Another blistering hot day in the Kootenays, indeed all of southern BC. Temperatures well into the 30s and not a cloud in the sky. I got my outside work done early, had a momentary lapse of sanity and rode my bike into town and I'm now back in the basement, keeping cool.
The shed now has a roof. I finished that on Sunday, added the ramp this morning and now there's just shingles, a door, a woodshed on the left side and some siding. All projects for August or September.
One of our interior BC realities, at least where we are, is lots of water (in the lake) but somewhat restricted water pumping capabilities. The little neighbourhood where we live owns and operates its own water system: we pump water from the lake, then filter and chlorinate it. Trouble is during such hot weather the system has a bit of trouble keeping up with the demand. We've gone to drip irrigation in our garden because it really saves water. That and a little computer that controls when things are watered (ie: 4 am before the sun gets up). No signs of any rain or cooler weather on the horizon (or out in the Pacific).
