| Darlene set to 'crank it up' |
Darlene came up to visit and also make sure I was on track ;^) I assured her that all was moving forward. It was so good to see her smiling face and bottles of wine. It felt like normal for the first time in several weeks.
Our grading contractor brought his track hoe to the property so he'll be ready to start grading once the County signs off on the septic. Darlene is chomping at the bit to start grading. I am too.
I did stop by the County office this morning and it looks like tomorrow (Wednesday 9/7) is the day they will make their visit. They'll call me ahead so we can meet on site.
We spent the Labor Day weekend at RiverCamp USA along with a bunch of other folks. Now I know what a sardine feels like. We were wall to wall campers and tents. It started raining on the evening of the 4th and again on the 5th. The rain cleared the place out as everyone headed home. We packed up our gear and headed back to the New River State Park. It feels good to be 'almost home' again. The downside to the move was that Dar had to leave to head back to Raleigh...very sad to see her go BUT just before she departed, of all things, the truck wouldn't start. One of the rangers gave me a kick start. I said goodbye to Dar and headed to AutoZone for a battery check. Fortunately, it was the battery and not the alternator. It's funny what $100 can do to your mood not to mention starting the truck!
The rain started last evening (9/5) and came down in buckets all night long. Lots of wind and rain. They say we're in a flash flood warning for the area. I'm at the library now and it's still raining outside. My task is to get orders out for the windows and the SIPS today and I'll make that self imposed deadline.
Spent some good time at Lowes looking at roofing, doors and other stuff. Prices were very good. I'll check around for other prices to make sure.
I'll post again soon,
Z
