  • Fence complete!

    Big storm on the way so I awoke at 6:40 to work on completing the installation of a split rail fence along the retaining wall. It’s now complete! Trips to hardware stores? Zero! Completion time including cleanup? 9:40am. I have so much time left in this day I think I’ll remodel the kitchen!

    Fence complete

  • 18 hours of ice

    So in the past 18 hours:

    • My wife couldn’t get off our street due to ice
    • Our friend managed to get onto our cove returning our son 11pmish but couldn’t get out
    • My neighbor had to use 4 wheel drive to escape the ice
    • The postman slid into a neighbor’s yard
    • My father-in-law had difficulty leaving the street
    • My 17 year old daughter slid her car into our retaining wall and had to climb out the passenger side
    • My 17 year old daughter took our van to pick the 5 year old up from school

    Waiting with bated breath to hear that the 5 year old makes it home safely and that the van survives.

    Oh, and btw, secondary roads in Knoxville are still precarious. This is why schools get canceled.
