Saturday, January 29th., 2022…… HAPPY BIRTHDAY RANDY!! I texted him and he was at work so I’ll call
him later. I worked on both measurements for the pegboard and also got my
electrical outlets prepped for install in the shed. I will need some more electrical
boxes for that, especially for the outside which I want to make waterproof. I called Randy and we talked for a while. They
told me they are healthy and working hard. They will be coming up in the rv for
the wedding in April. Of course, they will – he will be my best man! Love those
guys!
Sunday, January 30th., 2022…… Today was a leisure day. Cathye skipped church this morning because she
had a sinus headache. I watched races, auctions, and football. I was happy to
see that The Bengals and The Rams are going to the Super Bowl! I’m not really a
Rams fan, but would like to see them win, and I like Joe Burrow, so I don’t
have a favorite for the game.
Tuesday, February 1st., 2022…… Aimee said that her other showing
didn’t produce an offer, but she found that there was another showing yesterday
so that may pan out. The offer that was
made included the furniture but she was not interested in the spa, so we will
need to make plans on getting that out of there soonest. That will work for us because
it is in excellent shape and will fit right in here when we get our patio deck
built! She asked Corey to go over tomorrow and move the flooring to get to the drain
and get that going. We stopped by and I checked out what it will take to remove
the fence so we can get it out. She showed me where to remove it and I prepped
for that. But we have to plan that for
another day because we had to leave to go get haircuts. Later, Aimee called and
said that she hadn’t received another offer, so we accepted the one we have. We
do not have to worry about too much now!
Only earnest money to be deposited, park approval for the new buyer, and
escrow to close. If all goes well, closing will be in 3 weeks or so. So, we went
out for dinner and then planned our exit strategy. Since the furniture stays,
we only have the jukebox, a curio cabinet, and the tv to move out. Of course, we
will also be taking the pictures, dishes, towels, etc., and will need to get
that going soon.
Wednesday, February 2nd., 2022…… After walking the dogs, Cathye needed to get going to SHEM. I headed over
to the local Aamco store to pick up my sister, who was dropping off her car for
service (oil leak). She treated me to breakfast at Shari’s because she was
borrowing the Honda for the day. I took the truck and headed over to the
trailer to meet up with Corey. He already had the floor removed and had the spa
draining. We removed the fencing and were ready when we have help. That is
scheduled for Friday. Then it was off to Ace Hardware to get the electrical
boxes and covers that I needed for our shed. I got those all connected and
installed. I had originally bought a sheet of pegboard to use in the shop but I
will use it out in the shed. I cut it to size and worked on cutting out for the
electrical boxes and getting everything installed. It looks good. Next up is a
light fixture. When Cathye got home, she worked a little on a quilt for her grandson, Felix. If you zoom in on it, you can see he likes tractors and
loaders!
After a nice dinner, we settled in and watched tv. Tonight, was The Amazing Race.
Thursday, February 3rd., 2022…… Weather is not too bad today! Temps in the high 40s. There is more rain coming, but it’s supposed to be light. We got the dogs walked and fed and then ate breakfast and then headed over to Albany. Before Christmas, I had looked at buying another deer rifle, this one in .243 caliber. Of course, there were none to be found and they put me on the wait list. I received an email yesterday that it was finally back in stock, so we headed over to Sportsman’s Warehouse to get it. I guess I was misinformed because they told me that the email only stated that it was in stock, but not necessarily in the store. They said I needed to order it online to be delivered to the store. Now, I got it! So, we headed back home emptyhanded. Cathye and Penny were going to address wedding invitations so we needed to get back for that. I ordered the rifle and now will have to wait for it. Despite my annoying interruptions (their words not mine!) the girls made quick work and they are ready to mail! I say quick work because it's a small wedding so they only had 15 to do. We did decide to have a reception at the house, and set the date for June 4th. All are invited! Later, we pulled out the flatbed trailer and hooked it up and loaded straps and a dolly for the spa. It is ready for tomorrow. We also snapped a picture of the pup's wedding announcement...
and a special gift from our friend Brenda Loomis, which went up on the wall....
Friday, February 4th., 2022…… We were up and out of the house early this morning. We took two vehicles. Cathye took the car to go to McDonalds and I headed over to get the trailer in position. Corey and Eric showed up and we ate and talked out the process. After disconnecting the electrical, we used plywood and set the dolly up on it and lifted (ok they lifted) and we got the spa strapped to the dolly and up and strapped down on the trailer.
The guys also went in and got the jukebox and loaded it up
as well. This is a unique piece! It is
like a stereo, with a lid. Here is an old picture of the inside with the lights
on....
Unloading the spa was a piece of cake, because we only needed to roll it
off the trailer and into the rv garage. They rolled the juke box to the garage
door and then lifted it in to the house. It is now (stored) in the guest room,
under the tv.
The guys left and we unhooked and stored the trailer and we were done for
the day. All before noon! Busy day!
