Day 190: Going to need those F'ing mittens today... 5am -3 degrees outside with a chance of flurries... Thinking about trying to get the furnace working again today. Heather headed off to work a little early to try and avoid the construction. I let the boy sleep in until 7... Filled him up with eggs (he's still on that scrambled egg kick that I thought wouldn't last long ). And he wanted eggs for lunch too... Did I mention we go through about a dozen eggs a day? Off to school. Man do I feel like a bag of dirt, didn't sleep last night, really feeling it... You know what else I'm feeling? Fucking cold! Ok down into the basement, something needs done. I dig out the ductwork that was stored against the wall... Then dig back to the far corner of the workshop to start hooking things up. Easier said than done, the whole wall was being used for storage. Boxes of books, bins of toys, Christmas stuff, a filing cabinet, totes of miscellaneous stuff put away and forgot about yeArs ago... Low and behold... Bottom box, far corner, deep as you for get in the tote, I find the tool to align the blades on the thickness planer... Must have fallen behind something and dropped to the bottom landing in the tote... Would have never found it if I wasn't doing the ducts. Sooo... I get to putting stuff together the way I wanted to see to done rather than how it was originally set up... and seriously WTF, are people who install furnaces just people who failed at doing body work on cars? What a mess, not even going to go into it... So I spent the day rebuilding parts of the furnace/ ductwork so things were joined proper, had screws holding the parts together, ran neatly through the joists, supported with hangers... Even got heat to most of the house now... Tomorrow I may relocate the thermostat, currently it's in a dumb place that fluctuates wildly in temperature and the furnace turns on and off more often than I blink. Lawson got home as I was cleaning up some. I made him dinner early since Heather had an unknown ETA, she was getting her COVID19 haircut after work. She eventually showed up and we had a rather unusual dinner that ranged from classy to 7-11 type food all on one plate, a bottle of wine to wash it all down. Boy retired to the basement after he ate to play games with his friends... Heather and I crashed in the bedroom, her tying strings together and me playing a game of pool I downloaded last night from the app store. I tried to talk my self into doing something more but my body wasn't having anything to do with shananagans like that... Been up for countless hours now... Hoping to pass-out soon.
