We worked on the trenches for the propane installation, and tried to keep rain from filling them up.. Pumped out the water that accumulated with a boat pump borrowed from a neighbor. Enough of this rain already!!!
June 2, Frank from Amerigas came and hooked up the propane .... under sunny skies, I might add.
June 5, Jay and Jeff from Skyline Homes showed up to work on the inside of the house. They were thrilled that the weather was warm and NOT RAINING!!
June 8
I headed down below to my dear neice's graduation. Got to spend time with Shanna, Betty and Stan, and Jennie and Branch. It was a really great time. The weather was warm and dry.
I had a chance to visit with my old work friends, and helped celebrate Heather's 50th birthday..... yay Heather.
Meanwhile.............. back at the ranch....
June 8, the guys finished inside. The joining work at the marriage line (plastering, etc.) hung vertical blinds in the dining room, and set the door on the guest bath/shower.
June 11, the outside guys, Steve and Brandon, showed up again, and finished up their work around the foundation and painted the outside marriage line... which really looked crappy cause they didn't wash it first.
On that day finally, we got steps.... temporary steps. But steps none the less, at the front door.
Since May when the house was delivered, we have had to shimmy ourselves in thru the back door and/or use our little step stool on a board to get in.
(Note our little step stool in the lower left.)
This is Jay and Jeff taking out the faulty water heater.
June 13, three carpeting guys called from Quigley's. They couldn't find the house. Probably got directions from the same person as all the contractors. All of them got lost. And since we have no cell service on our highway, they always have to stop and ask someone in the neighborhood.
June 15, Jay came with the new water heater and gave us our orientation.
June 20, Bill came from Clayton to detail the house. "... to clean it up and make it sparkle ...." . He worked outside side to clean up the messy paint job with his pressure washer. He washed the floors and some of the windows.
June 27, Then came "moving out of our storage unit." We rented a U-Haul so we could do it in one day.
Pete helped empty the unit and Rita was at our house when we got back and she helped unload the truck.. Thank You Thank You to you both. So great to have such thoughtful friends.
Finally empty.
Got the mirror affixed and hung the Last Supper....
And the Dinning Room is done!
and that was June.
more to come
