Lenny, hope you do better than I did. Contractor subbed the job to Mexican framing crew who had no idea how to do remodeling work, only new work.
All 32 windows had to be taken out when we realized they had put a lateral 2x4 across the drain holes, and the windows were filling up with water.
That crew was fired and a trained crew brought in to fix, which of course meant a lot of the custom siding surrounds had to be redone. Windows work fine,
thankfully.
Headed downtown this morning, have to pick up a prescription and will get a sling for my arm. I need to put it out of commission and it will heal itself.
I can move it around, so I figure nothing too bad, but it won't support any weight at all. As I believe a few of you have reminded me, time to chill.
Discouraging that so many parts can not work right at one time...said the TinMan looking for his oiler.
Am going to stop at a welding place and see if I can buy some of their sheet steel in sizes bigger than what TSC sells.
And I'll get them to put it in the truck. I can drive the truck right to the barn and slide it off on to a roller cart.
This train ride shall proceed at reduced speed...
I've been thinking about the hard freeze Sunday night. I think I will have the orchard sprayer filled with water, kept inside the barn of course, and go out at 3am and spray the orchard with a fog of water. Have to be very gentle with flowers and buds. My new high power lights on the Kubota will come in handy, just park that at the end of the orchard and it should light the whole thing up adequately. Not like I don't know my way around those rows inside the fence. A cold wet operation, but guess I don't have a choice if I want any fruit.
It would be cool if there was a setting on the orchard sprayer to make snow... the local kids would love to see that. Looks like they'll finally get to see it, and for sure, no school on Monday.
