Gary’s post: Crazy wind last night. 25+ mph winds across the property. Hard to sleep and blew stuff all over the place. Winds are supposed to drop around noon today. Made sleeping a challenge.
Today will be more gravel, 7 tons, to spread. I’m going to try and get some of the loose dirt covered so there isn’t as much dust blowing around and gives us a bit more parking space for the cars. I’ll expand the car wash area a bit more too. That way when we wash the cars, it’s not a mud bath when you’re done. We’ll use the tractor to get things spread. I need to take the tractor in for a hydraulic rebuild or service. The bucket and backhoe aren’t working smoothly, and the hydraulics seem to be a bit weak. I’ll check it out over the next week.
More work today that I need to get done. I managed to book travel to Orlando for the 2nd week of March. Hard to get work done though with our youngest here. More fun to hang out and get some things done. Thank goodness my company is going to let me go to 25 hrs/week, still be considered a full-time employee with benefits. I think I’ll do that for the rest of the year, then fully retire at the end of the year. Makes the most sense financially and from a health, benefits perspective.
My contractor will be picking up our final building permit approval today. That will open up our ability to start the dirt work in two weeks and get the foundation poured. That will really start making this real and having a house! Looking forward to celebrating that.
Going to keep this post short today. I have a lot of morning chores before I can start real work. Need to get focused and ready. Take care and stay present.
TTYL.
