  1. 4,226 steps yesterday. I didn't do much in garage yesterday, just couldn't push myself any more. Instead I started my Taxes...UGH! My knees and hands are really feeling the pain from all this building. I keep meaning to make an appointment for the hand surgeries, each hand done separately, but there always seems to be something holding me back. Either the Winter snow shoveling or now the construction. I have to get this done as I can barely hold on to anything and opening jars, etc is really hard/painful. Soon I hope. One slim strip of wall board is left and all the walls will be up. Then the dividing wall will be dealt with. Looks so different in there. Will take another pix when last of walls done.
  2. 5,112 steps yesterday. We were both too tired to work yesterday so took a day of rest. Plan is to get rest of panels up today and firmly anchored. TNR reopens 4/2 so she is going to be busy there, we are trying to get garage done before then...
  3. (I too don't want to snark at a time like this but just this once.) Ummm....in Robyn speak, "Not safe"? I too thought it a bit odd that Kody wasn't next to Janelle. But maybe as @LilyD said it was by Janelle's request, he not be next to her.
  4. 6,775 steps yesterday. I didn't do much in garage, my friend was hanging the wallboard, she's a pro at that!! I cleaned out all the coolers and replaced the straw. Shoveled the decks around feeding stations in morning, afternoon sun melted the majority of the rest of the snow. Most of the wall boards are up, just anchored with a few screws at this point. Today I will be snapping chalk lines to mark studs and she will either be using roofing staples or more screws to do the final anchoring. It looks so cool inside even with just the bare boards up!
  5. 5,970 steps yesterday. I am so sore/achey, I was glad my friend decided to take the day off yesterday! She's going to gather all her tools and saw horses for putting up the walls for today. 5" of new snow last night, but no more in forecast. I cleared feeding stations this morning, the rest, I am just going to let melt. Our work is inside the garage so the snow on the ground won't be an issue. What a relief having all the feeding done in the garage will be!!
  6. Same here! Though I can tolerate. GZ in small doses, I won't watch again until Sunny and Jeff are gone!
  7. 6,170 steps yesterday. Drove to Lowe's and got 15 sheets of OSB Sheeting for the walls, I had no idea what it was until I saw it and best description I can give is pressed largish chips of wood. It will be painted. Between that and 2/3 of Chewy order arriving, I was worn out from lifting and carrying. Even though my friend did most of the unloading of the wood... Work in progress....
  8. Me too! And I agree that the medical peeves could always be re-incorporated into the regular peeves thread if thinning the number of threads is the ultimate goals.
  9. 5,177 steps yesterday. Got all the plastic up on the walls and measured for wall board. I did the marking of the studs on the floor for the nailing wood process so lots of bending and reaching. Today we go and buy the wood for the walls and a few other things. If the weather is not too wet! It is supposed to be nice during the day, a shower or two, but rain/snow in evening and overnight. We really need the snow in the mountains... It is really taking shape and I'm getting excited for it to be finished!!
  10. 6,233 steps yesterday. Another rest day from garage work. We are both feeling it and decided rest was the better choice. I did laundry and some tiding around the house and sat a lot in the recliner. Didn't realize I actually made that many steps! I think today we will begin again! The weather is going to be nice today, but rain and snow back over the weekend.
  11. Every time I come to this thread and see Logan's post, I cry.
  12. Me too! It feels so strange to feel such strong emotion about a person I don't really even know, aside from what was shown on TV and SM.
  13. I fell and broke my tail bone at a fairly young age (~25). I was chaperoning my kids Montessori class on a roller skating trip. I can sort of skate, no tricks or anything. There were a couple kids that were really nervous/scared, so I had one in each hand as we skated around. Then they went down holding tight to my hands so I landed on my arse very hard. It was sore for days, I could walk and function but it was definitely sore. So I went to the dr and an xray showed it was actually broken, not just bruised as I had thought. He manipulated it back into position (don't ask!!) and gave me one of those pillows to sit on whenever I sat. Not much else they can do actually, but at least it healed in proper position. It still aches when I sit on hard/cold surfaces to this day, from a good 50+ years ago. So, I guess what I am suggesting is go to the dr for an xray just to be sure it isn't broken. And if it is, some pain pills might help and who knows maybe now there is some other new fangled treatment....
  14. 5,625 steps yesterday. Ran a few errands, no garage work, my friend was burning winter trash pile so was busy there. I was still really sore so needed the day off anyway. Today we hang plastic on walls in prep for the wallboard. Not sure what else, but the press is on to finish before the end of the month!
  15. Missed a day, guess I forgot to hit Submit! 6,699 steps on Monday. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 7,808 steps yesterday. Quick PO run. Then I loaded the back of a pickup truck with the pile of debris that has been in driveway a couple years. Kitties like to play in it in hidey holes under the branches and on top of boxes squished by the rain and snow. I am paying for that dearly today, I hurt all over. Then I helped my friend rip all the plastic sheets off the walls that were covering the insulation so she could put up new, maybe today. Then did a laundry. I am not used to all this physical labor hope I can make it to the finish!
