Sod Done

Today started out at 6am with the clock going off, scheduled to work the mall 7-3 but got off early to lay sod, how exciting. The sod was delivered by Mitchell at 8:30 which is when I came home. Bridget and I had the two pallets of sod down by 12:30 and the sprinkler running. Plan was to grill this evening but the burners on my grill have bit the dust so I used our cast iron griddle/grill on the stove top. Burgers and steaks, we ate the burgers tonight and will have the steaks tomorrow.

Backyard Project

After yesterday's post we got busy at the FD, The Article was published in the local paper. Worked the mall today, when I got home John Mitchell had finished the backyard work and it is ready for sod which he will deliver in the morning. I spent this afternoon washing off the driveway.

Quiet FD Day

Slow quiet Sunday, I did an employee evaluation, waiting for training info to complete it. I will be glad when the high temps are gone for a while.

OOOPS

After getting home I hooked the truck up to the trailer to haul it out to Jenksy's so Mitchell can get in Monday to start the backyard makeover. When I was unhooking the trailer I saw that the trailer hit and bent the side rail of the truck bed, still have not figured out how that happened nor do I know when it happened. Made a trip to the drug store and the chiropractor then off to the mall working 3-11.

Still Hot

After breakfast at 8:00 I got ready to go to the FD to work 9-1:30 so Kipp could go to a funeral. When I got home Bridget was cleaning out the closet in one of the bedrooms. I called YJ (FD) to see if he was still coming by to look at some sheet rock repair work. He will be here Tuesday to start the work. I am having to water the yard as it is dry as a bone, temps have been in the low 100's. Normal mid 90's will be back next week.

Getting The House Ready

The link in yesterdays post now works thanks to Al. He emailed me directions, after working with it a few minutes I got it figured out. Today was hot, yesterday and today reached 100 degrees, cool front coming through, Fridays high is only 96. Got home from FD and started trimming tree limbs in the front yard (Realtor suggested) and hauling them to the street for pick up. Made a trip to Lowes to pick up some electrical supplies, I am moving the trailer plug closer to the trailer. Also I have a Koi pond in the back yard that I am having removed and the backyard graded so I can lay sod (Realtor suggested). I will take the trailer to Jenksy's Friday, John Mitchell (FD) will be coming over Monday for the above backyard work. He will haul in dirt for the backyard and crushed rock around the trailer site. In the backyard all I will have left is the tree limb trimming, hope to get that done Friday or Saturday. Front yard I just have to cut back the shrubs and it will be done. Inside painting starts July 10th and after that it will go on the market.

Back At The FD

A link to the pictures I took while on vacation. I don't have allot of pictures mainly due to forgetting the camera or rain. Back on the job at the FD. Did some catching up on paperwork, this stuff just piles up when your away. Quiet so far and hopefully will stay that way.

I think I have it! Click the link and then on the slideshow. Thanks Al!!

Happy Fathers Day

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there.

I got up at 8:30, Bridget was up at 7. Bridget made eggs sandwiches for breakfast and she got the trailer road ready on the inside and I got the outside ready. We were on the road by 11. Stop for fuel and lunch. Bridget makes sandwiches before we leave and puts them in the refrigerator which shortens our stop time. Got home and unloaded the trailer and she took me out for a fathers day dinner at PF Chang's. We have leftovers for lunch.
