Well, yesterday was certainly a productive day. James worked on the bathroom walls all day long, I worked on insulation. It's going to be good to get that drywall up and get the place sealed a little better. Besides just getting the project done and getting the place looking a bit better, it's also going to help with the cooling. First line of defense is the insulation, second is the drywall.
Anyway, his adventures in the bathroom kept him busy into the night. I was there 8 hours, we all went home, had dinner and he went back over. I couldn't do it. I didn't sleep the night before, I was up at 2 am and couldn't get back to sleep. I got eaten up by ticks 2 days ago, not sure what I was doing to get those things all over me. I didn't realize it until the middle of the night. They got me good. My legs are itching all over from ankles to upper thigh and ...other areas....
Must have been walking in the growing vegetation out front. That's another issue that I just don't have an answer for right now. Let the trees grow back and hide the vegetation, I don't have tens of thousands of dollars for a tractor and attachments right now.
Anyway, I got all the insulation installed. There was more than I initially imagined so it pretty much took the whole day. Once I got that done I spray-insulated the cracks. I have about a bottle's worth left to spray but I'm not doing it until the drywall is moved from the wall where I can't get at the cracks. You open a bottle of that insulation, you best be prepared to use the whole bottle right then and there, because after it sits? You aren't getting anything out of it. So, it doesn't make since to fill the remaining cracks I can get at and not do the cracks I can't. Give me 15 minutes and it's all done.
Having time on my hands - I just don't do drywall - I then wired and installed the outdoor light. I have other things I need to do as well that I think I want installed before the drywall goes up. I want that oven outlet installed. I bought the thing, I have the wire I might as well put it in. If it never gets used, it never gets used, I haven't made up my mind about it. Waiting until after the drywall is installed would be a mistake. Then it's much harder to install, fishing line through the walls and putting it through...non-existent holes? It's the only outlet I really have left that I need to put in. I was going to install another outlet for another dryer, but that's not necessary. I don't need a second washer/dryer set, the set I have now isn't even paying for itself.
Well, it is getting used a lot more, haven't checked the coin basket lately. I have no plans in adding another set any time soon, if ever. Not at 14 spots. If that time ever comes, I will just have to figure it out. As it stands, I'm looking forward to ridding myself of those payments. Shed payments as well.
So what today? I assume James is going back over to work on it some more, haven't discussed it yet, we're all just getting out of bed. I have the person selling the 5th wheel saying now that they can't haul it, can you? Yes. So I just contacted the hauler who has already replied. This 5th wheel is 113 miles away. It's older but it's been under a cover and is in excellent condition. I'm trying to get that thing,it's about as good as it gets in the price range I'm looking at. No slide outs, oh well. If I get it, I'm going to try to get $650 per month out of it plus a refundable deposit. Somewhere in the $500 range.
I don't really know what today holds yet. That thing is up in the air but it's marked as sold on the Marketplace and yes it's sold to me, I just haven't paid for it yet. It may very well fall through the cracks if I can't coordinate this together, but I'm trying my best.
The hauler wants to know if the tires and jacks are good. Asked the seller, they haven't replied yet. This is likely the way this is going to go.
