The right tool for the job, baby!

I know. I know.

I've said this a thousand times before, but the right tool for the job makes it so much easier!

The guys from the Solar company trenched our power line this past week and it was impressive to watch their tool dig the hole.

We actually managed to do it on the only day this year where the ground was frozen, so they made very little mess while they were doing it.

There was a tense moment or two when they were trenching over our Central Boiler lines, but no water spurted out and we still have heat so it seems that everything went well.

We have to hook up the power to the meter (and the road) and assemble the panels on the support structure and then we have to get contracts and inspections and approvals. Whew.

We're hoping to have a bunch more news by this time next week.

In other news I've managed to put together a Walking Desk. Steelcase sells a desk that has a treadmill built into it for just over $5000. I built mine for $217 including tax. Ha!

I've been using it for two days now and have about 12km put in. I weighed about 90kg when I started this and I'm hoping to drop half a kilo a week until I've reached about 80kg. Then I get to eat more.

Maybe I'll join you and have a plate of Sherry's Big Country Breakfast the next time you're here. I know it's Bound to Please!
