Thursday, February 8th, 2018…...
This morning I had doggie duty. My sister had a chemo treatment and brought
Quince over early. Penny headed out and
Quincy and I finished her walk and brought her in and fed her breakfast. Then I took off to get my breakfast. Shortly after I returned, the McCravens
arrived here and got to work on the pad. Before the end of the day, they got
everything done up to the point of calling in for the inspection ok to pour the
concrete. I’m told the inspector is due
out here sometime tomorrow morning. Of course, we’re dealing in ‘Oregon time’
so we’ll see. Lydia did another round of weeding although
she has run into an area that was apparently missed by the weedkiller sprayed
last year so she didn’t make too much progress. Meanwhile I took Quincy out to
the back of the property and spent some time re-staking a post so I could tie
back the large leaf maple tree that Walt had planted there two years ago. He staked it because it was leaning and then
the last wind we had broke the string.
So I roped it and it’s good to go now.
End of Day 9……
Friday, February 9th, 2018…… Today
there was no action on the job site. The
inspector came about 3:00pm and signed off on everything with no issues. Tim & Dana got here just before he did so
they just did a little cleanup and we talked for a while until the guy pulled
up. After he was done, they left to get more supplies for the next phase after
concrete. They said we are on the
schedule but they don’t have an exact date due to the fact that when the
weather is nice the concrete companies are working on the backed-up jobs in
order. Sometime next week is when they
are expecting them to show up. Meanwhile, we spent the day working around the
house. I put some more robe hooks up in
the master closet and then picked up a bit in the motorhome. We also did a
final sort of all of the items we had put aside for donation to Goodwill. My sister came by and took a few items before
we loaded them in the truck and I dropped them off. Later, she came back with her
good friends from SoCal - Diane, Merrilyn, and Danette - who came up to visit for
a few days. We gave them a tour and visited for awhile before they left to go back
to Penny’s home and get some rest from their trip. We went out and picked up some fast food and came back and watched the opening Olympic ceremonies and settled in for the evening.
End of Day 10.....
