Another day to work in the heat! I watered the garden this morning because I knew it wasn’t going to rain and it was going to be really hot. I think it is already in the 80s and it’s about 8AM.
I got to do something different at work today. One of the mobile homes has a hole in the floor and I get to fix it. Mark gave me the basic instructions and I had all the tools that I needed to do the job. We pulled the carpeting back and checked the hole and used a hammer to make it bigger! I measured the length and width after I spent an hour cleaning the floor joist off and trying to clean out under the the very corner of the kitchen cabinet. The floor had been worked on before and they didn’t really do a very good job, well, I’m new at it and I probably won’t do a very good job either. I gave a piece of the flooring to Mark so he could get a piece of plywood to place in the hole. After lunch Mark went to Lowe’s and I watched the office.
When he got back I went and picked up the saw and cut the board that I needed 75x19 inches. He also had a couple of 2x6 boards that I needed for the ends and a piece to scab to the other 2x6.
I was pretty proud the board almost fit the first time but I knew I needed to cut about a quarter inch off and a little off one side. After I did that it fit really tight. There is a little problem though, it is bigger than most of the sides it is against. It took about 2 hours to get it to fit, screw it in place and replace the carpeting. I thought I did pretty good.
After that I had to look for things to do to get my time in and the more I looked the more I found to do and almost worked past quitting time, not good!
Well, I’m glad I mowed yesterday, I just don’t feel like it today. I think that I will put some more water on the garden and take it easy!!! Night Y’all…
