Good morning! 72˚F heading to 94˚. I think the shorter days are finally starting to affect daytime temps, it has been a while since the low 70s in the morning and looks like relief from the hundreds finally.

Some of the blue paint is showing through the alabaster and another coat will have to be applied, but wait we decided that the alabaster color was too light so now it will be painted linen ( a shade darker). it is getting close to cut-off time on all projects so we will have to finish it on Monday.

David looks like a second hurricane is coming also.

Had snack went to overnight room showed lunch and came home, no nap.

Good Morning
60° with a high of 85 for today, another sunny day with no rain.
Drywall finishers finished up yesterday, I scraped the floor and vacuumed up the dust. Had to clean the filter in my shop vac multiple times, drywall dust is pretty fine.
Put the box scraper on the tractor and smoothed out the areas that I had dug up for the utility trenches. I can’t backfill and final grade until the stone facing is complete, but this makes it a lot more navigable.

I think that today I actually will get to the little plane and make some progress, but you never know for sure what each day will bring.

If you set the HVAC at 70° that should keep the house from freezing, but will the system automatically switch from cool to heat?

thanks but no, does not have auto setting

easiest thing is to have my brother come over beginning of october, check on house and change the thermostat.

have never been away from home so long, so this time turning off water heater, turning off water into house but not the exterior
water. Dehumidifier continues to run in basement, keeps it at 50%
will put bleach in toilet and sink traps before I leave.

sorry birdies, you aren't going to like this, no autofeeders that will last that long

I took most of my hanging feeders down, the squirrels were knocking them off, huge waste of seed.
I left the one large hanging feeder with a highly effective drop down gate arrangement and the larger blue jays
will have to go elsewhere. I'm happy to just feed the smaller birds for awhile.

your new home looks very cool Popgadget.
it looks very energy efficient.
by retaining your shop, you only need living area here, not tons of storage, but you have upstairs anyway.
so you don't have to move too much of your "stuff".

and you'll be in by winter.
since you built your current house, nice to apply what you learned then, and since, to new home.

lot of dead grass in back lawn all of a sudden.
wonder if it could be army worms

had major problems with too many grubs before, critters were digging up back lawn.
back lawn needs a good application of grub killer again, should helpfully get rid of these.

66 outside this AM, lower 80's.

Wife came home late last night, we are packing up truck again for another trip to middle daughters. Gotta love the road trips. At least this one is pleasant. Unfortunate, my to-do list is not getting attention.

Starting Monday, tomorrow, things look to get even more interesting. Will sit back and take it one hour at a time.

The song "under pressure" seems to be stuck in my head. LOL.

Hope all have a great day.
