Hot and the other ‘h’ word. In spades, with cherries on top. Yeah, it was yesterday and will be again today. As I was at the rent house, I couldn’t get an actual temp reading, but the A\/C unit couldn’t keep up. It started falling behind around 2pm.<\/p>\n
I got a bunch of tasks done at the rental. Started the biggest two, repairing the ceiling, and replacing rotten porch floor boards. I had just enough left over from last time to do almost all of what needed it the most. If I had another couple feet of board, I’d do more. It’s all cut, but I didn’t have glue so I left that for today. The ceiling crack needed to dry, so I’ll add another coat today. The big outdoor job that isn’t the fence is to replace rotten siding boards, and then fix the gutter situation that caused them to be wet and rot in the first place.<\/p>\n
Wife and kids will be there cleaning and painting today too. I may have to work outside on the fence… just to get away. Maybe I’ll bring the pressure washer and see how much that improves things. It’s probably time to paint the whole house too, but I’m hoping to put that off another year. Houses need constant attention. If they don’t get it, you end up doing the work in bursts, and they take longer and cost more. There are a lot of things like that in life. Unfortunately, I only have the attention to spare at fairly long intervals, which means things like rotten siding can get out of hand.<\/p>\n
Oh well, it is what it is. At least I can do the work.<\/p>\n
Always be…. or stack. Or both. But do something.<\/p>\n
