7 June 2013


As forecast, a dreary rainy day, perfect for doing inside chores. Took Dolores over to Kampersville for her first constitutional of the season.  Price still $15.  Built a sturdy wooden box out of scrap PT to go over the scrap (‘cause I found out it was too small for the walkway connections after I had drilled it full of holes) weather-tight electrical box that will hold the ends of the two live wires coming down the hill from Kate Middleton’s house.  Made some minor alterations to the carrying case for my dead DeWalt drill/driver (Perry’s idea) so that it would accommodate my new Makita impact driver and hammer drill / driver plus three batteries.  The carrying case that the Makitas came in is literally twice the size of the DeWalt case. Drilled holes in and attached the fittings to the gigunda electrical connection box that will be installed at the waterfront end of the walkway.  Built (again out of scrap PT) and installed a camera platform down at the waterfront from which to record the construction activities that will take place there over the next year.  Packed the Tacoma and cleaned Dolores, ready for a quick getaway in the morning.  Another delightful dinner at Marty & Merry’s to finish off a fairly productive day.
