First hard freeze coming tonight. Lows in mid-20s.
My “project” deficiency is more than made up for by my skill in the kitchen. So, there’s that. I guess we’ve only been home owners for a few years now so we’re taking the standard crash course in all that’s required. Before we were big city renters and a little nomadic. Not sure I would have settled if I knew how much time in Lowe’s it required! Aisles and bays, man, aisles and bays for days.
I love tools. Bought 20v battery powered Dewalt power tool set last year for the mission trip. Since I wasn't sure what we would be doing and wanted to be sure we had the proper tools, it was my excuse - circular saw, reciprocating saw, drill/driver, and impact driver. I really need to find a home improvement class so I can learn to do things with them.
I grew up with two older brothers and a do-it-yourself if at all possible dad. In my first house, I soon had a dripping bathtub faucet. I hired a plumber, watched him fix it, asked him questions. No, it did not drive him crazy, I think he actually liked the idea that I wanted to do it myself. I later taught my older brother how to fix a dripping faucet. Through YouTube, I can change my own air filter, both engine and cabin, and I can change out a headlight bulb. There are a few more things I would like to learn to do myself. Thinking about asking my neighbor to teach me how to weld. Yard Art!!!
Oh, in my twenties, I asked for a Dremel for Christmas. Both my brothers were jealous.
A late afternoon pick me up:
Cold day. Coldest of the year so far. First ground frost.
It’s days like today that I look over my property at my Amish neighbor and hope they’ve got all their wood for the winter. Otherwise, going to be some cold starts. I don’t know what the plumbing situation is but doing your business in an outhouse on a cold day all the time isn’t worth all the shoofly pie in the world.
