On Saturday morning I was up at 5AM and set to work on editing the dozens of photos I’d taken on Friday. My brother had gotten up and we were out cleaning out the trash shed by 7:30AM.
We were done by 8:30AM and I sat down for a while. I got a load in the dishwasher before heading out to mow at 10:30AM. It had been very foggy early on and I’d waited for the sun to come out and dry the grass some. I’d been able to get my post up while I waited.
I finished about mowing around 12:45PM and came inside where it was cool and sat down for a while. I made some lunch and the contractor called to say he was coming to move the ceiling fan upstairs.
About 2:15PM I was feeling ok so I headed out to the north side of the house to start cleaning out a garden. I picked the North Corner garden as it was still in shade and small. I managed to get the edge done before the contractor arrived.
We went to the second floor spare bedroom and took down the overhead light so we would know if the box would support the fan. Then it took quite a while to figure out how to take down the fan. I couldn’t find installation instructions anywhere, so we were winging it. He got the light fixture in and tested it.
Then we went to the second floor and it took a while to get the motor onto the box. We had to shim it some in the end but it moved evenly and easily when tested. It sure does move some air in that tiny room.
I was too tired and hot to deal with the light cover for the office. I’ll do it on Sunday. He left around 6:30PM and I made some supper and sat down for a while.
I got the house opened up as it cooled down then got a shower and was in bed by 9:15PM.
On Sunday Tom is coming out at 9:30AM to help me get the tarps off the Small garden. He only has until 11AM so we will have to work quickly. I plan to bring the pressure washer up for washing the tarps and get the truck in position for loading the wood that holds down the tarps.
But before all that my brother and I plan to wash the 4 big windows on the 2nd floor as early as he can get up. I have to get it prepped and I plan to start that at 7AM.
