    Seven more yards of fine dark bark. This is on top of previous 5 yards of dark bark and 3 yards of garden soil. My thyme hill is behind the bark pile.

    Weight reduction, mostly rust.
    A ton of crawling in the atic space and at least 10 times up the roof and I accomplished this yesterday.
    Just finished tapping into a line for a box in the attic (and adding a light on a switch up there with outlet as well) for the StarLink transformer, so glad I did it, it made the hardware in the house nice and clean. I had to fab up a 20" extension out of 1" conduit for the receiver, because snow...
    The standard wall mount had it only 4" off the surface of the roof. No bueno

    Starting to forget what day it is since I retired (sort of joking) so I just got this for the shop/command center.

    EDIT: I should say, the Barndo was built with 12' walls and then lidded out in 5/8 fire rated, the entire ceiling. Then they build the living space in that, so the "Attic" space the transformer is in isn't exposed to the elements like in a regular attic. So I have no worries about temp fluctuations etc...

    No real pics....but we upgraded a ceiling fan in the living room to a bigger one to match the room size. Moved that one to our office that used to be a formal dining room(transitioning that now with an office desk being built). Moved that light fixture to our dining area. Took the old fixture down to give away. All went well with no shock (except me being shocked it all worked right the first time for each). I'm most excited about the ceiling fan moving more air. I think having a bigger drop rod and larger fan diameter is pushing more air more efficiently
