Building your own house – Step 45,679… bring refrigerator in house.

Another Monday under the bridge. Worked, went to see my Mom, stopped at two stores and came home. Had dinner with Deb – broccoli and chicken….again…. Our neighbor Tim offers to help us move our refrigerator out of the barn and in to the house. It is time. Stairs will be worked on soon and need to get appliances up there so we don’t scuff up the new wood etc….
Here is how the night went….
Raining.
Deb and I clean out refrigerator to make it lighter. Lots of frozen meat too.
Don notices something on our bed in the barn. You know, the bed we have waited 9 months to sleep in again.
Find out mice got in barn for the first time in 18 months – must have gotten in when Don moved the dishwasher out of the garage last Sunday.
Mouse/mice chew through our good sheets and make a hole the size of an orange.
Mice piss on fitted sheet and mattress pad.
We strip bed and take sheets to house to do laundry.
Tim arrives and we get refrigerator on truck and take down to garage.
Door to upstairs too narrow for refrigerator.
Take refrigerator back up to trail.
Roll refrigerator all along our stone path to front door.
Now we are all wet but in the house.
Get the refrigerator up seven stairs but can’t make the turn to go the final seven stairs.
Decide to call it a night and try to get more help tomorrow.
Go back to barn and get frozen food.
Take to apartment but it does not fit in our refrigerator.
Take back to barn and “un-bury” our little freezer.
Ooops, appears we forgot to take out our “popsicles and fruit pops.”
Freezer smells wonderful…. But not horrible.
Put popsicles out behind barn in the rain and hope mice try to eat it …. And gag.
Put frozen food in freezer and hope freezer still works.
Will check in morning.
Get back to apt.
Deb asks Don “why doesn’t anything we do ever go easy?”
Don says “why should things change now?”
Deb nods.
Deb and Don kiss and hug and Deb goes to bed while Don writes this post.
Step 45,680 begins tomorrow morning with meeting at house with propane man who needs to complete the job he started in February……
Sorry, no photos of this adventure....
