Tedious day today. We put in a 3 section folding ladder to garage attic...where previously there was a work bench with a vertical ladder on top of the bench. Kinda tough to climb up on bench, watch your head and climb up vertically. Nicer now. The hole looked good, but wasn't square so we did a lot of shimming...will cover with trim tomorrow. You have to flex the assembly a 1/2" to clear ceiling heater and a 1/2" the other way to clear electric box...and can't fold out 3rd section until it clears gas line. Takes 10 seconds to unfold...I never claimed to plan perfectly. It works though...and not a high traffic area...

my whole life is just a series of shimming things until they are square.

Took a break from the truck today and got the garden ready for transplants. Tilled it a couple more times, made rows, and put up the fence to keep the animals out. On the back side of the garden near the animal pasture we added a small perennial area for strawberries, rhubarb and asparagus. We put in lawn edging to keep them separated.

Today is officially the start of hell week. Week before Memorial Day is the busiest time in the pool season. Openings, cleanings, repairs. All in 7 short days. On top of that two of my sidejobs kept postponing their openings until this week. I accomplished opening 1 after work today. $200 for 2.5 hours of work. Hard to say no. Actually sitting at a KFC eating dinner and typing this cuz by the time I make it home I will surely shower then pass out.

Caught up on chores since I was gone all weekend. Gave the chickens a swing to help with boredom.

Ain't lived till you've owned Geese and/or swans. Swans are the gigantic assholes of the avian empire. Ok maybe bald eagles. I'm not sure, but I am sure most birds can be assholes

We almost finished garage, ran out of paint...have to go get another gallon to finish and to touch up where electrician (who showed up a day early to finish wiring) scratched a few spots that weren't dry yet. Got some nice new outlets though, and he left boxes for electric door openers and 3 flouro shop lights for after ceiling is paneled next week. This is going to be one bad ass garage...

Started my next project, another kitchen plus some other stuff in the house.

Glad that I do not have to run any crews this year, I am only 42 but still getting tired. It's not about money, it's about mastering what you've been asked to do. That takes a serious amount of time. I'd prefer to be working for people who understand that and allow me to be free. It works out best for all involved. Narrow the focus and stress less *cough*.

Finished a design project for a nfp that I do "free" work for when I got home. (quotations used because it is an international organization, and exposure is money, imo.) I would do the work for them anyway...

Pretty high and a little beered up now, I'll admit that I wanted it this way.

I posted on RIU way more than anyone really wanted to read AND I mixed a reservoir and nailed the pH at 5.5!! I made Shrimp and Scallops in Nam Prik Paow and drank 3 beers! I did NOT exercise............. tomorrow cometh.

PS I ate 1/2 stick of butter too but that should be in the confessions thread I guess
