Been a funky year. Rain rain and more rain and then rain and even more rain wreaking havoc on most of my work this year. All of it seems to have been weather dependent. Then toss in 6 weeks of sitting on my hands. Laying up from sudden onset of angina, 98% blockage of 'A' cardiac artery, getting rooter rootered>stent. After the procedure Doc said give it 4-5 days and you're good to go back to work.... and then it rained some more. Always having to wait two days for the site to dry off.



Finally got a day in, then it rained for a week on and off then it rained Covid-19. this past week has been beautiful working weather in a beautiful spot to work. AND that's gonna be it for while. Wife is being "Wifey" about working with the virus threat, works in health care related field. So we'll say inside work will not be the mountain I'm dying on today. Tho if she don't back off from the paranoia, tomorrow might be different. And the work lined up for the next month evaporated.



Certainly enjoyed this job. The heart fix appears to be solid. And now I wait to work again, fahq.

We're lucky enough to be able to keep working (for now) because we've been framing a duplex and are able to comply with our local health authority's requirements.
It's not the most fun, and it's got a couple of odd details (like a call out for a 1-1/2" deep framed wall where the refrigerator is).
First floor is almost complete, and our second floor framing package should be on site on Monday or Tuesday.

I've been fighting with my wife on this since we got this whole ridiculous thing going. I keep trying to sneak out of the house to work. I keep trying to get things done. I keep trying to plug along.
The other day she finally said to me, "aren't you the one that's been complaining that we always have a social obligation every weekend and that you've never got time to get your house in order? Well here it is!"

She's right. This is an absurd situation, but the whole nation is doing it in unison. Take is as a sign. Work at your pace and do what's right for you. I'm trying to be very cognizant and respectful of the fact that there's thousands of people out here in our country that are suffering from an unfamiliar disease right now, but I'm also not trying to look a gift horse in the mouth.
Let's take this time to get right in whatever capacity we can.

Glad to hear you're feeling well. I really enjoy reading your posts here and without getting all sentimental about it, I'd like to keep reading them. Take care of yourself. We'll be back in the swing of it sooner than later I'm sure.

Dude, I wanna see a pic of the funnel outlet. Sounds weird.

It's got a crank switch that I'm afraid to turn. It's live. I haven't disconnected it because it's knob and tube and it's inline with other stuff that I need to stay on, but I'm afraid that if I touch any of the wires the wrapping will fall off and everything will be boned. It's in a corner, under a desk, and as of this writing, totally innocuous. Don't look at it crooked though.

That's what the extendo portion is, but I've never seen the socket that it screws into just mounted into a wall before.

You can also get the kind where there's two outlets on the side of the extendo part instead of the switch. I see those in basements.

That's funny you said that. The Carpenter taking the picture told me to suck my gut in. So we did a second take! Lol
