The carpenters started the layout of LVLs and cut a temporary accessway in the ceiling for the electrician.
I insisted that they set up the air conditioner in their work area. Our big a/c is due to arrive two days early: it’s out for delivery by UPS.
The electrician is scratching his head over a couple of faults. He tried to install a new rocker switch in the kitchen – the old one failed yesterday and kept the lights on – but it didn’t work so I asked for a conventional switch instead. At least we can turn the lights off now.
I picked up pastry from a popup in North Adams and transfer station trash bag stickers at Aubuchon.
Found Ron’s keys in the Corolla.
I watered and half-heartedly started getting tree junk off the deck. Trimmed the front bushes and cleaned the front hall, with a towel and water only, didn’t want to have to rinse everything.
Ron emptied the portable dehumidifier and cleaned the filter. He mowed the lawn, too. I picked up our week’s CSA and brought compostables to the collection bin. Steamed beets for salad tomorrow. Ron ate two ears of corn that had been sitting in water for days.
The new air conditioner arrived and we, mostly Ron, fit it into the living room window “good enough” for now. It made for a very comfortable evening.
Fierce weather tonight.
