Forgot to report on the house: total discouragement right now. Went ahead and put away a lot of hobby stuff I had been working on in office and living room, so I can clean and do legal and financial paperwork and stuff that is more demanding. Yesterday I did unpack and purge 3 more boxes of stuff, rearranged some utility shelves, trying to clear more space to maneuver in the office. Next focus will have to be clearing more room in the workshop so i can build a better trapdoor to the attic.   

Of course the A/C failed just as I was getting somewhere yesterday, because I had the nerve to run 3 minisplits at once. Tried throwing breakers and just running one, but no go. I guess the roof unit overheated or whatever. Did get one running in the late evening. I guess I will run one at a time.
