Harvests, Chiro, Finding Wood, Finish Shed Wall, Power, J's Door Issue, Spider - Tuesday

in #hive-11430813 days ago

Got boys to school first thing yesterday but J is still not getting to school early enough so he has to eat breakfast at home thanks to the bus ride. At least we know now. I got the trio picked, weighed, and put away.

I had my chiro appointment and holy crap did I need it. The decompression instantly helped my lower back and then the roller did wonders before the adjustment worked my spine nicely. I felt much better afterwards.

I stopped at North 40 and got a new rake and post hole shovel as they are 20% off now. I then headed out to the garden to pull most of the rest of the carrots from the row which amounted to 2 pounds after the tops were removed.

It then took me a good bit of wandering and digging to find enough pieces of OSB scraps then haul them all to the yard. With this I pulled more than half the stuff from the shed and piled it in the yard, but still have more to drag out so I can lift the other side of the shed.

The pieces were all screwy shaped, triangular, strips, and just odd shapes. I only needed 4 foot lengths si I was able to hack the scrap down to useful sizes.

I had to add a piece of wood to the end of the wall to take up the bit of space but then the OSB pieces got put up.

The boys got home from school as I was taking a short break and soon I was back out putting the last pieces up on the wall.

The Tyvek went up to cover the wood and protect it from "WINTER IS COMING". I will end up working on the roof again as the 3 sheets of shit wood need to be replaced on the left side of the roof.

I had pulled the power wire that ran across the yard to rerun it and now needed the lights. The wire got laid along the fence then I went over the wall of my studio and plugged the line in.

I'm only running LED lights so don't need tons of power.

As I was finishing the lighting R came running out saying the J was locked in his room.... OKAY... So in I go to find that his door really won't open. I tried to get him to jimmy it from the inside but he couldn't so I climbed in through his window and got to work on it. I had to pull the thing apart and found that in their constant slamming of the door they broke a little pot metal ring that moves the latch back and forth. The pieces in my spare parts bin of course won't work. For now his door won't latch.

Out to soak which was very nice on my sore back.

As I was going to get into soak I noticed the dark blob hanging below the ac unit. I love the barn spiders all over the farm, they are super voracious predators.

Today I am ordering the motor and controller for the scooter conversion I am going to do so I have transport between landing zones and my vehicle when out flying. I have so much work to do still on the shed and now the yard that is full of the shed contents. Boys to school, harvests, try to fix my bricked S9 after an attempted upgrade, pick the boys up early and take them to town to the dentist, and come up with something for dinner this evening.

If it’s not one thing, it’s another…

It doesn't help his door is from 1928 when the house was built. I was going to swap for another of the old ones but the door has no lock and R is a bit to pushy so J needs a lock. But this lack of lock may make it a mute point.
