Nice mostly lazy afternoon. Went for a walk with my wife to get some sun and some steps. It felt like a bit of a slog today, but it's good to catch some rays and keep the blood pumping well. Then I spent a little time cleaning up in my workshop in the basement. I had a few piles of wood that needed to be combined, and a few scraps that I figured are small enough to throw in my burn pile.
I need to borrow my friend's truck before too long - I've got 20 bags of rubble to go out, a big pile of old laths with a few more to come when I pull a ceiling down, and a couple more piles of assorted wood scraps. Often I'd just take the wood out back and burn it but when it gets to a certain amount and I need to get to the landfill anyway it's easier to just throw the whole lot in the back and be rid of it all at once. If I've got the use of a truck I can also go to the hardware store and get some more boards, to cover the section of floor that's currently lifted. If I don't do that then there's a clear space between the house and the attic, which means the chance of bugs getting into the house. There aren't too many bugs in the attic since I sealed up a few gaps but every once in a while we get a couple of stink bugs or mud wasps up there, and I really don't want those getting into the house.
