The boys are back. Bert and Ernie (or a close facsimile of them) came by for breakfast.
While waiting for my lumber delivery to arrive, I set up my hammock. Out by the road seemed like a good spot so I would be aware when the truck arrives.
A pallet of block for the bathroom walls,
and some 2 x 4’s and 2 x 6’s for the walls and the roof.
Perhaps I should get busy taking these pallets apart for the 2 x 4’s for porch decking and the 1 x 4’s for what ever else.

The chipper needs a little attention. I removed the carbureator and took it over to a shop in Oceanview where they rent tools. They also do repairs, so I thought they might have a new gasket for this. Nope. So I re-used the old one with a little TLC.
There is a pile of branches waiting for me to get the carbureator back in place. Maybe tomorrow!
My porch decking is getting a bit precarious. It is past time to replace a few of these boards.
Luckily, I have a handful to use.
Some of the lumber has been moved off the roadway before it grows legs and walks off.
The pile is smaller, but the larger boards are the next ones to move!

It works! The repairs I did to the carbureator seem to have helped!
While moving the larger boards from the roadway, I made a new friend! Six to eight inches long!
And Big Red came by in the afternoon for a chat!

My neighbor asked for help with pouring a driveway to his parent’s house up on the hill. Fabulous view from up here.
Going to be a real challenge!
November 28, 2024 – Thanksgiving Day
Papaya for breakfast
Add a few guavas
and a bit of orange
Had a different bird stop by. A brown one. He sat for a short while on the cross bars of the handrail, them flew off.
Off to Kona in the afternoon. Alanah arrives from Arizona tonight – late! For the long holiday weekend.
