Back home and just fed the fish. Will do some water changes tomorrow. Still cool outside for summertime.

It's been a good back day.  I'm starting to wonder if the positions I have to get in while grooming make it worse.  I clip and scissor with my right hand and hold with my left.  I'm most always bent to the right.  I'd hate it if grooming made me hurt more.

Today I finished the laundry, then swept, then mopped the fish room floor with my mopping machine.  It was almost like mopping up mud.  Then I scrubbed the floor with a Clorox solution and dried it with old towels.  It looks pretty good now.  I rarely do this job because it's just a concrete floor.  It's like mopping the floor of a garage.

Then I took my big drugs and once they kicked in bagged and boxed fish.  It sure is less stressful bagging juvies than adults.  Last week I shipped 6 proven pairs and two of them finned the first bag and had to be taken out of the bag and re-bagged. 

All that's left is to send tracking numbers and do daily water change.
Always move forward. Never look back.

...I know it seems like we're taking forever....that's because we are!!! :D :D :D Don't need it finished until the end of Dec, but definitely will have it done before then...

...I got all of the walls in the bathroom finished boarded today....will have to do the trim out next....I'm using a crown molding that is hard for me to figure the cut angles with the chop saw...when we did the living room Dean was in town and he was a professional trim carpenter most of his working life...he's out of town and was going to come back and help me for a day or two but has strained his back moving logs...so I guess I'll figure out the compound cuts myself...that will be slow!!!!

...after that I'll caulk and putty the wood where it needs it and then prime it, then two coats of semi-gloss....


...a week or so after finishing my work in the bathroom, I'll start prepping the walls of the bedroom for painting...Lucy says she wants to hire someone to do it and save my body (for what, I don't know)...but Im too far in now to back out for someone else to finish it up...I'll just take my time and do it right...
Happy Aquariuming,
Ron
