Ordered Solar Pump of deep well and paid in cash saving 3% ($225.00) by paying cash.
Hubby went to pick up Son2's cabinet that F had finished and found out our grandfather clock was finished. So I finished moving wardrobes over to the other side of the room for now to put the clock where it was going to stay. F came with Hubby to unload it and set the time including having it go silent during the night and winding it etc. He also picked some asparagus ( almost done with it). We also made the final payment for the clock.
F also helped Hubby load Son2's cabinet into the back of our truck.
Next day we took cabinet to Son2's, spent time with him, his lady and her daughter and Son2 bought us lunch at a local restaurant and then gave us a gift certificate for our local Chinese restaurant.
On the way home we did some errands and then ate leftovers for supper.
Sunday, I updated the "down grid spreadsheet." Since we spent less than we budgeted for the solar pump, I moved it over to the odds and ends needed for the wood stove like chimney thermometer, ash bucket, companion set that has shovel, brush etc. through Amazon. Used my cash back points, a discount and a coupon saving 50% of that costs.
Any amount that is not used gets moved to what still needs to be paid for.
I caught up the laundry and used the clothes line.
I worked on #1 deep freezer in the basement. It's not in as bad as shape as I thought it would be. Vacuum packed food is in good shape, freezer bag stuff has a lot of ice crystals :(
I will work on organizing it better and having it inventoried by end of the month and a good defrosting/cleaning. Only 2 more to go after that one.
We used the gift certificate at the Chinese restaurant and got enough for 4 meals. SO no cooking next 2 days.
Monday I have a medical appt that is 2 hrs. away, we will drop off stuff to Daughter 4, and two of the grandsons. I need to call water softener company to deliver softener salt.
Tuesday we have chiro( we have a credit at Chiro so that is a free) plus drop off to 2 places of donations, and Menards as I need a food grade bucket with Gamma lid. We will use rebate for that cost.
I will be redoing the finances to stay on task to pay for wood stove, chimney and propane come August.
Blessed Be
Stay safe
Pray for peace

It is a beautiful clock!
ReplyDeleteYour clock is beautiful. I did not know these clocks could be set to not sound at night! That I can handle.
ReplyDeleteThat grandfather clock looks splendid, worth every penny IMHO. J.P. in the UK.
ReplyDeleteYes, beautiful clock. I was wondering about your wood stove when you install it. Will you have to do something to the wall behind it to protect it from the heat?
ReplyDeleteif we keep it out 18 inches from wall... nothing needs done. If we get the restrictor plate we can put it within 12 inches of the wall. We are thinking of buying a fireboard for the wall that looks like brick just for image.
DeleteThe brick fireboard sounds very attractive. Be sure to give us pictures.
DeleteThe clock is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat savings on the solar pump and stove!
ReplyDeleteLove the clock!
