Setting screws into the drywall...
Jim had to move storage units (aka - the kids' old dresser!) to get back into this corner...
This afternoon, we unpacked the new beverage cooler!
Getting it on the 2-wheeler...
Starting the trek up the stairs...
Rather than bring the 2-wheeler into the apartment and risk scratching the floor with its metal base, Jim brought in a doormat and made the transition from 2-wheeler to his little dolly...
Then he was able to just roll it down the hall...
And into the kitchen! Obviously it will take a lot of work to install it but it's up here now which is the first step. I'm very excited!
There was a lot of packaging material (foam and cardboard) in the cooler so after he brought it upstairs, we loaded up his car - some just went into our trash/recycling bins but he also made a trip to the recycling center to drop off steel. While he was out, he got more diesel fuel for the machines.
Our new inline water filter that Jim ordered came in today so he decided to replace that. This is a messy job because obviously the filter is full of water and even though he shut off the valve, there's still water in the system.
Taking out the old filter. Jim was happy with the looks of the old filter. According to our water softener, we have run 31,000 gallons of water since he changed it a year ago. Plus, that shows that we are doing a good job with water conservation, average only a little more than 40 gallons of water per day per person. According to Google (who knows everything, right?), the average person uses 80-100 gallons of water per day.
Cleaning out the unit...
Putting the new filter in. Jim bought a different type of filter this time - it's supposed to filter out smaller particles. We're going to see how it works this time around.
Putting it all back together...
This morning, Jim sprayed the wasp nest one more time...
Then later on in the afternoon, he used a big stick to get the nest off the soffit...
