Thanks a lot, you bunch of despicable enablers. Had the wife out this morning for her weekly get out of the house excursion and we stopped at our local greenhouse which was having a discount sale. Came home with a Ohio climate hardy fig tree, totally not in the plans. Wife grew up with figs...

Had a floor drain connected to the outside footer drain which ran to a culvert 250' out. 4 inches of rain, floor drain backed up. Only got about an 1 inch max in the basement, but it was consistent. Fretting tens of thousands of dollars to dig up and fix....we luckily found a plumber with a...

Got the upstairs hallway painted today. Why this task this weekend? Almost 90 again outside and rain inbound tomorrow. If I tear into the packed mess of stuff, I am going to find photo frames and such we wanted to hang. The hallway wall is now finished and ready to hang photos.

Ran out to renew car tag this morning. Rate goes up in January, so I renewed for 2 years. Septic repair in process. Ugh. $$$ Need to decide on the list of things to try to get done today, but not complete. Lol
