Walk in and picked up a Christmas present for a kitty. *L*
More rain for today. Got rained on on my way home.

Got the new porch door installed this week, but it's probably too late to paint it and the door frame. I might have to seal it all up for the winter to protect it all from the elements.
Mixed emotions of grateful for the help and annoyed that it took this long that I'm wrestling with right now.
I hate winter. Hate, hate, hate, hate it.
I should have enough inside to keep me busy. Heat will be turned down super low this year though, so not sure how inclined I'll be to even be getting out of bed.

Is there anything else that you're needing help with to complete? Do you still have projects pending that weren't completed that need to be carried into next year? Do you feel that you and your friend and his dad are about even with the work, or do they still owe you some?
Trying to figure out how far the (justifiable) annoyance goes, and how to mitigate it.
In any case, it sounds like you should take some satisfaction with the work completed so far. You've made a lot of progress, inside and out!

Well... My buddy at this point owes me so much work he's probably going to be paying it off for the rest of his life with how busy he is. It's so much at this point, that I'm reluctant to even give him any more since it's not very likely that it will ever be repaid. I don't like feeling that way, but it is what it is. His old man is into me for about 3 full days worth of work. Had he come early the other day we would have gotten so much done, but he says he'll be here at noon, doesn't show up until 3:30PM, and we're racing against the clock and the dark while getting poured on. There were 3 days prior that were 70 degrees that we could have done it and I would have had time left to do these other things, but we're doing everything last minute like we always do. It's annoying because whenever he needs my help I'm right there early in the morning and willing to work until late into the night.
I won't be able to have the outside wrapped up now this year because there are some things that need warmer conditions for proper drying. Namely wood putty and paint. It's too late. He will tell me that it's not, but he's wrong. There are directions on the products for a reason, and because I follow them, the stuff that I do lasts for decades and doesn't need to be redone every few years because corners were cut.
He's supposedly coming out this week to help with the siding on the back which is a lot more complex than the front. We also need to readjust one of the windows that was done last minute and isn't installed correctly because of it. That's a two man job.
But the thing is, I don't believe him. There will be excuses made and the work isn't going to get done. And that's REALLY going to annoy me then, because I will be wrapping everything up with plastic in even crappier weather conditions when he doesn't come through than I would have yesterday when he told me not to.
It's just... I'm so frustrated right now. I should be happy about the help that I've got, but I'm just annoyed with everything.

I'd be annoyed too. More than annoyed!
Would this work?
Next time they ask for help, tell them that you're too busy. But if they want to come over and free up some of your time, you'll have time to help.

That's actually usually how I get them to help me out.
Shouldn't be that way, but it is.

Nice little 3.5" rainstorm all day today through tomorrow morning, with another quarter inch or so tomorrow.
Shouldn't be anything to worry about. Hopefully. Not a huge chance for thunderstorms, and wind only around 13mph max.

The Vancouver Canucks last beat the Seattle Kraken (the latest NHL expansion team) in their first home game ever which was in Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle. Ha, ha. Score was Vancouver 4- Seattle 2.
Not sure what Gov. Inslee owns Premier Horgan but if Vancouver had lost BC's premier would have owed Gov. Inslee some good Pacific salmon. That was their bet.
