Came home with a new radon fan, a new chainsaw, and a pile of wood for new front porch steps yesterday.
My wife recommended I just do 1 project at a time, but that seemed ridiculous. So I cut up a neighbor's tree for an hour but the batteries died so I had to stop that, installed the radon fan but needed a little bit of conduit to finish the electrical portion so had to leave that, backed the car out the garage so my wood wouldnt get rained on (despite it literally being installed to be outside 100% of the time as steps
) and lugged my chopsaw up from the shed to the garage to be "prepped". Thought I'd get to mow just a little bit, but when I started it, the battery was almost dead. put it on a charger for tomorrow.
so tonight I'll buy a new lawnmower battery on the way home, maybe install that or finish the tree or the radon wiring? ... only 4 "open" projects in various states of almost finished, that's not bad right?

Had an unexpected DIY project pop up. Came home Friday to standing water in a basement bedroom. I think the drain in the window well plugged up. I got that cleaned out but I ended up removing a whole bunch of drywall chasing water and mold. The spray foam behind the drywall was soaked. I was wringing out water like a kitchen sponge.
