9 hours, 12 feet off the ground scraping, wire brushing and cleaning out some really old school steel gutters today for my buddy's dad. I don't think I've ever been on a ladder that long in one day. It's a full body workout.
He owes me big for that one.
I'm toast. Going to bed early tonight, and that dinner is going to taste great.
Heh. Yeah.
Got a bit of a kink in my neck right now I'm hoping to work out today.
I know he wanted me back to paint them today and I told him we'll play it by ear. There's 97% chance of rain with thunderstorms, so I don't think I'll be doing that today.
I need to get back out in my garage right now anyhow and try to make more progress and work around the fact I probably only have enough 2x4's to make 4 more shelving units right now. He nor his son had any scrap 2x4's. I'm hoping my neighbor still does.
I'm going to be putting grout marker to my aunt's shower in her new apartment and fixing a few odds and ends on Thursday, and the rest of the day into Friday I'll be making some repairs at my grandma's house.
I REALLY need to get that garage moving so I can work on my car and I can order all the mulch/rock/dirt that's on sale until Saturday.

Uggggh.... Be safe Brenda.
Over 70 and thunderstorms all day today. I thought we were getting whatever you're getting but the forecast here got a bit warmer, although it looks like plenty of rain in the 40's starting Sunday.

That blizzard is and will be well away from me. Alberta sits between BC and Saskatchewan.
My area is just looking at some possible rain today but it's dry right now.

It's going to be an expensive weekend...
I don't see how I can pass the deal up though, even though I'm not even close to being ready to use it. I won't be able to do any real measurements of what I would probably need until Saturday, but right now I'm guessing that I'll need around 5 tons of river rock for all the landscaping I want to do. The price for that right now would be a little under $500 with the sale price. If I wanted to do it later without the sale it would be over $1,300.
Although it is possible that I could get the stuff at the same price as the sale or possibly a little cheaper by having the place that dumped 12 tons of dirt here for me many years back, they'd just dump it in the street and the city would give me a day or two to clear it out, and there's no good place to put it temporarily in loose form.
Not that getting the bags to my place is going to be a fun day either, but at least in bag form they're a lot more manageable and stackable.
We'll see what happens. I'd feel a lot better buying this if my dumb tax return would ever show up.

Yeah, it was a good morning. This player is a lovely lady and even for not playing for 2 years she still finished up with over 3,000points. She doesn't play as fast as she used to but she played really well and it was so good to see her. :)
