Prepped for tomorrow.

Today was actually a gorgeous day.  Warm enough that I might put off turning on the heat.  I did last night, and it was chilly, 52 in my apartment when I woke up this morning.

Today's septic update:  Zip.  The excavator is in the same spot as it was yesterday.  Given that it was a pretty much perfect day for work outside, I am starting to get annoyed that he doesn't seem to give a damn that he is a month behind schedule.


I went up at lunch and got the people at Home Depot all wound up.  I got 270 feet of direct bury cable.  I will be picking up the trencher tonight.


I got a late start this evening since we went out for a coworker's birthday, and left a little early to do some more work since I didn't even get close to 8 hours today with the wire fiasco at Home Depot, but I did almost finish the outlet.  I found out as I went to button it up, that I have apparently lost the screws for it.  Most annoying.  I am pretty sure I have a spare outlet with the screws in it somewhere.


That was pretty much it.  I left a little early since I have a few things to finish up.  Matt is coming up tomorrow, so I will have help getting the electric done in case the trencher is too wimpy to go through the kinda paved part.  I am actually considering sleeping on the couch up there tonight, it will be warmer (the space heater keeps it around 60 up there).  And I won't have to wake up early.

Unfortunately, since I couldn't finish the outlet, no movement on the checklist.
