Sun is trying to make an appearance, but it’s supposed to get cloudy as the day goes on, with rain tonight. Rats, I was hopi g it would hold off one more day, so I can clean up the pile of leaves and cut up shrubs I gphave laying out here from the porch project.
I finished the step part of the project yesterday, but did not get railings installed. Made a design change, in that, rather than spend time cutting out the board to fit around the posts, decided to mount the posts in top of the board instead. So will be heading to town this morning to get the brackets for that, take some boards I don’t need back to Menards, hit Lowes and HD to get some screws and check out paver stones to lay at the base of the step. Then will mount the posts after I come home. Can lay a tarp over the pile of debris for tonight. Tomorrow is supposed to be dry till night, when they say we might have some severe storms
Karen, what would we do without our Gorlla carts. I fortunately can use my lawn tractor to haul mine around if I have a heavy load. The brackets that hold my bagger system stay on my tractor, so I just slip the handle over one of the uprights. I also have a deeper cart for the tractor too. Thanks for the update on Velda and Chris. Tough road for both of them. Barbie, hesring loss as the others have said, is caused by any number of things. They are still discovering Covid related medical issues, so who knows. But no matter, don’t put off doing anything about it. That can make only make it worse. Studies are starting to show that loss of hearing may lead to dementia, it can cause balance issues etc . You may have fluid in the inner ear which doesn’t always show up on a rountine exam too. If you find you need hearing aids, do so and wear them. There are all kinds on the market, but getting fitted by a certified audiologist is best, becausethry can ubterpret test results, and get you the best fit. I realize that it’s a financial hardship for you, but there are programs out there that can help and I doubt you will need powerful expensive ones like Beth and I have to wear. But I and I know Beth, are both thankful that we have them and the technology that has advanced them.
Martha, I don’t know how small your saw is, but if you get a long enough blade, I would think it would do the job.
Nd to get going here. Things to do as I said and running to tbe different places will take time. So I’m off.
but did enjoy it...then we drove around then back to their house read scriptures and crocheted checked with my niece as they mentioned tornado's in Omaha guess it touched down about a mile from their apartment building but no damage at their place... they both live in separate apartments in the same building... remembered that I have 3 high school graduates and I'd not asked them what they wanted the memory box or cash really expecting them to say cash!!! none of them did so have 3 to make I for warned them that if box it would be awhile before they got them... I'd go somewhere here and get them but don't really want to worry about transporting them home even if I had the room... so think I will get them when I go to the first graduation and hopefully the store will have enough the same size.. and will have quite the project to finish during the summer
