Adventures in Retirement
I’ve been trying to knock a bunch of things off the job list before we head east for a couple weeks. Made pretty good progress too, with only one small job left to do before I can either work in the yard for a couple weeks or start the next major job. I spoke with that client a couple days ago and she’s not totally convinced to go ahead yet, so maybe I get some time to do my own thing soon
Shed doors going up. So glad we decided metal frames and barn boards.
It must be July.
Thirty plus temperatures, packed village parking lot and long ferry lines are once again harbingers of the return of summer and our thousands of seasonal visitors.
This means the end of any rainfall for the next three months. We entered shutdown mode for construction two days ago and fire bans are in place. So naturally we have already had our first fire department response to a campfire that got out of control. It is just insane that anyone would even think about lighting a fire when the forest is so dry. Sad to think about. I’ve lost one home to forest fire and really don’t want to lose a second.
On the work front I have a few projects I am moving along. New flooring and a fresh coat of paint for a guest bedroom, sliding barn doors for a large storage shed and managed to sneak in one last lawn mowing for someone just under the wire before shutdown made that not possible.
I’m not sure if I will start any new work projects before the fall. I have enough in my own yard to work on without adding to the list. I still have three of four weeks of client work in cold storage so if I change my mind I can always from something to work on.
