A couple minor updates.

 I haven't too much done after work the last couple of days.  One of the things that was missing from my winter checklist was cleaning the heater.  It was kind of dusty.



The filter wasn't too bad though.  Everything is now cleaned.



The new silicone didn't fix the leak.  It looks like a deeper dive will be required.  This presents an interesting issue, since I can't just shower at work.  So I briefly looked at alternatives.  The easiest option would be to put in a real shower stall right here.  I could move the counter to the other side of the fridge and put in a small stall here.  This is 2x2, which is the right size for a small shower.  The plumbing is right on the other side of the interior wall, and wouldn't require any floor modification.



The counter will fit under the light switch.



Longer term I am wondering if I should take out this wall and put the shower in the middle.  That would be a rather large undertaking and would require reworking a lot of plumbing and redoing the floor though.  



I also stopped by Tim's last night and picked up the pressure washer.  The plan for today is to do the concrete and wash the shed siding.



We got a lot of rain yesterday, and there are some small channels in the back yard.  Sigh.  



No movement on the checklist yet.  More coming soon in the next couple of days I hope. 

  • Support the shed (either pilings or add additional bracing)
  • Get windows installed in the shed
  • Paint the carport
  • Re-route the electrical cords
  • Install driveway markers
  • Get chains and a blade
  • Finish moving piles around (gravel and dirt)
  • Grade the driveway
  • Install acrylic and braces in carport.
  • Realign the front door
  • Winterize mowers
  • Shut off hose.
