A full month of fun, working on inside trim & finish, and considerable goofing off. Now that we have settled in (5 months) to our lovely home, I have established a routine. AM is spent drinking coffee and searching the internet. Eat lunch and work all afternoon whatever finish and trim detail interests me.
Invited several friends over to move the disassembled 4 post lift from the trailer into the shop. Hope to report this shop tool is operational in the January summary. Also worked on the 2 post life, getting it ready for assembly in early 2024.
Got kitchen cabinet toe kicks installed this month. No more tennis balls getting lost by the dogs. The biggest completion this month is the walk-in pantry. Lot’s of open shelves, a large spice rack near the entrance and a fully functional bar cabinet.
The 31st: Last day of the month and the year. Late morning, and we were sitting around doing nothing in particular when we heard a BANG ! Sounded like it originated from the laundry room. As I approached the mechanical room could hear water running. Opened the door to see water pouring out of the boiler drain pipe. Shut down the system and closed appropriate valves so we didn’t lose all of the water. Called Lucas. He couldn’t come out until Tuesday, Jan. 2
Jan. 2 update: Lucas couldn’t find anything broken. He thinks it was a pressure spike/surge causing the relief valve to trip. Been running it for several hours now and all is well…. Happy New Year !
