Plans and all that
Sep. 7th, 2019 10:17 amIt’s always interesting when you make plans for a day, and then other people make plans for you that they expect you to drop everything for.
Today’s plans involve going down to the valley to pick up more materials for the work in the library (puzzle mats for flooring in one section), plus do some needed grocery shopping.
Added into the mix is putting out hay for a customer who called last night (while I was doing some soldering work on an electrical item, so Heather took that call) who always seems to call only when she is out, not before, so there is usually no leeway on when the hay needs to be put out. Going to the family farm is a side trip; it’s not really on the way to the valley.
There was also the matter of pulling out the sections of cut beech out of the van so that there will be space for the construction materials. The beech was left on our property by the tree crew that has been cutting back brush and trees to allow more clearance for the road equipment that will be used to repave our road. That wood has been added to the pile of butternut wood that was left by the same crew but right next to the driveway. Unloading the wood was anticipated, though.
When we get home, there will, of course, be unloading of the van again, plus unloading the bag of Sackrete from the trunk of the car for smoothing and leveling a section of concrete floor that the puzzle mats will be going over.
In the end, this all will probably take the entire day for me, or close to it.
By the time all is said and done, there may not be time for me to accomplish any yard work today. Probably just as well, as the heavy rain last night left everything soaked.
