2017….. Today was
another hot workday! Expected temps in
the high 90’s today so I ate a quick breakfast and took off to Falcon
Crest! We want to remove all of the
carpet and padding in her three bedrooms (rest is tile/laminate flooring). We
got the carpet up with minimum issues and took it outside to cut into three ft.
pieces, rolled and taped for pickup. I thought there would be tons of staples
on the padding but it was only around the edges. We cut those up in three
footers as well. While we were working
the carpet guy called. He may be able to
get over to the house to pick up the rolls.
Or we may end up taking it to him.
He also told us to use the roof tile remover I have to scrape the
staples. What a great idea! Instead of pulling them by hand this was much
easier. All of this is saving her on the
final carpet price so it’s worth it. Meanwhile, at the house, Lydia watered (we
still have some sprinklers and drip lines that need work so we need to do it
manually until we can get the irrigation guys m back over for round two). She
sprayed the porch and wiped cobwebs off the windows so we can put a few screens
up. Back at Penny’s, I worked on a few more projects (including installing the
electrical covers on the outside and removing the speaker mounts) and then I
called it a day. She stayed to sweep and
vacuum before she called it as well.
Lydia warmed up salmon and potatoes for dinner and we kicked back for the
rest of the evening.
Sunday, September 3rd, 2017…..
We decided to head over to the Elks Lodge in Sweet
Home for breakfast. It’s only $7. ea and
you get all you can eat cook to order eggs, pancakes, sausage, ham, biscuits,
gravy, coffee, and orange juice and it’s all you can eat. Penny stayed home and
caught up on her finances. She’s in sticker shock with all the little things to
buy and services to pay for even before she moves in! We got back and what did
we do – head out to spend more money! But
as we were leaving Lydia spotted an old friend on our front porch I needed to
take a picture of. He likes to hang out
on the front door!
