So, I'm not sick. Guess it was just sore muscles. Today I slung an 80 lb bag of concrete on my shoulder. Same weight I fought with yesterday.
Not a bad list of things done after work today. Dug a hole, mixed concrete, set another post for the solarium. Got another OSB panel set in place and cut to size. It was too long. Cut and set a 2x4 as a cross beam for one OSB panel for better stability. That will also act as a small shelf. Got everything noted well anchored.
Then had the joy of cleaning up dog poop.
Got a call back from the news about the house across the street. They want to do a story on it tomorrow evening, after I get off work. They're going to interview me for it. I get to be on TV! Hope I don't break anybody's TV set.
While some of the neighbors are nice, they tend to be true to their NM heritage and rather dramatic. So I hope to get the tour and interview done quickly, before they converge and it winds up in a drama fest. I don't know. Maybe that would be best. That's what the news and society, especially locally, feeds on. Not information and rational discussion. I just don't want the news crew to be put off by a lack of focus from multiple inputs going different directions. I'd much rather the effects of the story have an effect not only for our neighborhood but other neighborhoods with similar situations.
