Hot and sunny in Houston again.\u00a0 Plenty of humidity too.\u00a0\u00a0 I didn’t see what the official high was yesterday, but I did notice my thermometer reading 95F in the sun.\u00a0 That’s plenty hot.<\/p>\n
I didn’t do much yesterday.\u00a0\u00a0 My back was killing me.\u00a0 Did one pickup for the BOL on my way to my client’s house.\u00a0 Fixed his issue, a control box stuck in an ‘off’ condition until pulling the power, waiting, and re-powering.\u00a0 That was a weird one.<\/p>\n
Spoke with his\u00a0 wife, their kitchen remodel is pushing off a month or possibly two, due to not being able to get their appliances.\u00a0 Those were ordered last year, for May delivery… and now they are saying August maybe but really probably October.\u00a0 Even the very high end of the market is having supply issues now.<\/p>\n
Came home and had a lie down.\u00a0 Didn’t mean to fall asleep, just wanted to get pressure off my spine, but hey, I’ll take sleep when it comes.<\/p>\n
Did an email exchange with my septic installer.\u00a0 He’s starting to buy stuff for the system. Still can’t get the drip hose but feels confident about the other components.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I reiterated that we’ll pay for the stuff, and he should just buy it.<\/p>\n
I’m bidding on some used construction materials for use here in the attic, and small projects at the BOL.\u00a0\u00a0 I’m thinking of raiding my neighbor’s open top dumpster for used 2x4s from their remodel.\u00a0\u00a0 Freaking 2x4x8 lumber is $7 at lowes.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ll be building with pallets and tarps soon if prices don’t come down.<\/p>\n
Stack it while you can.\u00a0 You’ll need it.<\/p>\n
