The robotic window shade project is completely operational. Ever since the IKEA motorized blinds were installed, this is how they needed to work. It seems like it’s been longer than a few weeks since work started on 2 weeks since on Implementing Home Assistant.
Maybe I’m a chump.
Yesterday, Impact Paving was doing a driveway down the street. While I was working in the yard, the foreman came by. He’s got the equipment and the guys here, so he could offer me a deal.
Sparky met a new dog, and was not at his best. It was embarrassing, but Sparky had fun.
The sun is setting, and all we have to do is feed the fire and drink the beer. Sparky wants to help.
Sparky found a shallow trench that was in the shade and that just fit his belly, so he wasn’t going anywhere. Sparky didn’t want to help.
Today’s rainstorm, along with all the recent rain, was enough to overflow the bridge. I’ve been waiting for this to see how the headwall project handled it.
The hole in the backyard is filled in. With the yard panzer, it took about a half-hour to spread and level six yards of top soil. That’s about 12,000 lbs of dirt.
Sparky is skeptical. He’s not sure that it’s a good idea to stand on a rock when it’s windy.
