Thank God for kids when they get big enough to really help you out. I would have had to pay some bucks to get this fixed if it weren't for Rocco Edward Giardullo Bugno, BTW he just turned 17 last week. Soon to be off the payroll. YEA. EMPTY NEST!

Busy weekend so far. Mowed the lawn and tried to drop dead panting and huffing from being so horribly our of shape. At one point I was hugging a tree to hold my self upright with sweat dripping off me by the buckets. But damn that lawn looks nice. I don't think I mentioned about the first thaw in spring causing the underground feed of electricity being sheared to the garage. Well let me tell you that I have been dreading that fix. Seems It was a lot easier than I thought. Anyway the feed is under the driveway in no FREAKING conduit, the jerks! So I remembered that I had a diamond saw blade and It went so easy I can't tell you. I think I am going to take some pictures. Rocco, my son, did all the cutting and dirt work cause I can't do that kind of stuff after I fell and got boo boo's last year.

He cut the trench and then we went to Home Depot to purchase the needs. Some PVC conduit and 10-2 UF wire. And of course all the crap one needs to complete the job. You know maybe I should run some phone wire too? HMM. It really went in like a charm.

Rocco had to go to a birthday party so we closed up shop early and did not complete the work today. I.E. Saturday. I myself could not stand one more minute of this without electric in the garage so I just hooked the ends up! Now my sweet wife just pushed the button and the garage opens! How much you miss electricity when you ain't got it. For the last month and half we had to open and close the garage manually. Yech.

Matt considers himself a Renaissance man, I can do just about any job that I need. Now gimme a beer and I need a nap.
