Phew – yesterday was a big day. We (Kevin and I) strapped the water heater, painted a tiny spot outside the house, cleaned up a million palms trees and weeded/mulched some stuff (Tami and Mariel handled all that). Ooh, and fixed some irrigation and emptied more boxes.

Found a spider that cast a big shadow. Used a wide variety of tools which confirmed by bias for collecting them.

And then had a semi furnished little dinner party after that.

Lots of homemade.

Multi-disciplinary tool use day. Used circular saw for the 2×4″ standoff behind the tank. Rotary tool to adjust the size of the water heater strap. Tapped and drilled a new hole through the steel, filed off the ends to reduce bleeding, ratchet for driving the lag bolts into the studs and clamps galore.

And I was able to lend out tarps to a neighbor, use my pull saw to cut some palm bark, and the ladder to get the joist painted (where it was cut for dry rot before tenting). Usually I feel lots of guilt for hoarding so many tools – but today kind of made up for a huge chunk of that because I had /almost/ everything we needed to complete lots of muffins .

Buying a home is a like a new hobby in that there is no limit to the amount of time, worry, and money you can pour into it.

I wanted to post all sorts of home stuff but watned to redesign the site a bit first, or maybe make an offshoot for storing just home related stuff.

But now I’m thinking “MOAR CONTENT BETTER” and I’ll throw more stuff at the wall and do a post process sort.

First thing is to make a place to put the list of things to put the list of things on in order to put the list of things somewhere.
