I'm really happy that we finally have someone here to do all these jobs around the house and that we are lined up to get a generator installed, but it sure does create a lot of little chores for us. We've got a meeting with the generator installer and the gas installer this morning to, hopefully, get a project plan together. Things almost went off rail last week due to a lack of communication. I can't handle projects without plans so I got things reigned in pretty quickly and put a stop to any work until we could all meet and agree on the schedule and details. It's a little hassle now but it will save a lot of hassle later. But I did get in some sewing time and got half of the arcs sewn for the small Summer Sunset Star. Only 8 more. It took me a couple of tries but I finally figured out the trick for that tight inside circle. In the evenings I'm making progress on the gingham blanket. I'm over halfway through with the body of the blanket and then it will have a border. I like how it looks and I like doing it. There will be more of these in my future.
We have a big house generator that powers most of the house, and it is a really valuable thing around here. Being rural, when snow or bad weather takes down power lines, we can be without power for 4-5 days. And we have a well, so no power means no water either. If you have times like that, you'll be really happy if you ever need it.

I think a generator is a great idea for anyone who lives in a rural area. I certainly wish I had one.

That generator will bring a lot of peace of mind once it is installed. Since I am a city dweller, the only time I lost electricity except for an occasional blip once in a great while, was way back in August 2003 when the big east coast blackout happened. Glory it was hot, but I still had water. The star wedges are looking good and that gingham blanket is so pretty! Comments are closed.
