On down the road...

Gary and Lou have moved on down the road as full time RVers are wont to do. We very much appreciated having them here. More was accomplished in one weeks time than has taken place all summer. It was a blessing having them here and a very unexpected happening too. We are extremely grateful. Our backyard looks empty now.
About the backyard...many of you know about our frustration in having the alley blocked by our uncooperative homeowner to the south of us. The alley is abandoned so he does have the right to block it. It is being a bad neighbor to do so however. The blockage to the alley was moved last Wednesday. We do not know why or for how long but we are grateful for that as well.
Russ is off on vacation this next week. The good news is the room interior is finished as far as Russ's part is concerned. Butch and I will do the things that remain on the inside. Russ has a few details to take care of on the outside before I can begin painting. He was going to come work on caulking so I could paint while he was gone but a thunderstorm changed that plan. Neither Butch nor I are any good at caulking so it will have to wait...unless there is someone reading this who would be good at it and like to help us out? I didn't think so.

 We are further advanced than these photos show. More pictures later...
