Peter the electrician was here to disconnect a bad outlet at the bottom of the deck stairs and rewire a good one on the deck itself. A third outdoor outlet, at the flagpole, has power but is wired wrong.
He also installed a GFI outlet in the downstairs bathroom and a new backdoor light. The front light is installed but he’ll need access to the attic to get power to it, and right now the attic is sealed off pending mold removal.
Yesterday we got a spring season’s worth of yard work done by Kelley Brothers Tree Service. In the back yard, they cut up and removed a huge blow-down and chipped a couple of big piles of wood left from the last owner as well as the three half-dead bushes we’d dug up.
They also removed four sorry-looking bushes in front and by the driveway: what a difference!
Ron and I raked and bagged leaves in the top left corner of the yard. Found a small pile of junk. Speaking of which, we have invasive weeds growing everywhere. Might be garlic mustard. Daffodils are taking their time.
I cooked on the Weber for the first time this year and on this spot, last night and today for lunch. A treat to be sure.
This morning Ron and I attended a town meeting-style session with our state legislators. We both liked them very much.
Check arrived for the vermiculite removal company!
Ron did a serious transfer station run today.
Heard from Morabito yesterday, they squared away my account. Mailed them a check. Cost of a new oil tank is outrageous. Might be worth reconsidering.
My legs have been bothering me today, so didn’t do yardwork. Hope to finish raking tomorrow.
