        Yup. Gotta flip the switch on the thermostat from "cool" to "heat". What a pain in the rear.

                      wood split and stacked, new to me splitter has a new tire and may need a new engine.... don't need it right away.

                      Ski boat needs to get on the trailer and winterized, pontoon moved into the lift, cleaned, covered, winterized.

                      Putting in a back up generator and new service panel to replace the decrepit panel we've been limping a long 7 years now, then to finishing the basement sometime this winter.

                      It never ends. You just have to try to prioritize, plan, budget, and do your best.
                      There's always something new to learn.

                          Kerri is starting a home daycare business so we have been doing a bunch of stuff to get ourselves ready for the inspection by the state. The biggest project is tomorrow. In order to have a swing set, the thing needs to be set in an area filled with playground sand 9 inches deep. Sooooo...I am going to be building a 26' by 26' box with RR ties and moving roughly 20 yards of sand by hand.

                          Just saying it sucks. HA!

                              Happily, the area the sand is going is inside a fenced area.
