We'd Love to Send Pictures But...

Alas, we have managed to lose the camera in the move from Beaumont to the trailer. We'll continue to search for it but until it's found we'll be pictureless.

Life in the trailer is cramped but, being right on site, we are saving a great deal on gas and time. Jim is trooping along with the mudding and hopes to be able to start priming by the end of next week. In the meantime, a gas fitter has come out to hook up the two furnaces and the coil for the air conditioner. He should be done tomorrow. The water system is all in and, finally, functioning properly. We had a bit of a disaster as the chlorination system kept siphoning into the holding tank and giving us super chlorinated water. As we have the water from the house hooked directly up to the trailer, we were having to use the "pool" water for showering. We were slowly becoming albinos. The dye is now nearly all out of my hair and Jim's silvering mane is very showy, indeed.

On the weather front, the drought may be over. We have had over 20mm of rain in the last 2 days with more to come tonight. Apparently, we need approximately 50 mm to be on the road to recovery so all we can do is wait and hope that the leaden clouds provide the moisture.

  3. What not a bleached blonde? Hey at least you both have hair to bleach out ;^) You just can't satisfy some people.

    Kathleen, congrats on getting the trailer you always wanted. Looks good in the photo.

    Jim, glad to hear that the mudding is almost done. What a huge job.
