Sunday, June 10th, 2018…… We
got up about our normal time this morning.
Rylee slept on a blanket on the floor on my side of the bed. When I got
up around 4:30am to pee, she wanted up but we all went right back to sleep! I
got up and going and took off to get breakfast. Today was just McDonald’s 2 for
$4.00 sandwich deal and coffee. I got Lydia a yogurt parfait and then went to
Starbucks to get her a Venti Chai Latte.
After she got dressed and got going, she worked on an upside-down cake
with triple berries in it. Meanwhile, I dusted the house and straightened up a
few rooms that were cluttered. Penny
brought John and Mariglee over and we had a nice visit. Then it was rest and
relax for the day. I had some shows
taped in the guest room so I watched those and Lydia watched her shows and
napped a bit. Of course, we both had to
entertain the monster puppy off and on between her meals and nap times. Did I
mention she’s grown a lot! She goes to the vet for her 4-month checkup and
final shots and I haven’t weighed her but I’m guessing she’s 35 lbs now. We’ll
see on Thursday.
Monday, June 11th, 2018…… Ok,
I weighed Rylee this morning. I was
close. She’s 34 lbs. What a pig! The concrete pour today was on! I waited until just before they were supposed
to arrive and then texted Dana to make sure before I started up and then moved
the motorhome out on the street so the cement trucks and pumper could get in
easier. This is round two of three separate pours. Today they did the 16’x48’ guest pad plus the
pad coming out of the east side pedestrian door. Pour number three will be the
approach ramp which will tie in the building and pad to the existing blacktop
driveway. I’m still debating whether to spend an estimated $2800 for yet a
third parking pad close to the house. That amount would be for concrete. Or I can
opt for an estimated $1200 to put compacted decomposed gravel there. I have another week to make up my mind but
I’m leaning toward the gravel. While the guys were pouring the slab, Tim and
Dana worked on sanding the drywall joints inside the garage that the tapers
left pretty rough. I was not happy! I don’t think this is Dana’s job. And I
think Tim is going to call him back out to fix some of the wrinkled joints. Now that I had the motorhome moved out, I could
cut the lawn in that area. So, I took the new mower out and found that it had a
low tire. I got my compressor out and
aired it up and cut that small area, which only took about five minutes. But I noticed an hour or so after parking it
back in the shop that the tire was down again, so I will have to pull it and find
and fix the leak. My sister came over later in the day to eat with us (she
actually went out and picked up and paid for dinner at KFC). She is staying the night so we can see how
best to work out sleeping arrangements for the two dogs. We’re both hoping that
her friend can come in from Bend to stay at her house with Quincy. Even if it’s only for a few days, that would
make it easier for Daisy to deal with the dogs. Speaking of the dogs, they are
not happy. The concrete needs a few days to cure before anyone can walk on it –
even dogs, so they are restricted from running the full backyard. We ended the
evening with Quincy cordoned off in our bedroom until bedtime when we brought
Rylee in kept her on the bed. We put up the gate in our doorway in case she
jumped off in search of Quincy.
End of day 43.....
