Please note that I’ve changed the title since it’s no longer a trip!
Friday, July 28th, 2017….. We
got up at 0 dark hundred! We needed to
be on the road to Portland at 5:00am for Randy’s flight home. The drive only
took about an hour and a half and we didn’t see too much traffic, even in the
city at rush hour! We got him there in
plenty of time for check-in. He texted us later that he made it to San
Francisco and was waiting for the layover to fly to SNA. We made a few stops
(Harbor Freight, Kmart, and 2 Walmarts) on the way home. Once home, I got to
work assembling more storage cabinets for the master and for my office while
Lydia did some laundry. Then we both took a break and napped for a few hours to
catch up. I went back to opening boxes
and Lydia got the last of the kitchen boxes done as well as those from the old
family room. The two cabinets in the
garage are filling up quickly and my office is coming together as well! Lydia
made the bed for Penny when she gets here late Sunday (or early Mon.). We decided on chicken burritos for dinner
tonight so we got that out and defrosted. I usually work a bit, rest a bit,
work a bit, rest a bit, but today it was rest a bunch! We probably won’t sleep
tonight!
Saturday, July 29th, 2017….. Today
we hit it again. I decided we needed
some more storage shelving units in the garage.
We had already put in two large cabinets for overflow from the house
but we needed
some more shelving. We have a raised
area that has the crawlspace for the house and I could use that area for more storage.
We then decided we could buy the same cabinet that I used in the office. They were even on sale! We bought two more 5
shelf cabinets and I set out to put them together. After the one in the office, I got them
together pretty quickly. I put them in place and screwed them together. They will work well.
I messed
around with the workshop space a bit today.
I don’t even have the boxes unloaded and won’t do that until I figure
out a layout. I do want to have Directv
out in the shop so I have to figure out where that line will come in. I have
until Thursday when the guy comes to do the house lines. I also have a plumbing
issue. Walt set up a ½ bath in the
workshop, complete with hot water for cleanup and a line running outside with a
mixing valve for hot water for washing the car. Problem is the city zoning rules
don’t allow that room to be set up with hot running water - that is considered
now a “living space”. So, he was forced to remove the water heater. That leaves me with a water spigot outside
that has nothing running through it! I’m
trying to trace back to where I can at least get cold water there but I have
more work to do.
We stopped
for lunch (Lydia ate but I kept working) so I wanted an early dinner. She fixed hamburgers but wasn’t hungry so I
ate and we went out to the motorhome to catch up on our shared tv shows before she
called it a night. I stayed out there and watched some of my shows before going
to bed.
