Today I set off the fire alarm in the entire ancient 1890 complex by cooking ribeye for philly cheesesteak sandwiches for my team at the jewelry store. I did not photograph the 8 firemen struggling to determine where the detector even was (buried in the walls??), who were unable to disarm it and only able to open a single window to assist. Guess I'm never doing that again. The 4 guys who got a cheese steak said it was totally worth the fiasco. I want to quit and change careers.20240201_131751.jpg

I had a busy f’ing week, on Tuesday I went to change a shower valve on a side job and found a pipe leaking in the wall so that turned into a emergency ( I may or may not have broken the pipe ) 4 hours later I had the whole thing replaced and was ready for supper and bed. Yesterday I started a big side job enclosing a carport . I demoed and framed for 8 hours , holly shit I’m too old to do this everyday anymore. But I got bills to pay ( house and car insurance went way way up ) so I’m blessed to have the extra work.

It’s been a busy week : Replaced the final rotten raised bed (4’x10’x20” deep). Pulled up all the damaged chicken wire and ”yard staples” holding it down. Dug out all the sod around the ”fenceline” and getting ready to put new chicken wire down and then fill in the area with woodchips. Weed-whacking around it is a constant pain in my ass, it tears up the wire and let’s critters in, and grass grows through the mesh making it all look like shit after a few months. This is more work now, for less work later. Also topped all the beds with a mix of compost and native soil, mixed in some more peat/verm/perlite, added some builders sand, greensand, about 30 pounds of rock dust, and 25 pounds of dry amendments. Hobby? Problem? Obsession? What’s the difference?
