Tuesday, September 26th, 2017…...
The painters are still working on the rooms at
Penny’s place. We went over to see what
the girls were working on. It was kind
of chaotic with all of us running around the rooms working. There were as many as nine of us there at one
time! I got out of the way (sorta) and
put up the new wall switch covers and outlet covers. The girls worked on unpacking some of the
things they could put in the rooms that were painted but weren’t getting
carpet. We had the heavy buffet to move
in to her dining area but luckily there were young strapping men there to
help. It took three of us guys to get it
in and then out of the path. After a
while, Lydia and I left and Penny and Jody worked on the kitchen table base and
top and chairs and got those in and also brought in boxes for the buffet before
coming home. We decided to drive out to
Sweet Home and get soup and salad for dinner. We made a quick detour by the
lake and then stopped back at the house so they could move laundry from washer
to dryer. We then came home and watched the second DWTS. We think they have got the first two eliminations
right so far.
Wednesday, September 27th,
2017…... The girls left early to get coffee and
meet the carpet guys who were coming at 8:00am.
Lydia fixed omelets and we watched a Master Chef tape (we are getting
caught up and just have the finale left to watch). I went out and worked on my lumber pile (that
Walt left me) in the shop. I stacked it
up just outside in the potting shed.
Then I headed off to Walmart to get my money back for the second air bed. The first one wasn’t holding air (leaking at
the valve I think) so we bought another one with the idea that we would box up
the first one and use the current receipt for a refund. It didn’t work out - I took it back to the
return desk only to find out that they won’t take back bedding that’s been
opened – “Walmart policy”. I could go get another as an exchange. Ok, so I got another bright idea! Go get one
with a new receipt and then return that one for my refund. Ehhh – wrong answer! The customer service worker cut the tape and
even took scissors to the box lid! So, I
now have two queen size airbeds, one twin size airbed, plus the queen bed in
the guest room! We’re ready for a major
sleepover! Let’s have a party! I went by
a tire place to see if they could work on my trailer axle (nope) and then went
over to get my ladder from Penny’s. I
ended up there over 4 hours! I hung doors, put up towel racks and moved
furniture. But hey, she needed help and
I’m her bro! Anyway, I left with my ladder and headed home and rested a
bit. The girls came home a little after
that and we had BLTs for dinner. I
cleaned up and Penny and Jody started in packing up most of their stuff here
and took it over there since the beds were up and tv and internet is up and
running. It will be her last night with us and the first one in her new
house! We relaxed and watched taped tv
shows (we got the Master Chef finale watched – we liked the ending and who won)
and turned in early!
