31F and cloudy @ 19:00, which should be the low overnight. The day's high was 37.9F.
Was hungry yesterday after I got up, so asked for some pancakes. Woman fixed 6 + bacon. Very tasty ... but big mistake ... I went comatose and went back to bed for 5 - 6 hours ...
It was around 19:00 or so when I got up so ended up pulling all all-nighter out in the garage.
Got 10' length of black pipe taken to the basement and 10' conduit brought up, also pvc cleaner and cement.
Also brought up (most of ?) the planting pots that were sitting outside the back door and got those dried out, dirt knocked out of them, and finally finished up stowing them away yesterday.
Cleared off what was left on 3' section of metal shelving in the basement corner where the gas line and electric feed to the garage will pass through the wall so I can work on it.
Got garage heater taken out of its box, set up on table top, and mounting brackets installed last night.
Also removed the flue exhaust transition adapter from the heat exchanger and marked where the appliance ---> flue adapter needed to be drilled so that it could be drilled. Used an automatic center punch to mark the 3 locations and got those drilled. Holes came out dead on nuts so got those 2 pieces screwed together and it's waiting to be reattached to the heat exchanger.
Removed the big stuff off the floor of the chemical cabinet and got that moved away from the back wall.
Ceiling joists located and marked in garage.
Wound up a 100' extension cord that I had used to charge the battery in the van and got it off the floor.
That will give some room to work on the Stihl FS 66 and get the cultivator head swapped out for the string trimmer head. Plan to use it on Friday when it warms up (sunny and 55F) to cut down weeds on west side so that we can get 6 milkweed plants that are still in pots out back planted in the ground.
Was going to start gluing up conduit this morning but discovered 4 of the 5 cans of pvc cleaner/cement were bad so I waited until the corner opened up and ran down there and grabbed a small can of cement.
Hit MickeyD's for a sausage McMuffin and hash browns while I was at it.
Was pretty tired when I got back so ended up hitting the rack around noon and slept for 6 hours.
Woman ran out to El Jalapeños around 17:00 to grab dinner which I think is what woke me up.
Plans for this evening's "night shift":
Finalize location of heater on ceiling and mark out spots on ceiling and get the pilot holes drilled to put up the uni-strut to hang the heater off of.
Mount the uni-strut onto the ceiling.
Maybe get some more work done on gas piping on ceiling.
Get pvc conduit glued up for electrical panel hole drilled to feed the wires through.
Plus whatever else comes up.
Hope everyone is having a decent Wednesday ...
