Knowing
that Kathy was still tired yesterday from the nights of little rest I managed
to get all my morning Computer reading
finished before she started to stir. Even though it was later then we normally
have breakfast we made certain that we had cereal to build our energy levels
that we would be burning off later.
While
Kathy emptied the Dishwasher for
Karen and put the Dishes away I went
downstairs to start making Phone Calls.
The first to Verizon that took less then Four-Minutes to pay this month’s fee. The next was to the Windsor Eye Institute to schedule Kathy’s Cataract Surgery. We both need it done but since there are still
things to do on the Trailer when we
get it back I’ll be getting mine later in the summer.
The
final call was to J.T. at Leisure Trailers to get a status update on the Trailer. His contact at Jayco had been away but had left the Progress Report with his secretary that things were looking good
and we could be seeing the Trailer
on Friday the 18th. Then
he said we could use it for the Long Weekend.
Doesn’t he know how long it takes to load a Trailer let alone organize it?
Time
seemed to be flying faster then we had expected but we still headed straight
out to Wildwood Golf and RV Park in McGregor to get more accomplished before
we have the Trailer there and we are
glad we did.
The other
day when we left our Neighbour who
only showed up Three Times the
entire Season last year was out opening
and cleaning their Trailer. Due to
changes in the Local Fire Codes their Fire Pit and
anyone else’s that was located at the back of their sites were removed this
past winter. Our neighbour had a Stainless
Drum and the Circular Fire Bricks
to go around the Drum so it was
stacked on their Patio. When we
arrived today they had set the Fire Pit
up on the grass between their Patio and
our Driveway which meant it would be
less then Four Feet from our Trailer. Since they were not there
today, I restacked everything on their Patio
and when I saw Joe one of the Park
Owners stopped across the street I told him about it. Unless they remove a Flower Bed they won’t be having any Fire Pit.

| The brown grass in our driveway was very green before Kathy sprayed it. |
Even
with 68 F (20 C) with the cloudy skies and Northerly Breeze it was far from hot. The next thing I did was to
set up our One Gallon Garden Sprayer
for Kathy to use for killing the grass in our Driveway. She found a recipe On-Line
that does not harm Animals, Humans or the Environment. It’s Biodegradable
and cheaper then Chemically made
Herbicides. It is One Gallon of
White Vinegar with One Cup of Dawn
Lemon Dish Soap. Just be certain that if it is windy that it doesn’t get on
Plants or Grass you plan on keeping because we could see the results in less
than an Hour.

Once
I had installed and tightened the last of the Concrete Sleeve Anchors to the Gazebo
I turned my attention to the end of our Driveway.
At some point in time someone had installed Flagstone with Six Inches
of space between the Stones. With
time the filler between became home to all kinds of weeds and moss. We had also
recovered more Flagstone that had
just been placed throughout our Driveway.
After lifting all the Stones, tamping
and releveling the area for the next Four
Hours we reconfigured the Stones
like a Jigsaw Puzzle. There’s more
to do but we’ll install the Pea Stone
and Polymer Sand tomorrow. We left
the Park at 7:00.
We were
both hungry and it’s not often Kathy asks for Pizza to eat but when she suggested a Thin Crust Tuscan Pizza I headed straight to Boston Pizza on Manning Road. The parking lot was full but we had no
problem getting in. The Thin Crust
helps keep the Carbs down and we don’t
feel stuffed just satisfied.
We
talked with Karen out on the Deck
for a short while when we got back to her place. It was an Extra Strength Tylenol night for Kathy before she went to bed. We
have appointments tomorrow and the Weather will be not be changing in our
favour. Thanks for following along, feel free to leave a
comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

Ask a silly question:
Do Cemetery
Workers prefer the Graveyard Shift?
Hopefully, the neighbours were thinking it was a temporary spot for the firepit. That's ridiculous, glad they have to move it.
ReplyDeleteI don't care for flagstone or patio stones of any kind because unless you put the screening down, weeds always find a way. We had it at our house and it gave me multiple hours of frustration trying to keep up with it. Good luck! Nice that Jayco is meeting their deadline, whether you can use it early or not, at least you'll have it.
Hope the trailer is delivered as promised. I would really give it a workout to make sure everything is to your satisfaction.
ReplyDeletePolymer sand? Sounds like something I could use on the flagstone at my Arizona place. Can't wait to see how you do it.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think all fire pits should be banned. People don't seem to care if they are a fire hazard to someone else's rig, nor do they care about the smoke going in everyone windows!! Keeping my fingers crossed for Jayco.
I don't like fire pits (unless they are propane) and then not on my lot if it isn't mine. I'm really not a campfire person and I do not like the smoke. Hope they do away with it. Good luck on Kathy's eyes. Jim is doing really good with his cataract surgery. Got the second eye done this week and it is getting less blurry every day. Seems strange to see him without glasses.
ReplyDeleteWow, lots of work on the patio. Your back will be complaining!
ReplyDeleteHow is your Verizon Unlimited Plan working out for you in Canada? No Roaming fees? I know they told you there wouldn't be any, just wondering if that was true. I put my Verizon Plan on suspend for the summer, but may start it back up before we head to the US.
Hope Kathy's surgery goes well.
