The dull spectacle of me trying to figure out the kitchen sink’s plumbing. My iPhone is a handy remote eye, well suited for dark, tight spaces.

Progress. Nectarine is growing!

Never for want of space in California’s Central Valley. Those grapes will be waking up soon.
Hard to oppose California’s almond bloom! ❤️ Our apricot will bloom mid March and the cherry late March (but it’s nearly girdled by boring beetles).

Not cool. Whoever installed the kitchen sink didn’t use plumbers putty or silicone so now the under sink bracket is rusted out. Might be a plumber’s job to save my sanity.
Bees seem to never **rest** when manzanitas are blooming. I gave up trying to photograph them.
House Wiring is an Adventure
I finished installing some new switches today. Worst thing I found in the existing wiring that I could fix myself was paint coated copper under the wire nuts. Whoever did that must think wires work off of luck that the wire nuts cut into the copper or magic or induction. Pictured below are neutrals that were paint covered. And you wouldn’t be wrong to guess that the grounds were also covered in paint.
Use of ladders require good balance. I barely have that and dislike them immensely despite their great utility.
