- The roof is mostly on. The head-hancho roofer has to come re-do a bunch of venting that either got overlooked or won’t pass inspection as is.
- Had a second row over the carpenters who built the new gable; they cut the power cable to the A/C air handler and failed to tell anyone they did. It took a hundred-dollar HVAC repair call to discover this. There will be a third row over who pays the AC service call bill, ’cos I don’t see why I should pay for his people’s fuckups. They also did something to the outside light over the north door that makes it trip the circuit breaker whenever you try to turn it on. Probably that’s yet another row in Coming Attractions.
- M’s room is empty, the sewing room nearly so. This means the sheetrockers can get started to work early this week.
- T was home for several days of mental-health vacation. While here, she bought her first car of her own, a silver 2009 Malibu LT, for which she paid just about exactly the $18,500 she had expected to spend. The new car meant T was able to give back the ’95 Toyota T100 she borrowed from us, and I have something that I can haul things with, again, without gouging the paint or bending things.
- I bought T her first laptop, a Dell Latitude D630. It’s about 18 months old and should have another four years of service before it’s totally obsolete, and it’ll allow her to junk the Dimension 4400 she got second-hand from L’s mother, which is by now totally obsolete.
- Split some of the sawed-up wood from The Shedding Tree, decided I need to go buy a new blade for my bench saw ’cos the old one will barely cut butter. (Yes, I use the bench saw to make preliminary scores, then finish splitting the billets with a hatchet and engineer’s hammer.)
