65°F and no rain
Back out in caretaker unit. Time to get bathroom vanity in place.
Grass is growing but gonna give it a few more days before next round of mowing. One of the benefits of grass vs snow. More flexibility as to when grass must be dealt with.
Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

I wish I hadn’t pushed my snow, did more damage than good. Now I got a pile of dirt and gravel to clean out of my yard. Probably should try to back drag it now while ground is frozen.
Our old cat is sick. Started throwing up a bunch, other end leaking also. Wife just took it to vet.
Been taking very boring training courses. These are real eye pokers. I pity the person who has to create this stuff.
24° and sunny.

Too too cold, Roy

None at all when tested. Two days later has a few aches, but nothing worse than what you get with a cold. Rest of family test results are all negative so far.
A year ago a failed test could well be the start of a serious issue, now for most of us who have been vaccinated it is thankfully only a minor inconvenience.

Good afternoon all.
Is anyone else curious about how dry their firewood is ? In the past I have weighed, dried in the oven, then weighed again slices out of a log to see how much water it had inside.
Recently I got a Bosch moisture meter, which is a lot more convenient to use. The wood coming out of the store has been drying under cover for a couple of years or more and tests out at just under 20% water, which is what I expected and about as good as it gets in our climate. Hazel that I cut last winter and was late to bring under cover is still almost 30%. Without the meter I could have been putting that on the fire tonight then watching the water bubble out of the end.

Eric, I too have a moisture meter and I have found that IF the meter registers anything below 20% the wood is good to burn. Checking on the cut ends and the bark falling off is also a good indicator. Right now all my wood registers at less than 5% moisture. My indoor woodpile is about 20' from one of the vents on the wood furnace. You might say the wood is kiln dried.
I just watched an interesting hypothesis regarding Titanic and her sister ship Britannic.

I suspect the list of 95 shortcomings is rather detailed and individual instances, like the 6 missing screens likely listed as each window.
My guess would be contractor didn’t do own walk thru, just relied on the help, ie the already over worked lead carpenter.
The owners are less than happy campers as the house was to be done last July, then after a sitdown Nov 15 was the finish date, then Dec 15, then New Years, then this Monday.
I think Diane pretty much summed up saying, “we are paying big money for this house, I don’t expect to have to fix things after we move in”
