Good Morning!!!! 51F @ 7:00AM. Sun and clouds mixed. High 77F. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.
Thanks for the clarificaiton, Don. Judging from all the disclosure related verbage on the California contracts I've read, there are no such exemptions out here.
Glad to hear of your good outcome on the surgery, Scotty. A friend down here got their second eye done week before last, and they're a year younger than me. I've been diagnosed for cataracts in both eyes, but last year was told to wait as long as I can. I know several people that have had the surgeries, and all of them say they wish they hadn't waited so long. And now you're another one!
I also like it when the root ball comes out with the tree, Mike. I don't like having to move those big root balls, though.
Airhead friend of mine dropped by yesterday afternoon to give me a hand putting up another couple of the hanging shelves. Made the job a lot easier with the additional hands. We also took down a rather large cabinet that was mounted on one of the walls. Not sure where it'll end up, but I'll be putting a workbench where it was. Also moved a 6' rolling cabinet to the back porch, another "gift" from the POs of limited usefulness. Not sure if it's a keep or toss at this point. There are still eight of the hanging shelves available to install, but I'll need to weld up some diagonal brackets back at the old place before they can be used. So that's a story for another trip. Airhead friend says his bike needs the transmission splines lubed, a job he's never attempted. I invited him down to use my lift and tools once I'm established here; nice to be able to help him in kind.
Got after the 2'x4' patch of grout on the garage floor, another PO gift. I'd used a diamond blade on the vibrating tool a while back, which worked but was pretty slow, and also a chisel bit in a small demolition hammer, which was faster but pretty hard on my hands. This time around I tried a 5" diameter wheel in an angle grinder. Worked pretty fast, but oh what a mess of dust it put up! Whew, couldn't see across the garage after a few minutes. So I went back to the demo hammer to get the bulk of the grout broken off, then finished up with the angle grinder. I still came out looking like the Pillsbury Dough Boy, so I've got some clean up to do in the garage today.
Not sure what the rest of the day will bring, but it'll likely involve some form of unpacking.
