Many hands make for a light load....

Funny what four more hands and four more arms of muscle can do when it comes to moving a refrigerator. Tim and I just could not get the refrigerator past the landing last night. Tonight John and Tod come over and we move the refrigerator up the steps in about five minutes. We simply just picked it up and lifted it up the stairs… no “dolly” etc.. Piece of cake as they say. So, we are ready for stair work and ready to tile the kitchen. Oh boy. Just need to pick out the tile and away we go. Josh will be doing the stairs and Troy will fab the railings. This will get us a long way. A rough electric trim out is on tap and then the kitchen cabinets are ready to be installed.
Sunsets dominated the evening again. Deb and I just stared and kept telling one another how much we feel we made a very good decision buying the property over seven years ago. Its been quite a ride.
Front door to be installed within the next few days. It is at the house and looks great. Can’t wait for that one. Appropriately, Kevin will help install – kind of a ceremony so to speak since he has been with us since the onset of the adventure.
By the way, the little freezer in the barn is doing great keeping our food frozen. And, no mice in any of the traps. My guess is that one damn rogue mouse got in when I had front doors open to take out dishwasher. He (little bastard)/she (little bitch) messed with the sheets just to screw with us, and then high tailed it out? Or, the bait on the trap, which was “hoisin sauce” is not the bait of choice. Maybe mice don’t like Asian/Thai food. I’ll try the old standard peanut butter next just to make sure. This theory would mean he/she and maybe some buddies are still in the barn…. Don’t worry, as our former president said…. “we’ll smoke em’ out….” lol.
