After a too short night, over to Lynne & Perry’s we went to lower the water level in their well a bit more (10 gallons of drinking water consumed in the last five days).  Then Chree and I went back to work on the walkway, but, after an hour of really hot, sweaty work, had a major disagreement on the deck board alignment.  Fortunately, soon thereafter it started to rain (as forecast) which dampened down the fires somewhat.  With palatable relief for all parties, we moved on to my top priority rainy day project: spraying the Bora Care insecticide onto the interior woodwork of the shed.  Used up a gallon and a half of the Bora Care (mixed 1 part insecticide to 4 parts water) on the oak beams, joists, and ceiling in the shed lower level and the floor, wall sheathing, and studs up to the wall top plates in the shed upper level.  Having ignored the protective equipment warnings on the product label (basically you’re supposed to be garbed like a Muslim woman in full abaya), one wonders what kind of interesting cancer will ensue from getting Bora Care all over oneself during the spraying process.  With that in mind, the sprayer and I took a long hot shower together as soon as the job was done.  So romantic!  Perry stopped by in the midst of all the fun to return our carpet shampooer.  He tactfully didn’t say anything about the walkway deck board curves.
