beady - Thanks for the update from Walther's and InterMountain.
Louis - A short Hello to you.
I don't like avocados.
Everybody have a great day.
