Trip Log

August 16, 2013

Last night we visited Jeff and family and I drove my motorcycle home. Now to figure the best way to secure it in the moving trailer. Again, it was hard to realize that it may be the last time we will visit their homes as Pa.

August 15, 2013

Last night we went to dinner at the Birchrunville Café with a close friend from Pep Boys days, Steve Nicolay and his wife Michelle. We had a great time and a wonderful meal. We recently reconnected with Steve and now wish we had done it a lot earlier.

August 13, 2013

The lanai is now screened in. We went over to Mike's to drop off some more stuff and for dinner and had a very nice time. It's hard to know that after next week they will not be so close.

August 11, 2013

We did continue to pack and prepare for the move but at a 'Sunday' pace which included a lot of watching the PGA championship. We also took a long walk to stretch our legs and get some exercise and walked around the neighborhood to check the progress on the 'burned' house.

August 10, 2013

They have installed all of the plumbing and most of the electrical, both inside and out. Not many problems so far; they made the glass blocks wall too high in the shower, a crack in the hot water heater pan and a broken piece of molding on the front door.

August 8, 2013

Today they were installing our medium hickory cabinets, countertops, guest shower tile, master shower glass blocks (they put in one row too many), master shower floor tile, A/C, shutters, garage door and opener. Last night we went to Schwed's for our weekly dominoes and dinner.

August 6, 2013

The concrete has been poured; driveway, sidewalk, front porch, lanai and back stoop. They also installed the glass in the front door and sidelite.

August 3, 2013

We got pictures of the painted house and the tiled floors so we felt we had better order the remaining appliances. So, that's just what we did and they will be delivered the day after we close on 9/4. We got a 31 cu. ft.

August 2, 2013

The whole inside of the house is painted and the floors are ready for tile and carpet. The forms are down for the driveway, the lanai/patio, the front porch and sidewalk. Picked up the truck today after spending a grand to fix the turbo and have it checked to be ready for the trip south.

August 1, 2013

Today is Jeff's 40th birthday so we stopped down to help celebrate. Our baby is 40. Carol also sent us pictures of stucco on the house. The township inspected and approved the hot tub rewiring so there is nothing left to be done on this house before the closing except for packing.
