Ongoing Project

Before, during, and after. We had to replace the insulation behind the shower as it had leaked at some time and turned the normally pink insulation black. Ick!! We put in a new window and will be putting in a new shower surround and tiling the floor.

The House Project

Saturday, we went for a 225 mile ride towards Chinook Pass and back down White Pass. It was a gorgeous day for a ride. After the ride, we went to Grandview, WA where they were having a grape stomp competition that my sister and niece were participating in. It was a ton of fun! The grapes were squashed by teams of three. The winning team came all the way from Wyoming to take the prize. Their son-in-law's family has something to do with one of the local wineries, so they came all the way to help out.

Sunday, we gutted the bathroom in our new house and went to Tri-Cities and bought a bunch of new stuff to put in. Jim finished gutting it tonight so he could add more insulation to the walls.







Tomorrow the project will continue.

Update

Howdy all, just an update on our adventure. Penn is working for an irrigation company. They supply the water to the farmers. I am helping the local motorcycle shop out in the service dept. As if that is not enough with the care taking of Penn's parents and property, we have a job one weekend a month changing the ads in the shopping carts at several stores. we felt we were getting too much sleep so we bought a fixer upper from Penn's parents. Their renter moved out and they did not want the hassle of another renter, so they made us a deal on the place. It has 3 bdrms, 1 bath. It is just over 1000 sqft, has a nice garage/shop, out building, trees and is on five acres. Plan is to have the inside fixed up by Thanksgiving and move into it. next spring get the outside done. So when the situation with Penn's parents change we we sell it and hit the road again. Penn's cat Buddy keeps us entertained. Tonight just as the sun was going down, Buddy was sitting on top of my car when a large owl swooped down and at the last minute it decided Buddy was too big for dinner and aborted the mission. Buddy bristled up, the owl was on the fence post and Buddy still on top of the car in a stare off. Still enjoying life, its all good, J&P

A job!

I finally got a good job - and it's local. I only have to drive about 10 miles to work. It's a great job and the people have been really good to work with. Jim's working full time at the Yamaha dealer now.

We are also in the process of buying a house and five acres. It was a rental house of my parents and just down the road from them. Their renter moved out and they don't want to rent any longer, so we're going to take it off their hands and fix it up.

It has a small garage, so that makes Jim happy, and the interior needs lots of decorating, so that makes me happy.
