Daughter didn't feel like doing a whole lot this weekend. She sprained her wrist pretty good at school and had it wrapped in an ace bandage all weekend. I was watching it closely for signs she may have fractured it but seems like just a sprain.
She did help me get the last section of plastic up yesterday. Wasn't too hard on her part, just had to hold the sheeting in place while I anchored it from the other side.
So, the only part to get closed up is the door and a couple of 1x2's to seal the west side. I can get all of that done tomorrow evening. So, one more day and the formal solarium is completed! Right on time for the first freeze warning of the season. It's a relief and point of pride to be finally done with it. Not to mention it comes as something of an emotional surprise when I realized how close I am to having it finished.
The plants I moved inside are looking better already, even though it's not completely sealed yet. I think I should be able to keep them going for some time. I also planted some cilantro in with the other plants.
Couldn't work on the porch today. It was raining and that would make the top section of concrete brittle.
So, I turned the focus inside. Going to make major strides inside the house this week. Made some fairly decent progress today. I think I can get the whole house looking much better by the end of the week.
Picked up the last lumber needed this evening. Plus a circuit breaker to install an electrical outlet in the solarium. Make it easier to hook up an electrical heater until I get the wood and solar heat installed. Not to mention lighting.
My energy is definitely improving. Most of my life if I felt tired or lazy, if I got up and moved a little bit, my energy level increased in a few minutes. For the time I kept saying how I had no energy, that wasn't the case. For the most part, moving around made me more exhausted than when I started. Sometimes so tired I could barely walk through the house. Now I'm getting back more to normal. Not entirely there yet but much better than the past year or so.
