Geez. You've been getting up to 125 degrees? That the "feels like" temperature, right, not the legit temp?

When you look for a new mattress, maybe it's time to treat yourself to one of those fancy ones you see on TV? I'm sure at least one of them have to be climate controlled.
Nothing I'd ever buy of course, so forgive me for spending your money for you.

You probably need more air conditioners too. I wouldn't rule that out. Your old ones are probably fine but just can't keep up. 125 real temp is just gross, even if the humidity is reasonable. I don't think I've ever lived anywhere where it's reached 125 real temp for a single minute. You in the middle of a desert or something?

Looks like we ended up getting just about an inch of rain last night. Not as much as it could have been, but still less than I was hoping for to test the roof patch. Not that we really need 2 or 3 inches here, but it would have been nice if we had a 10 or 15 minute downpour to really test.
Not a drop inside though. I'm probably good. I'm just going to have to try to push that one down deep in the back of my mind for now and not worry about it until we get a real rain around here again.

No, just inland of SoCal, away from the temperature-moderating ocean. But I am within as short drive of a desert.

That's unfortunate...
I think I'd still trade you my floodplain for your hot weather though.

At least you now know about wallmounting and that it won't work for you!
I find internet searches are good for figuring out 'what's out there' and maybe introducing me to things I didn't know about or options I never considered.
But yeah, you can go to stores where you can look at what's available, try them out, maybe even measure them, and so on, and once you decide and purchase them in-store you can have them delivered.
They got no business so they pulled out.
Going to have a look see at a Thrift store today. And maybe check the internet tonight.

Out for my walk and I am debating about hauling my umbrella along for the ride.
Later peeps.

My local Walmart doesn't do home deliveries. Stopped at the customer service desk.
Also local Salvation Army thrift shop doesn't have anything really useful to me in.
So, I am stuck with the make do for now.

I just want to make sure that you didn't talk to somebody who didn't get what you're talking about here, Brenda...
It looks like it's a corporatewide thing. Granted, I can't say for sure if that's just in the US or not, but I'm going to see if I can do a little digging for you.
When you say "your local Walmart doesn't do home deliveries", I think it's possible you were asking the wrong question.
It wouldn't be your local Walmart delivering anything. It would be from a warehouse (similar to Amazon), or from one of many, many, many 3rd party sellers that use the Walmart Online storefront (similar to 3rd party companies on Amazon).
You'd simply make the order online, but instead of paying with a credit card you would select the "pay cash at store" option. All the local Walmart would be doing in this transaction is taking your printed out order form at the service counter, taking your money and putting it in the system that you paid, and then giving you a receipt for the money.
After that, the warehouse or 3rd party seller would ship the product to you.

Productive day. 
Turns out the fascia and sub fascia on the garage that I never replaced is all good, so all I had to do was beat a few spots back into shape and throw some extra nails in it. I'll wash it down and give it a fresh coat of paint along with the rest of the aluminum on the garage before the gutters go up. (Eventually I'm going to paint all of the aluminum since the garage service door looks great and I want all of the white to be that clean looking).
Made my repairs to all the sub fascia on the back of the house and threw the primer up there. Only one spot left on the front of the house that I need to repair and paint and it's all ready for new fascia that I need to put a fabrication order in for.
Tomorrow, I'm going to caulk the hell out of everything too wherever it could use it since it's all exposed. Probably don't need to do that since the new fascia is going up and after the gutters go up I'll be using gutter aprons, but it can't hurt nothing and caulk is cheap.
I also finally tore out the crappy rusted chain link fence that had been shifting and looking awful. That was a job and a half. Hopefully the light haulers come and take that all away. Don't know if the city will pick it up and I'd rather not burn through a couple of sawzall blades to get them into my trash cans.
Then I found time to just barely mow my lawn again before the sun went down.
