I was very impressed and excited last night to see all the changes happening and finally coming together.
Spanky's yogurt and concrete were consumed last night, filling our bellies and cooling us down.
My neighbor, (you may remember from past references) was in my yard last night as we were finishing up on the guest bedroom. I was on the phone with my wonderful, beautiful, patient wife when I noticed him. He seemed to be needing me, I assumed to help move something (not the first time). So I told Dawn I was going to check with him. I went out on the deck, he mentioned while standing at his truck he had his old grill to load (I helped unload the new one weeks ago). So I grabbed my shoes and headed over.
This grill is a few years old, had one burner replaced, Kenmore model, forest green look. He said the electronic pilot light no longer worked. He was going to give it to his cousin, unless of course I needed one. What? I politely stated if you really just want to get rid of it and are seriously offering, I will gladly take it off his hands, I still wanted a grill and did not have one. We then carried it over to the cement slab on the back of the house where it currently resides.
I went inside and mentioned what happened to dad, we came out a little later to check the pilot switch. Short version, inside the connection was corroded. Dad scraped it clean, we put a new battery in and Voila!
Also, it comes with a 'Spit' for cooking small whole chickens and such. (Pretty cool I think)
Dad was able to finish the kitchen, Dawn has new sink and faucet system. I added some nice decorative lighting that makes the counter area look really cool in the evenings.
Last night, through the awesomeness that is Xoom, Dawn and I did a video chat as she directed Dad and myself to move all of the pieces in the nursery to their final positions. Once I get the floor cleaned and Valance up, a photo will follow.
