The weather has changed! And as occupants of a fifth wheel, there are a few more issues to think about when the storm’s a’brewin’. Time to lower the easy-up, pull in the awning and bring everything in that can’t get wet. Funny side story…I was packing and getting ready to head out on my ladies trip to the beach (yes, in the rain) when I stepped down the stairs from our bedroom into a large puddle of water. The living area was flooded. I heard the water pouring in between the wall behind the TV. The first thing I did, of course, was to call my husband and tell him to hurry home for emergency flooding situation. He advised me to put a tarp on the roof- which was very good thinking. I climbed up the ladder in the deluge of rain to cover the ceiling- so much for taking the time to style my hair. My husband then called back and said that I should turn off the water, because it might be a plumbing leak. Immediately after doing so, the water stopped. What are the odds that a pipe burst on the very day of the first rain storm? Anyway, thanks to my husband for fixing our plumbing as I drove away to a blissful weekend vacation.
Another thing that my husband accomplished this week was digging the fence post holes and setting all of the poles in cement before the rains came. My son helped with driving the auger and they had all the posts in place before the storm.
On the house progress, they have demolished most of the interior. It’s so interesting to see it all opened up. Revealing the ceiling joists, the old log siding, the hidden brick chimney- it’s like getting to see all the secrets the house has been holding.
