Again a beautiful, cold clear day at the ranch. Day-trip December 16, 2017.
This time Allan was there to help me and we got the acrylic panels put up on both porches.
Tasks:
Installed a new globe (glass shade) on the bathroom propane lamp, Allan had already put on a new mantel. We have two more as backup but they are not exactly the type we want. I will be ordering two of the type we are currently using to have on hand as backup.
Did a survey of kerosene lamp chimneys. We have a lot...various sizes.
Put the new cover on the Weber BBQ. It seems to be very high quality. Does anyone need an 18" BBQ cover?
Kirsten came up to double check the horizontal match of the pattern for the curtains. This is something she had to do on site to get it right. Sewing, of course, has to be done at home.
Delivered Costco quantity of TP.
Bought the canola oil, brought it up, ended up coming back home with me. So, it will wait until next trip.
Need to bring steel wool for stuffing mouse holes. Have identified a suspicious spot in the main room.
Allan will be doing the annual winter water system shut-down: fill the upper tank, drain the line, disconnect pump battery and set on trickle charger. The 7K gallons has to last us until spring and risk of freezing is past.
Reminder: there is a leak in the water system somewhere between the upper tank and the house. The valve at the upper tank can be open to supply the house while you're in residence...for cooking/washing/toilets. If you're staying over, shut it at night. And, of course, be sure it is closed when you leave.
That's it.
