Fall is here, summer gone 😕 chores change. Today is check out several hay location prices. Depressing. Wallet is scared. But, gotta do. And it's a job because I have to go see the hay.

Not much else planned. Tractor parts arrived. That repair needs to get done! Hope it's ready soon.

Something will be cooked in the oven today! Food & house warmed 😁 chicken parm is sounding good.

Cup refill needed !!

Sipping coffee, listening to the thumps under the house...the crawlspace guys are back with the vapor barrier. They'll also be adding foam inserts to the windows/vents and a dehumidifier. Cleanup guys were here on Wednesday, electrician comes next Tuesday to add a circuit breaker for the dehumidifier and hook it up.

It needed doing, for years.

Before:

It will be so nice to not smell mold. And hopefully the doors will stop sticking in damp weather!

Chilly weather here, not complaining, it's time.
Busy week ahead with school, then heading out to the east coast for a 50k race.
Anyone got any particular recommendations of things to see or do in DC?

I'm just outside of DC. Dh works in Arlington and rides the metro. I've ridden it a few times now and it seems pretty safe and we find it the best way to get around in town (crazy city drivers). I like driving PAST DC and I've got a group of parks on the water with beaches I like to sit quietly on while the boys run around and play.

The food trucks and vendors kind of ruin the tourist district in DC for us-scares the beans out of the kids-but if you can tolerate them, the museums and monuments make a fun walk. Some are free.

This whole setup needs to be taken out, especially that brick that if any weight were on it would collapse. Put a proper one in place, sister one right beside it if you have to before pulling that one out. I would join all those with these, you could do with others, but to save work, put two of these up, one on each side, https://www.homedepot.com/p/Simpson...-Post-Cap-for-4x-Nominal-Lumber-AC4/203302181 Where is the vapor barrier they put in?
