Anyone using windows dev drives see that it is reporting more usage than files on the actual drive? This morning my drive was reported FULL, I deleted 4-5 GB of old repos but magically over 30GB was freed! Still according the windows there is ~2.2GB of data I cannot find?!?

Working on building some custom shelves now... Going to do 3 shelves and stain them to match rest of the wood trim, hopefully.

Next project, redoing the laundry room. Ripped off the old cabinet, going to patch up the holes, slap on some nice "antique white" paint and put up some new open wall to wall shelves with more storage room.

Pulling another late night refactoring a bunch of code so we can properly unit test a bunch of code making use of RestSharp. Needed to clean up a bunch of code so we could pass in a HttpClient via DI so our tests could use MockHttp library to fake out 3rd party API calls.
