Checked out the house and it appears all the windows and most of the outside doors are installed. Plumber had installed the tubs, framers had replaced most of the soffit, etc. Unfortunately when we really started looking at the fireplace, we realized it was not woodburning. It is a gas ceramic log type of system. So when Ryan arrived and we told him, tho he was gracious, we could see it was going to be a problem. Some how we didn't communicate what we wanted to him....
Most of the day up until lunch, we worked with the neighbors on removing the brush along the fence line. Peg was totally into working the brush cutter. I think we have pretty much finished removing the brush so they can begin pulling wire, which they were doing by the end of the day. They have worked very hard. Today, for example, they were there working before we arrived at 9:00, and were still working when we left at 3:00. We were pooped after our short little stint of 21/2-3 hours!
Ryan, Larry, and kids arrived around lunch time so we ate. After lunch, Emily and her crew arrived. The children ran around and played as the adults talked and Ryan inspected.
Finally we headed down to the deer feeder where we have seen from the game cam that the raccoons have totally taken over. I had planned to make a repair or two to the solar panel because it had partially broken off. Well, it was really messed up so I will need to spend some time figuring out how to repair it. We had thought it was the deer with their racks of antlers that had mangled the panel up. But it wasn't. It is the raccoons that climb up to the top of the feeder poles and drop down onto the feeder bucket and panel breaking it off.
