Today was supposed to be a day of cleaning and preparation for the Thanksgiving festivities. I was able to complete a few things but the day was mostly spent outside.
Today was wire/electricity day for the barn. Paul rented a trencher to dig the trench for the wire to sit. My cousin, Andy, graciously donated his time doing not so fun things. It was cold, it sprinkled a little and the work did not make the body feel good.
Ethan, myself, Andy and Paul were able to get it done. Tomorrow is the inspection.
The trencher got stuck at one point, so Paul had to hook it up to the tracker and use the tractor to keep things moving. I was running the trencher. I couldn’t go too fast or it would good up the depth of the trench and possible impede us passing inspection tomorrow.
Ethan was a trooper. He stayed out the whole time as well. He was exerting himself. He was VERY tired at the end. I took about 5 hours of bending, lifting, pushing and pulling.
I also was exhausted.
Paul stayed out and did more trenching after the wire was done. He wants to organize a water drainage system so that the area won’t always be constantly wet.
Afterwards, he returned the trencher and then headed to work to put the snow tires on my van. He didn’t get home until after 10 pm. Long day!
I was able to give the dogs a bath, our Sunday staple. Everyone gets their nice and fresh bedding and we remove the “doggy” bedding.
This evening, I logged into work for about 3 hours to try to catch up. I am booked out for two weeks. This is insane. We are at the slowest time of the year for hiring. I am scared for March. That is when it starts to get busy.
I am afraid to wake up sore tomorrow.
