Well not much going on here.
have a good evening all
Renovations would happen quicker except for Disney holidays
Hi all. It's Friday morning (7.30am) and I've got my first day or work this week. Well, I could have worked earlier this week but my daughter had an orientation day for her new school for next year. She will start high school (she'll be 13 next year) and I'm not sure what that equates to for your system.
Not much going on here. DH made repairs to yet another underground water pipe connector (they must have come from a faulty batch as that's about 4 we've had to replace). Then he was pulling up old concrete from around the house and broke into the grey water pipe and when he got the new pipe to join the broken bits found that the old pipe is slightly bigger than the new one! So he fixed that temporarily with some wide tape and continued pulling up the concrete slabs, to find underneath a slab was the old grease trap - the metal bits underground was all rusty and the water disgusting and it was full of cockroaches
Now that explains why I always had cockroaches under the kitchen sink! The grease trap is outside the kitchen where the sink is. Ah, the joys of an old house. We've got bit of a porch type thing off the laundry that we're going to close in and turn into the new laundry and the existing laundry will be a storage room full of sliding cupboard doors, like a big wardrobe. It's a small, narrow laundry and drives me crazy as there's no real room to move or store things. So, we've got to dig up the concrete slabs, check out what is there for the plumber to do, move all existing pipes to further out and connect them up to the new line for the grey water. Then we'll have to build the external wall and do all the other stuff that needs doing. It means I get to choose a new laundry tub and taps
Well I hope everyone enjoys their day. I'll have a class full of kids today so I'm hoping all goes well for me
I think it's because you have to do someone else's work instead of your own! Just wait until you retire--then ALL the days fly by! I'm not sure how I used to fit work in my scheduleAfternoon all:
Been busy getting the house ready for Thanksgiving. Finishing up laundry and just put dinner in the oven.....
Going to chill for a few minutes
Why do weekends go soooo fast and the week days at work drag??
Oh well
later

. I'd hate to see how ours would fare and it's from the early-mid 80s!

traffic was light this morning, so hopefully everyone is leaving town for Thanksgiving and wont bother us today

but you got it in bucketloads!
That's not good
Got a stuffy nose, foggy head and sore throat. I hope it's just sinus...
Dreadfully hot here coming into the storm season, it's about 35C and energy sapping humidity. Can't wait for the storms to come to give us some relief.
In the middle of cooking a quiche for dinner, so it'll be quiche and salad tonight and an early night for me.
Have a great night
