Glorious morning so went out for a walk. Took a slightly extended version of my longer loop around town. At I was getting to the end it wasn't quite as long as I'd expected so I added a small detour, and ended up at 10.1 miles. It felt good to be out and about.
This afternoon I did a little electrical enabling work. My dining room has four sockets on three different circuits. One of them is on its own circuit and really doesn't need to be (and for good measure it's wired with old ungrounded cable), and another is connected to a circuit in the basement, which makes no sense at all. So my plan is to connect them all to the same circuit and make sure everything is properly grounded. Then I can get rid of some more nasty old cable. So far I've got as far as putting in a junction box so the socket currently connected to the basement can be easily transferred to the new circuit. I ran out of time so couldn't do the rest of it - if I start and can't finish we have no internet until I do finish, so the rest of it can wait.
Then I cleared some space over the other side of the house. A friend with a trailer is taking me to get some drywall tomorrow morning and I need a space to put it. I've got guys coming on Thursday to fit the drywall, so they can carry it up the stairs. My friend with the trailer is in his 70s so I'm not going to ask him to help carry 1000lb of drywall up the stairs and through a narrow corridor.
