Back to a combination of writing code and attacking my house.
Today I needed to follow up a current project and make a tweak to update a historic project. Not a lot of work on either today, but the tweak was to finalise another sale of the historic project. Sales are good.
Then I got to fighting with another section of my wall. I'm trying to be reasonably systematic despite the fact I'm really growing wearing of using hammer and chisel to break up mortar, mixing fresh mortar and doing the joint properly. Today I was dealing with a significant mismatch in levels between two concrete blocks so took the angle grinder to it. It makes short work of things but makes quite a mess that I have to clean up afterwards, which is a hassle. It's also a hassle wearing a respirator in this heat. But I got another strip of my wall fixed up. Maybe tomorrow I can do another strip or two, then cut the panels and fit them. The heat is really rather tedious. Hopefully fitting ever-more panels will help with that.
The final thing in the house was to break up an old wooden chest I found in the attic. It's seriously old - there were newspapers in it dating back to 1942, but it was in a really sorry state, literally falling apart. It's going out into the burn barrel soon. There's another chest up there that is in better condition and looks like it has some kind of markings to show where it came from, so I'll probably keep hold of that.
And then we went to see some friends for dinner and had a really good evening. Overall, a good day.
