Projects.

One of his projects for today. Specifically, it's the post lying in the ground in the photo, which is now upright, but not yet thoroughly packed in or cemented. He needs a second shade sail to cover the rest of the studio front, because the single one doesn't even cover the rolling mill at certain times of day, and it doesn't reach the grinder and buffer at all.

And it's too hot to do that in this kind of sun.

It's been a slow day, or rather, it just seems that way. No matter how much I get done, I'm still so far behind on everything that I just look at my to-do list and want to give up. Not an option, but man, I'm tired.

And the week to come is going to be a monster.  Chimney cleaners first thing Monday, and they're going to have to do a repair to one of the stoves. All that bureaucratic stuff I thought we'd be doing a week ago? There's still all that to be done now. And presumably the well tank will be in, and we'll have to get them out here to dig. Which likely means a day or two without running water again.

And I hope it's in by mid-week, at least; the new assembly already began burning out after something like three days, so the old tank must be completely shot, and I would really, really like to get that taken care of before we lose water again. Of course, all that expense to come means that we still need shares, and we most definitely still need sales, several grand's worth of sales, until I can get everything covered that has to get covered. Which means I have to get caught up on the work somehow. Links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (new priorities, needed for Miika, are 3-4 pairs of the fly traps [the second item on the list]); 
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

After such a grim year last year, and the first half of this one at least as bad, we urgently need to move 2025 onto a better footing, because taxes to this Nazi administration have already tapped us out and we still owe more anyway, so please share all of the links.
