We arrived back at the lake about 5:30 in the afternoon on Wednesday. We had planned on getting there earlier but as usual that plan fell through. We stopped and shopped at Wally World for an hour or so and then continued on. Sherri picked up some rugs for her new living room and found some other what nots to place here and there. I found a clear plastic carpet protector for the drivers area. I will have to cut it to fit. Having the door in the drivers side of the MH is great but when you get out at some of the truck stops you have a tendency to track in oil and grease. This will allow me to keep my shoes on when entering the RV.
This morning the phone alarm went off and for just a second I thought it was time to get up for work. No I have a week and a half off so I went back to sleep. I don't think I slept long but I did not mind getting up when I woke the next time. I went and made coffee and sat down to figure my material for our porch which we are building inside the port. We want a place to set outside that is screened in to keep the skeeters out at night and the flies off of us in the day.
Digging holes...setting post...mixing concrete...and pouring it makes one tired
The plan is to make it 8 ft by 16 ft. This will gives us plenty of room for our chairs and tables. Sherri found several patio sets that she liked and they will fit in this size area. As this project develops I will post pictures to show you my progress. I have several days to get it started and I hope that in that time I can complete it. I will go to Home Depot this morning to order my lumber and pick up some of the materials that I can haul in the Jeep. It feels funny not to have my truck. We have had a truck for most of our married life and now without one I really don't know how to act. Maybe we can get us one of those small trailers that we can pull with the Jeep.
After returning from the Depot I began digging the holes for my fence that will attach to the port. There will be two small fences about 6 ft on either side of the front and a larger fenced in area off the left rear side that will house the playground for the kids. The other side of the rear will have a fenced in area with a gate to allow entrance to the port from the back of the property.
I have many more of these to do
Three fence post holes later I am heading to the shower. This has been a productive day and tomorrow I hope to get much more done...
Somewhere in Time
