Warming up the new Microwave!

Checking on the remaining mama turkey. She has taken up residence behind our A/C compressor. I’ve been checking on her the past few days. I haven’t seen any eggs hatch, a couple have popped (gone bad). And at this point, I’m not confident any of these eggs are viable any longer.

Attic Adventures!

Morning time, Chore time!

Checking on the mama turkey who is still sitting on an egg. She’s been pretty dedicated and made a nest in the tall grass. It was rather difficult to find her, you would not know she was there unless you walked up on her!

Garrett wanted a chess lesson. I gave him a good lesson in the basics. We used his new set that Granny sent.

I sucked it up and went back up into the attic to make some progress on the bathroom project. I found the vent for the downstairs hall bathroom, venting directly to the attic. I’ll add that to the list of things to fix.

I had left an A/C duct disconnected, so I went up to fix that. I also cleared out some insulation around the existing fan and made a hole in the ceiling, so I can access the area from the bottom. I need to rewire the fan and light on to their own circuit. Also, as you can see, it also vents directly to the attic space, so that’s my next trick, to install a roof vent and properly escape the humid air.

The heat has been crazy, but its cooled off a bit and both Meagan and I were in a bit of a funk. But we’ve been getting out of that, and now back at it with the projects!

Making the cut!

Arya has been doing try out for the last three days, being called back each time. She found out she made the middle school team! This is a big deal for her, as last year they only took two sixth graders! Quite the accomplishment for her! This also means early practices, 5 days a week. So we will see how it goes!

Congratulations, Arya!
