April 25th House Pictures

Here are some recent pictures of the work done and being done on the house.

April 14th

I have been in Aiken since March 27 visiting Mama and Daddy. Brandon got to come this past weekend. Nana and Papa had gotten Brandon a Pogo Stick for his birthday. We got to try it out while he was here.

Me, being the adventurous person that I am decided to take a go at it...
...but then I took a spill and hit the ground.
Mama and Daddy were heading out to Daddy's 50th high school class reunion.

Brandon and I were heading back to Alabama.

A good time was had by all.

Blizzard!

Friday evening I came home and worked on the roof. Nice and warm- in the 50s. I didn't quite get done so I covered the rest with a tarp since there was rain/snow in the forecast.



Shadow was snooping around and found this antler a deer had dropped nearby. She was very excited to show it to me. (Deer lose their antlers around March)



Good thing I covered the roof! Woke up to 6 inches of snow and as of 6:30 Sat. have about 14 inches and it is still snowing hard. Here is the 4 wheeler:

The power went out at 5 Am and was off until about 2 Pm. We have gas heat so it was warm enough. The scanner I bought last year to monitor the forest fire chat came in handy today. I could hear the utility company workers' transmissions and heard when they were getting ready to turn the power back on.

Nice and dry inside so I was able to get quite a bit done in the addition. The wiring is almost done. The plumbers are supposed to be here on Friday, but the snowfall may delay that.

I also plowed the driveway with the tractor. In the past, when it was too cold to start the tractor, we would have to pay someone $90 to plow. This is only the third time in 3 years that it had to be plowed.

It may be Monday before the County Road gets plowed.

Of course I had to take another picture of the bridge!
