Things here have been moving along. In the house this week we worked on the electrical wiring. Well, Larry did most of the work, I was some help. He pulled wires out of the main in order to put in new. Two new ground rods were put in and wired. It was a chore. In cleaning around the outside of the house, throughout the weeks, we found around 10 ground rods. None of which were wired properly. Larry pulled all the copper wire that was going to various ground rods and luckily there was one long enough to reuse. So now we have two new ground rods with reused wire that was wired Safely! :) Larry also put in the new RV circuit. It's up and running, ready for visitors. :) He says it took him a day but it only took an afternoon. It was hard work though. That wire is thick and hard to get it to go where you want it too. He also started wiring the can lights and ceiling fan in the living room. He spent a day at tearing out flooring and sub-flooring in what was a bathroom. It was totally rotten. The blessing in that was it made it easier to get to the crawlspace to wire the ground rods.
This weeks wildlife....
I had Larry hang a hummingbird feeder for me in a tree. The feeder was hanging on the house and I cleaned it up and filled it. Hoping we would see some hummers. So far we have seen two and I'm shocked that two little birds can drink a feeder dry in two days!!
One night while eating dinner we were entertained with the quail strolling by eating their dinner.
On Monday and Tuesday we cleaned around the outside of the house and loaded the truck up for Wednesday. Wednesday is dump day around here. As we were clearing the piles we came across huge worms! The pictures don't do them justice. If I had more time I would sell them to fisherman.
Also we had a dishwasher to get rid of and the dump wouldn't take it as an appliance. So Larry took the motor off and put it in the metal pile and proceeded to use his saws-all to cut it into pieces. He was having just a little too much fun. :)
I never thought I would say I love a tractor, but I Love our tractor!! We used it alot when we were building our house in WA but I didn't think we would here. I was wrong. She is a working horse!!
This Azalea went into full bloom this week. It's a little scraggly but a pretty color.
Wednesday afternoon we were gone and got back around 7pm. I wanted to see if I could record Noah acting all happy to see Larry. They have their routine everyday but sometimes Noah is soooo cute with his excitement, he talks and runs full boar to the barn. Larry went to the barn to get the feed and I stood outside so I could record. Before Larry could call him Noah came running and talking. And when he came to me he did this circle dance. It was so cute! I wanted to upload the video but I can't figure out what the issue is. When I figure it out I will post it. :)
Today was the annual FFA plant sale. And yes we bought plants. Several tomato varieties, peppers, broccoli, cabbage, basil, chives and cilantro. It was great to get out in the community and it was a perfect day for it. The sun was out and not a cloud in the sky. On our way home we stopped by the local restaurant and bought two cinnamon rolls. A perfect ending to the week. :)
Thanks for stopping by and seeing what we're up to.
Larry and Shannon
