The cap is now in the truck instead of on it.

I didn't do much on Saturday.  I got a hold of Aunt and Uncle, and they are tentatively going to drop off the CR-V this weekend (assuming the weather stays nice).  But otherwise it was snowing off and on, though no real accumulation.  And it was windy.

I tested the air fryer.  It makes a surprisingly good pizza.

 

Sunday I got back to work.  I went up and grabbed my reciprocating saw, and went to town on the cap.  This is what the innards look like if anyone is curious.  I said solid wood, but I should have said particle board.

 

One big pile of cap.  

 

I managed to not hit the truck with the saw (I cut it up with the cap still on the truck).  But one of the pieces fell outwards even though it was leaning in, and I have a couple new scuffs on the truck.  Sigh.

 

All automotive is safety glass, so I was a bit surprised that this window broke.  I wasn't exactly being gentle, but safety glass normally doesn't require it.  Oops.

It is in the back of the truck, ready to go to the dump today.

 

Next up I decided to clear this area up a bit.  This is where I plan to park the CR-V.

 

It didn't take long with the tractor and bucket, though I did the area in front of the grill by hand since there were cords and stuff there I didn't want to destroy.It is scraped down to the ice on the bottom, which should melt off by this weekend.

 

This marks the end of the winter projects.  I probably won't bother with the whole house filter to be honest.  It got added because of stains in the toilets, but they really aren't bad.  And then I have to remember to change the filter every couple of months and so on.
