Been busy to say the least and tween that and the home remodel I have not had time to do much of anything other than the chores at hand.

The tree is how we went to bed at night. Place left foot in Y, grab with left hand and lift, step over to roof with right foot, walk across to other roof, up and over the deck on top the house, then down a flight of stairs into the upstairs master bedroom, go to bed.

We have gray (washing machine) water going to and underground ditch, added a laundry sink for the wife and since we are still living out of the laundry room, a one burner hot plate, fridge is outside on the patio and she now used the laundry sink to do dishes etc. So my laundry water started seeping across our road.
