Saturday, May 19th, 2018…… We did get some good sleep last
night. I got up and let super pooper out
and then just stayed up with her so we could play. We’ve got an easy routine going – I stay with
her until Lydia gets up, then she can play with her and feed her while I
shower. Then we reverse roles so she can
shower and get ready for the day. I went out and checked out the final work
completed because when we left yesterday, everyone was still on site working
away. I found that the back siding is
half finished, and the electrical is in and there is power running to one
circuit in the rv garage. They roughed
in everything but finished up one electrical circuit with a plate so they will
have power for tools and such. They will
call for and get the rough inspection approved before they can proceed to insulate
and close in with drywall all of the inside. The front and back outside still
needs finished siding and those nails sealed and then the trim around the
windows plus the corner trim needs to be installed. Then it will be ready for
paint. While I was out with the puppy, Tim and Dana showed up to do some
Saturday work. Tim wanted to finish up
the siding so they worked on that. Meanwhile, I got the tractor back out and
finished up the grass pickup. I am very
pleased about how good it looks without all of the clumps of grass laying out
there! I do have to figure out an easy way to dump the clippings. Right now, I take them out to the dirt pile
they made with they excavated for the garage.
It’s quite a drive just to get out there. Lydia came out to help so I
started dumping the loads close to our big trash container and she is just
transferring it in there. I think this will work in the future and make for an
easy job. I was able to get the all of the grass picked up and the catcher
cleaned up so Tim could take it if he wanted to.
Later, we were
invited to my sister’s house for a bbq so we loaded up monster puppy and went
over. It was a nice evening although
Quincy felt like the little white turd had invaded her house! But as time went
by, she ended up spending time with her outside and actually got semi
comfortable with being around her. I
think Rylee sensed that if she is less aggressive, then Quincy would calm down.
They ended up playing a little bit and had a good time until Quincy retreated
to her bed. Be relaxed now old girl, because it won’t be long before that little
turd will be able to get up on that bed! I also got a chance to look at and
adjust her sprinkler system and set the zones and timers to her specs. We
headed home and spent the evening relaxing and planning our Sunday before going
to bed.
Beginning of day 33....
End of day 33....
Sunday, May 20th, 2018…… The plans for Sunday were actually no
plans. So, we spent some time sleeping
in, if you can call 6:00am sleeping in, then got up and going for the day. Rylee is still gated in the guest bathroom
until she gets us up. She goes potty, then wants up on our bed. I’m ok with the
schedule but Lydia likes to sleep late, so I end up taking her out to play in
the living room. She gets fed and then I
can start to get ready for the day while Lydia watches/plays with her. I spent some time walking the jobsite. I wrote a note for the electricians to ask
them about how they’ve wired the rv circuits.
I want to double check the volts going to those plugs. They need to be 110v. I learned this the hard way – in Long Beach,
my electrician wired the circuit like he would for a dryer – 240v, which
damaged some of the components in the rig (one of which was a toasted microwave!).
They won’t be back for awhile until final to hook up everything so I needed a
note. I always take Rylee out with me to the work area. It gives her a chance to get used to the area
and she always stays close. Of course, everything there is up for grabs! She picks up every scrap piece of wood that
she thinks is hers to chew. So, I have
to pry stuff away from her every time.
But, we’ve set out the three boxes of Bailey’s toys from the shop
storage so she always wants to go in to that area and pull out something new. The
rest of the day was spent watching tv and relaxing.
