So I took a bunch of pictures of the defects, and he'll have to have a state inspector from the Registrar of Contractors look at it, if the guy doesn't make it right he'll lose his license and bond money.

Well, thank gawd at least he has SOME recourse.
With everything that needs done around here, and me being unable to do it myself, I have no choice but to use contractors, and I already know that when 'we sell it (some unknown future date), we won;t get back anything near what we put into it.
I'm sure that if either of us had our properties in/near a city, the results would be different. Oh well...
G'nite. Have a good one.
Still mostly clear tonight, but the world clouds over tomorrow with numerous massive thunderstorms and more rain than I wanna see. Got some chores I really need to get done tomorrow before this rain starts because it might not quit until Sunday.
Well, I see your temp is dropping while the humidity is going up, but those cloudy skies icons aren't showing any rain drops. 20% is a pretty small chance.
20% is usually 110%, kinda like your forecasts.....
'Ah. Just backwards from here. 20% means it ain't gonna happen at all. 30-50% is maybe.
What did you have planned for tomorrow?
I'm still working on the old mans construction defects, he sent me 35 new items this morning to add to the list....
Glad he has money, I enjoy sitting in the cool office making the same as out in the field....

Slight modification to the pole saw, so instead of cutting limbs, I will attempt to take down all those 6-8 foot tall weeds (thick stems). I can't use any other cutting tool I own because of my inability to crawl around on my hands and knees or bend-stand-bend-stand. This way (if it works), I can just casually walk around cutting these things down, then pick them up later and haul to the burn pile.
That's a good idea. From what you explained about some of those weeds you could use a brush hog
I'd love to have a brush hog. There's a zillion things it could do here. Just don't happen to have the many hundreds of bucks they cost.
You have a PTO on a tractor? ...I've always wanted one but never bought.
The Cadet is doing fine on the small farm. There isn't much weeds tho, just grass with a couple scranny weeds
Nothing here has a PTO, so it would have to be self-contained, like a DR. The Cadet can mow a lot of things, but not woody or really thick-stemmed weeds like a brush hog.
Hear that, Eli sheared a blade drive cutting grass or a stump, she had no idea, just guessing it was a stump.
Hitting a stump.... even a 2-3" one... usually bends the blade. To break the blade drive sounds more like a very large stump or a steel pole or something nasty.
Could of been, I wasn't there at the time, just guessing
Likewise, my friend. With any luck, maybe you'll be able to stay in the office and type reports all day.
Nite nite.
Nite nite.
The rain started much earlier than expected, so I did not get to try my weed whacking experiment, but the rain was not as heavy as forecast, so it just kinda pitter-pattered all day.
That's the current forecast (the one they changed TO when the previous one didn't happen). Previous forecast said over 1" today and tonight.
Just a few tomatoes. I think the chickens have been using my power tools to make their own doorway into the garden and they have been harvesting those tomatoes for us.
Went out to water my melons tonight and noticed something ate the skin on them last night, just enough off each melon to ruin them....I could see rabbit shit in the garden, so I assume the rabbits are the culprits this time rather than quail. It looks like I have about half a dozen honeydews that were not ruined, I picked all but two I could get at due to water flooding the raised bed.
Wicked wabbits!
Ours eat damn near everything you put in front of them, and that which we do not offer, they steal.
I wouldn't mind if they ate just one, but no, they had to taste several.....
And I assume their partial to the skins
Maybe they know something we don't, like maybe melons are like potatoes -- all the good stuff is in and immediately below the skin. The center is useless carbs.
Just tomatoes and peppers. Lousy weather made it unlikely anything else would ripen in time.
Probably, but I like the inner portion a little better....
I forgot about that...even tho it was only a couple months ago.
It was snowing the end of May first of June if I remember correctly?
And you notice that most humans peel the skin off potatoes and throw it away because we only like the insides...Probably, but I like the inner portion a little better....

Yup, and heavy rain almost daily most of June and July. Totally NOT normal.
There's one about 75 miles away. Not worth the trip (gas-wise).
I remember that, but it was snowing until June, wasn't it?
