I had planned on completing the porch today. Then the wind picked up and I figured it may not be the best day for it. Likely blow leaves and other junk into the concrete. Besides, I wasn't feeling all that energetic.
Finger is getting better. It was so swollen that the skin is stretched out as the swelling decreases.
Of course, my finger is another reason I didn't want to do the concrete. Risking getting concrete in the same wound wouldn't be good. The infection has done enough tissue damage.
I did get daughter's room cleaned up from the damage the cat did last weekend. Started cleaning the rest of the house.
Picked up another 6 bags of concrete on the way home this evening.
Daughter didn't feel like doing a lot today. Had a little bit of a cough. Checked her peak volume and it was acceptable. So, I was okay of she didn't want to do much, with the winds today.
Going to work on the main structure of the ramp this week. Then finish the surface next weekend.
Have to get the last upper beams up for the solarium. Then get the foam strips mounted. Then get the film in place. My biggest concern is really keeping the dogs from tearing up the film while I'm attaching it. To make it as taut as possible, I have to go one upper beam at a time and let the film sit on the ground. The way I have mounted the plastic before taught me a few lessons. Now I just have to keep the dogs at bay while I'm attaching it. Maybe they'll behave while I'm physically present, which will have to be done all in one shot, one evening.
Finally getting absolute proof the mouse poison is working. Found two dead mice today. Seeing evidence most of the bait trays have been eaten from. Which means there were more mice than I have seen. I think they should all be gone soon, unless more come in. I'm just going to keep poison in place all winter.
