Ok, a few pics from yesterday. I must have been counting the height of debris in trailer to the ground...closer to 4’, but packed in.
The tree circled in red is a big oak that came down in a storm a few weeks ago. Had a hollowed area that just didn’t have a chance. Will be a day long process, over 14” diam or so but I don’t have a lot of wiggle room on a 12’ wide drive to pull out sections.

Took advantage of cooler weather last couple days and got that oak that was partially sticking into the drive. Lots of cutting manageable pieces, 12' or so, dragging them out, keep them from rolling while lifting/pulling with tractor...but all went well. Just getting started on cleaning up raw log pile and convert to cut pieces to dry till fall and then split for next year or so.
 
Demo done except pan removal. I want the company i think we are going to use to see it and make sure dimensions are correct. First time ever tackling a job like this. Exci but have to admit, a little nervous but no turning back now!

Happy Father’s Day guys. Hope it has been great for you!! Me, I’m not, but even doing the shower demolition, I thought a lot of dad, how he taught me to pull a nail, use a nail bar, etc. In that respect, it was a good day.

I do pray all of you are safe and well.

We’ve been talking about this project for over a year and finally got started this past week. All we want to do is update the shower, nothing else (at the moment). The estimates have been stupid. I know we are in the craziest building boom but $10,000 +???? No way. So, we found a highly recommended place for doing a pan and we will do this ourselves. We may well spend that much, but that is okay. I will have satisfaction.

Look into Schluter systems. Very easy to install and very diy friendly. Reach out if you have any questions, I’ve been in the kitchen and bath remodeling business for the last 12 years.
 
Since the state relaxed the rules, I was able to get my first haircut in 6 months today.
They went up on the price because they were closed for over 3 months.
It cost me $30 with the tip. :ponder:

Not horrible, considering how much cooler my head is now.

Fortunately, I had my hair cut just before the shutdown in March so it was only 3 months for me. Went to my wife's hairdresser since my normal shop is not yet open. It was too expensive so hopefully my old shop will open soon. These employees of normal chain shops are making more on unemployment than they would cutting hair. Reckon we'll see them in August when the extra $600 per week runs out.

I went to get mine cut the other wknd,4 hr wait. Said forget that and did it myself. No more bi annual haircuts for this guy!!
 
Is this the first time we are NOT asking for pictures???????? Yep, mine was pretty scraggly. Sis got a good laugh out of it, first time she has seen my curls in almost 40 years. I was in the 3 month category...….well, closer to 4. Just happy I still have it!! Well, most of it.
 
Great day working on new property! Sheds are a mess, need larger generator to run the water well and stumbled onto one for roughly $150 lower than I had seen anywhere including big box stores and amazon. So, home this evening and did that some assembly required thing. Sure appreciate my honey.....

One step closer to listi the other property, getting rid of the last two piles of tree trimmings. Hot day though; my wonderful wife came out and said stop and wait until the evening. Won’t tell her she was right, but she was. She came back out and we almost got it done. Will knock it out while it is cool in the morning. I get to start celebrating the 4th tomorrow.

Well, how about this. They found the steering wheel. Post holes (once I borrow my buddy’s auger tomorrow) here I come.

As many of us have said before, cancer sucks!!!!!!!!!!!

Went and saw a guy, a friend, that works for me this afternoon and it was horrible. He stopped by the office just 10 days ago to talk. He had been given about 30 days as the chemo pills were not working. He was diagnosed last Sept; total shock. He had been sick for a few weeks back then, went in, and came out with the news. Tried several things and although there was some short term hope nothing really worked.

Was told when I got to his house that the hospice nurse thinks his spleen burst. This would be consistent with what the cancer has done to his spleen; the doctors talked about taking it out umpteen times but hadn't. With that, the 30 (now 20) days went to hours if she was right. Frankly, looking at him, I pray she is right. But, thankful for Hospice. I have had very little association with them, but the little I have had they are angels on earth!!!!!

Appreciate all of you!! if inclined, say a prayer for Ed and family; i would appreciate that.
