Just long day.  It's hard to get anything done attempting to work on a huge sleep deficit.  I got the drainage pipe assembly all but done. I just need one more piece of pipe to run up to the roof.  That and waiting on the dumpster and a tenant paid up for another month.  I then started looking at the water line and how I wanted to route that.  More like, where am I going to run the electrical wiring?

I started looking at different routes but my head was fried.  Just hard to think like that when you're that tired.  I ended up leaving.  It was mid-afternoon and I was ready to go home, lay down on the bed and take a nap if I could get one.  

As has been the last several nights, I am hardly coughing - but - bedtime is soon and it's around this time of night the coughing has starting and won't let up until sometime in the morning, 4-5 am.  I am dearly hoping tonight will be different.  I am going to try another type of cough suppressant tonight to see if that works.  The prescription grade stuff I tried last night did nothing for that cough.  Like I hadn't taken anything at all.  

The dumpster did arrive, btw, after I called the company and asked how they can be sending me text messages saying the trash pickup is complete?  Oh, well he is 2 stops away from you.  Okay? What does that mean? There isn't even a dumpster here.  The lady clarified that the new dumpster is 2 stops away from being delivered.  They sent me the next size up from what I ordered because they were out of the smallest size.  There is an old mattress that someone threw in the woods before I got the property that I am going to throw into that thing before they come and take it away with the smaller size. 

There isn't much else - not for today anyway.  I'm going to make myself sleep watching  a rerun of something and then hopefully go to sleep for more than 2 or 3 hours.  

 Considering lack of sleep yesterday, I got quite a lot done.  Found the Fernco's at Lowe's took them back, installed them and then started putting in the pipe from the T to the shed for the drain.  My trenching was off...so I had to go get some 22 degree bends to make up for that, but eventually, I got all of that done, drilled a hole in the side of the shed and routed the pipe inside.  

While waiting for freshly-glued fittings to dry on the drain line, I would move over to the water inlet side and work on that.  AS of now, both the water and the drain lines are inside the shed, which was my goal yesterday and took me - as usual for pretty much everything out there - much longer than expected.  

Today? I feel absolutely miserable.  I spent another night coughing and getting very little sleep and now I am basically dysfunctional.  I took prescription grade cough medicine last night which did nothing to alleviate it.  In act, it got so back, I got up and got out of bed. I don't know what it is, but apparently laying down has the effect of causing the coughing to start.  I'm up all day long on my feet or sitting? Not too much coughing,. I don't get that, but I'm not a doctor.

I am forcing myself to go back out there today regardless of how I feel, there just isn't time to be fooling around, sitting at home feeling sh****.  I want to try to get the laundry box and the P trap in at the very least.  That means - yes - another trip to Lowe's I had to use an extra 90 yesterday, won't be able to advance without getting another one. But, it's just a 90, in and out of Lowe's instead of hours standing there wondering what I'm doing.

I fully intended on hitting up that prayer meeting this morning as of last night. No.  Just no.  I was finally getting some sleep around 5-6 am and yes, it's late morning now.  My head is woozy, just hoping I'll start feeling better once I start moving around a little.  There is some motivation to getting out to the property today: a tenant wants to pay up his rent at noon, says he's leaving town for a week and wants it paid before he leaves. Yes, indeed, sir, I will be there.  My business checking account is going to increase quite a lot in the next couple of weeks, even with expenditures.  After I get all my payments, I'm going to sit down, figure out what I can pay myself and bam, transfer the money from the business checking to the personal checking.  

There are still plenty of construction expenditures coming, no doubt, but I must pay myself or go broke.  Which really means, I need to get into see that tax accountant and figure this all out. Which means finishing up the books so they can take a look.  They can have access to my quickbooks which I am going to double down on here sometime this week and get it finished or at least very close to caught up.  

Regardless, the reason I am pushing myself even feeling like hell is to try and get all of this shed stuff done, over with, in the books, on the websites and see what, if anything, is going to happen. Cause' honey, right now? April is slim pickens' for overnighters.  I've only got 4 bookings for April so far, tho admittedly it's still early March.  I need another 30-40 bookings/days worth of reservations to get me to where I want to be with those 3 spaces. Otherwise? I'll be calling that lady back: Yup, lot 11 is available.  $475 per month, come get it!  I'll take less money over none.  But we'll see, I've just got to get this project completed and it's at least weeks - at the rate I'm going.  I just haven't done this stuff before, it's basically like building a new house, except the framework is already in, I'm just trying to get the utilities through it and to it.  It sounds so simple to do in theory....

Pros would have had that thing finished by now. Of course, the price tag would be 15-20 grand which I simply don't have and with the feds pushing up interest rates, loans are becoming a nothing burger.  There is a reason I'm doing this project by myself and it isn't only because contractors won't come out - they are far too busy, it's also the price tag that inherently comes with professional work.  

 Whatever.  I'm trying to get my @$$ moving and get out of here and finding it very difficult.  It's already 10:30 am.  Oh well, guess I best get going. VEhicle out of gas, a check to deposit and a trip to Lowe's before I even get to the property...

G'day
