Busy Weekend

It’s been a busy week. Last Wednesday night, I spent an hour or more under the house, assessing the leaks in our air conditioning ducts. Thursday night I spent in the attic, putting down insulation where there was none. Friday night we hosted my parents for a fun-filled dinner.

Yesterday morning, I was back under the house, replacing a duct splice that didn’t meet code. There were other ducts that needed work: some of them sitting on the junction boxes without being taped. It was leaky as hell. But after three hours of “thinking small” while I worked in the hot dark crawlspace, the bodies were all hid. Er, I mean, the ducts were in great shape.

I also took some time to pull some CAT5 cable from my garage to the den. Now I have to finish the connectors in my den and it’ll be ready to go.

Oh, and did I mention I cut the grass in our huge yard, too? And then went to Bram’s birthday party at Tanner‘s house?

Today, we took a walk after breakfast. Then Kelly cleaned up her car while I emptied six or more boxes worth of books onto my bookshelf. The scary part of that job is that it doesn’t look like I even put a dent in the pile of boxes full of books left to be shelved.

Hallie is now snoozing and I think I’ll catch a nap, too. Even Superman takes a nap every now and then.
