So I took a light day by comparison to what I had been doing the last few days.
Took down most of the solarium. Only parts remaining are the upright posts. Going to cut those off at the base and give them to the next door neighbor. Hey, he said if I had any lumber to toss it over the fence, so that's what I'm doing.
Got the swamp cooler up and running.
Pulled a bunch of weeds by the back of the house.
Had a bunch of glass windows which I had originally collected to make the solarium more permanent. So I put those out for someone to pick up. Most of the glass is intact, so someone will likely take them. Couple were broken, so they went in the trash.
I'm starting to doubt that I'll have the stucco and painting done in the time needed. So, the ladder just may be forfeit. Have to sell it or just include it with the house when I sell the house. That's okay. Like I wrote previously, ladders have gotten cheaper since I moved in here. Maybe I'm better off keeping both ladders for work on the house, sell them and buy a new ladder after I move. If I even need one.
I was moving slowly and got tired easily today, so had to take a few breaks. Damn I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. Only thing I am happy about is that I'm not sick enough to need anyone to take care of me. Just sick enough to seem lazy. Something I've never been.
There's a lot more stucco patching than I had thought which needs to be done. The one bag will still cover all of it. Just means more time on the ladder. Hope I can make the pattern match. That may take an extra day. The pattern looks like they did the base coat, slung stucco on the surface and then smoothed it out. Just went out an looked at the pattern more closely. That's definitely what they did. However, the old stucco is all base.scratch coat which was painted over. There's no finish coat. So anything I do will kind of stick out, if slightly. Less once it's painted. I do have part of a bag of base coat that I've had for a long time. Maybe I can use that for the pattern and it will match better.
Once I move and have to get prescription drugs, I need to get a really strong sleeping pill. Even with Melatonin, Valerian, Benadryl and medical cannabis it takes me hours to get to sleep. So I spend way too much time waking up in the morning and getting to sleep at night.
So, gonna eat dinner, take my medications and hope to get to sleep at a decent hour tonight.
