johnridleyI spent until 1:30PM Saturday rebuilding the MythTV box. Then I got another load of topsoil and later a load of wood chips from the transfer station, and got them all deposited in something like the right places. Some smoothing remains to be done, but I didn't feel like gardening much in 40 MPH gusty winds and occasional showers.
I got the 12 sheets of 3/4" OSB down in the rafters of the garage as a proper storage area. Some reinforcing needed to be done as well. Since there was a lot of stuff up there already, and I really didn't want to carry it all down and back up the ladder, lots of stuff got moved several times to get it out of the way of where the floor needed to go down.
I found a fair amount of stuff that needed to get thrown away. The van is about half full of bags of packing peanuts and bubble wrap, for the next time I get over to Recycle Ann Arbor (usually every 6 weeks or so).
I'm going to have to take the car in for service, I got a report that the speedo started going crazy yesterday, so the vehicle speed sensor is probably dying. There's enough wrong with it now that I guess I just need to take it in and say "fix it." I'd love to work on it myself, I haven't done any serious mechanical work in many years, but there's just too much other stuff to do.
The garage is still a mess, but it's a mess you can actually see across now. I think another couple of full days of work and I might find the floor. I need to plan what storage systems I need to build; I think part of the attic might become raw materials storage; I currently do that in one corner, but the real estate on the floor is too valuable to use up a huge chunk of it for racks of pipe and stuff. I was thinking about storing sheet goods there too, but I'm not sure I want to try to lift sheets of plywood up that far. I may decide to go with a lift system.
