Up, and at it.

Pretty rough looking, but...

When I woke, I texted.  He had been by and hour ago.  I asked if he would visit again.  And he did.  He just didn't let me know.  Which... is fine.  I don't need to know what I will shortly find out.  Though, that is why I left the front door unlocked.

A bit of a discussion, or what I want, and plan on, doing.  Of course, there is always way more to do than even a decent coin will stretch.  A modern safe electrical panel, with a possible upgrade to the delivery.  I'd like 440, and have the panel cut it down, so I can have a couple of 220/240/260's in the garage.  Whichever are used for bigger equipment, such as welders and even my air compressor which can be wired for 240, I think.  Anyway.

so, electrical first.  Perhaps set up a bigger subpanel in the garage, but we could wire that... just have it inspected.  Then central air and a new furnace.  Redoing the en suite bathroom, if mostly all I need is flooring, possibly a water heater, and fabricating floating shelves strong enough to hold at least one sink, maybe two.  The floor in the kitchen and hallways.  A sprinkler system for the lawn.  And, finally, a dishwasher, installed.  That last, alone, will solve half my problems.  Dishes bottleneck me every few days or weeks.

I would also like to install an inside water shutoff valve.  Two, actually.  And a water silt filtration system, with several levels of fineness.  If possible, then, have gas run to the kitchen, maybe the back bathroom... front bathroom... depending on how you look at it.  Maybe.  Depends on if gas water heaters are better, might be able to be fit somewhere more out of the way (under the floor, in the attic).  Ugh.

As mentioned, more jobs than money.  But, the trick is to keep a savings, keep adding to it, taking out for yearly maintenance and upgrades.  If the house ends up nice enough, I may not want to leave.  Well, and there are little things that can come out of monthly pocket money, like door seals, window sealing, even a new door over a couple of months.  Bit and part and pieces at a time, but that would be over time.  A house can eat you alive though.

Still, the gent I asked to work?  Has a boss who put his house up for sale recently.  It was worth $350k, but got valued at $500k.  Then... sold for $900k plus.  So... it's... a crazy world out there.  Almost terrifying.  Then again, nothing is certain yet.  I'm not counting the chickens yet.  Even should they hatch well, they still have to make it to butchering time, or laying size... then produce.  Lots of opportunities for the wrong things to happen.  Still... if I see an opportunity for the good, I will take it.

Waterers are redone.  I'll get them out shortly.  The girls were fed, not sure if I did litter, but I think so.  Oh, and while he was here, I had him help me wash Sam.  She... poor thing... tried to fight.  Not much fight in her.  But, clean.  She is clean.  I feel so much better, and she smells so much better.  I hope it doesn't kill her.  I think she tried not to fight, because she knew she needed cleaned.  Part of it was having so little strength.  Ugh, I feel so bad for her.  But clean, at least she is clean.

Pork chops for dinner?  Chia first, shortly.  Something.  And, on the good side?  I hadn't missed medicine.  I... when splitting days, just get confused.  When I wake up Sunday, but it's Monday later on, I thought I missed, so rushed into Monday.  I finished Monday medicine, but... it's... still Monday!  The one dose I missed was Sunday night, but I already took Monday night, sort of on Sunday night, so I'll just take Sunday on Monday night and... it's all good.  *sigh*  So confused...  Later.
