06/19/06 - Monday

Notes:

  • Horrible night of sleeping, Cass not much. So humid n hot. Chris says to tape up the netting for now, so we can leave dome open.
  • First AM chore- Cass in a closed-up yurt for transport of materials. Ugh.
  • Chris to Poocham to fill water jugs, clean water filter(hope it works), get clover and hay, and (normal Monday task) get ice
  • After all carted up (the steep driveway in mega heat/humidity), Chris dusts diatomaceous on deck boards. Gets ladder + broom to take with, for next w/e's cleaning @ Pooch
  • Very humid and hot. Chris drenched. sSIPPEE gotta go. Is even hotter than yurt.
  • Rush to get Chris off ontime. Didn't get planning done. But still glad we got footings done last night.
  • Water filter working again. Woohoo!
  • Major storm in afternoon w/darkness-wind-thunder-rain. Didn't start letting up til after dark. No site work for Cass :-(
