Day 126 was back to work for me, Sheldon took a vacation day and was off at 8:30 to UFA to exchange posts and get plywood for tub surround
pickup bale cash from Lorne then meet painter #2 Jeff for quote coming in at 2.40/sq
next he met Rod Stead, the drywall guy to discuss edges and progress.
Dwayne sent one of "his guys" to help us move the storage trailer to a spot near the house for ease of moving in in possible snow
Ed the dry waller was working on the main floor
Dustin set up camp in the garage to build cabinets, put on deadbolts to discourage thieves and plans to get busy tomorrow.
However his delivery guy made a boo boo.. or 3 on our garage floor
Enerspray were to come do the rafters but they cancelled last minute.
After lunch, Britt and I headed out with him after loading the dump trailer with more boxes and transferring to the storage trailer. Wait, she did not do the unload but rather the I'm going to meet Shelby on my horse even though any other day the 30 degrees would have made her say it was too hot to ride :-)
Off then to finish leveling the area to put in last posts. Whew, hot dry and dusty and not without a few glitches
Shelby kidnapping Britt after their ride - of not so much conditioning but rather walking and gabbing
the hoses were buggers to get on but finally it fit
then I hooked up the auger and set off
then I was demoted to laborer again
Sheldon trying to find rocks to balance them in the holes
looking not bad but need to fill around
now waiting for concrete mix and the rain to pour in and set them in this unstable area
then we dug up the broke post and reset in a new pole and screwed on the rails but by now it was 6 and we were both parched so back to the house to unhook trailer, unload truck, grab a beer and show Stouts the progress since they have been on vacation for two weeks. They also brought Britt back after her kidnapping.
Back in town we had a quick supper and showers. I did accounting and blogging while Sheldon did a bit of window care then he and Britt watched a movie until friends came to the door to take her for a walk.
they still say rain tomorrow, we can use it that is for sure but it will mean our stucco color will not be put on :-(
