My dad and I went to the house this morning around eight and started working. It was rainy and nasty out, but dry inside. I resumed working on the shiplap while my dad cleaned, taped and papered over the windows and doors, and ran some errands for us. The electrician came by and said that he will return tomorrow to add the microwave plug. Work went well, although a little more slowly than hoped. I had wanted to be ready to paint tomorrow, but it that will get pushed back to Friday. I spent the last portion of the day putting locks on the front door. We left the house about 2:30 and I showered at the cottage before stopping by the Goat Market for a drink then driving home. It rained the whole time. Back home I played with Luke, we had dinner, I set up our new wireless network (Spectrum – blazing fast!), then power went out. It has probably been out a couple of hours now. Luke didn’t get a bath and stayed up a bit later than usual. Now we are just sitting around hoping that power returns before everything in the refrigerator spoils! Tomorrow morning I’ll return to the Mountain to finish the shiplap and all the paint preparation.
