Chilly Friday

 Looking at the forecast,

this might be the final chilly day.

Which is good, because I have GOT

to get these tomato and pepper plants

into the dirt!

Some of my cherry tomatoes are already

about 3+ feet tall and have flowers!

Yikes.

But spring is definitely here,

so probably on Monday I'll start

getting them in the garden.

(Tomorrow we have a farewell for

the Bishopric 1st Counselor and his

family, I served with his wife in

the YW Presidency and of course 

Rod is serving with him...)

Last night Rod and I had to run into

Hays to get some.... stuff.

Construction adhesive to install the shower?

Anyhow.

When Kyle and I were there on Tuesday,

they were out of the drywall we use.

Yesterday he installed the final piece so

we needed more and they had just gotten

a shipment, so I paid for another 78 sheets.

They said we could pick them up today.

So... about 11:30 Kyle showed up with his

truck and big trailer and we headed back

into town again to get the drywall.

Which means we then had to UNLOAD and

stack another 78 sheets of drywall.

He said he counted and is pretty sure he only

needs 68, but I already paid for it.

And then the guy running the forklift,

after he had it all loaded, said he messed

up a couple of pieces with his forks, so

he added an extra 6 pieces to our pile.

So we probably have 16 more than we need.

But, maybe we will need them.

If we don't, we'll load them back up and

return them.

Along with all the extra pvc we ended up

not actually needing.

(We also have to return a BUNCH of insulation...)

But that goes back to Menards in Salina

so that will wait until we go to get the

counter tops. We'll use that in-store credit

to pay for all the faucets for the kitchen and

2 bathrooms.

WEEEEE!

Anyhow.

This is the closet and bathroom doors

in our master bedroom.

The other side off the master...

(we have a LOT of windows in this house!)

Pretty sure that is one of the windows in the office.

The plumbing is looking good!

A few more days and it should be ready

to connect to the septic tank!

Meanwhile, after we got all the drywall

unloaded, we had to run up to Kyle's house.

All the peach jam is in the cupboard in his

island (since I made it at his house....)

and we needed another jar.

And also I wanted to pick up all the 

eggs he collected this week and get

them ready for the freeze dryer.

We replaced the ball valve on the side

and it is working MUCH better now.

The first batch of eggs took about 48 hours.

These are already done and it was just

under 24 hours. (I need to get done here

and go get them into sealed mason jars...)

Kyle's raspberry plants are SPREADING all over 

his strawberry raised bed.

The strawberries in this bed are struggling

a little bit, partly because the rabbits keep eating them.

But the little gnomes are doing their best to

guard and protect them...

They were originally black, but you couldn't

see them against the dirt, so Kyle painted them!

Aren't they cute!

Ok.

Gotta go do the eggs!

Nite all!
