Up at 14:30 (12:00 (noon) + 2:30 (two and a half hours) = 14:30 (military/24-hour time). You are welcome, if you haven't figured it out yet. Anyway... it was so warm when I woke up. 84, upstairs. Slightly overcast/hazy out there. No matter, it is 97 outside. I guess I shouldn't complain too much. That is the coolest (barring using the ac) it has ever been up there in the summer otherwise. And, my tolerance is incredible. Compared to... since before I became ill. Maybe better now than even then? Possibly. Though I tolerated high heat and high humidity, so... maybe not. If, even then, my tolerance of cold was always better, and may be slipping.
Still, sleep was wonderful. There toward the end it was getting a bit rough though, I will admit. But wind from the east started blowing in. Hot wind. In two words, it sucked. And, it was a bit humid, as if the monsoon season will be starting early, or mother earth is... queefing. :p
Okay. No help on the dishwasher, but thankfully none needed. I got a call saying the other other guy I called couldn't help, until Monday at the earliest. All good, as I think it will turn out? So... right... All good.
Then I received a call, saying the window can be ordered, and with installation if I went that way, be just shy of $500. Bought and installed? Okay. Yes, I can... do that. Sure, I could save pennies. Maybe. But getting trim pieces (he probably gets them in bulk, so less... and might know the merchant, or even be kin)? And getting them installed correctly?
I worried about it being a mason/stone/cement home. But my friend took a picture(s), and sent. So he knows what he is dealing with, and has no difficulty with it. It's just a matter of getting the window delivered.
Now, to shingles. I think I can get enough for in the $200 to $300 range, with nails? And maybe return a placket of them even so. Extra nails, which he can keep. Or... could get a roofing hammer and a bucket of them? Pneumatic nailer would be much faster.
So... probably... the whole thing to around $800? Maybe.
Not sure if I will make it out today, to get the brackets. Or work on the plywood enclosure. It's way too hot. Humid too. Not today. Tomorrow, working on measuring and cutting the wood, two sides and a top. Then in to get brackets, perhaps putting that together even yet in the morning, or early afternoon?
Yes, and, then, up on the roof Monday morning, in the early cool. I think I can.
Hmm... a text, asking about color? I had thought that was up to me. But sounds like not? While at it, I reminded of nails. That way I would probably only have to get to the closer smaller town, for brackets, when I go in. I think I have plenty of plywood.
Hmm? If... I get these things done, and seem to do them well? I may work on another shed. I have roofing for it too, "tin", "steel", whatever. And underlayment, which is needed. I could get that up, later this summer, or early fall. Not sure I want to work that early, and it gets pretty hot pretty early. I don't like working loudly too early, for too long. So, if I find that I am, generally, up to some work. I'll hit it when it stays cooler longer into the mornings again. As is, I'll be pushing things, but not for too long. Just a few cuts with the cordless circular saw. The rest of the efforts will be silent.
So tired. Hoping to wake a bit better. Maybe have the rest of the steak from yesterday. Ugh. And another coffee. Cutting on cream, to just a half cup per. And with the half steak, seeing if I can make do with water otherwise. Night meds in. All good. Later.
