Is There Progress?

About a week ago Tim left for Texas through Missouri.  He is helping his parents move to Texas permanently.  Just before he left he and George did some more work on the garage.  Since then, I am not sure of what progress has been made so maybe I will get an update once Tim returns to the farm.

Happy Memorial Day!

On this Day I want to take the opportunity to thank the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for you and me and our country.  THANK YOU and Happy Memorial Day!

The Garden Has Been Planted

The garden has been planted and this year all of the crops have been planted in one big bed.  The four other beds that have been used the past three years are resting this year.  So, with all that has been planted, see picture to the right, it will be interesting how things will grow and what kind of war there will be with the animals and bugs.  Lisa was kind enough to send me the list and a George will be sending pictures soon.  Now it times to let’s the seeds grow and see what happens.

The Garage Has Started

The pad to George and Lisa’s new garage has been down for nearly a year and now the walls are starting to go up.  Over the weekend Tim and George began the garage project.  When completed I believe that it will be a three car garage with a work area in it.  Once built it will allow their vehicles, including their Gator’ to be inside and free of rain or snow.  It is a project but the first wall is up!

A New Air Conditioner

The RV will be cool again!  After trying to revive the old air conditioner Tim finally threw in the towel and purchased a new unit for the RV.  He got the same size as the old but it has been improved over the past 11 years and now it works a lot less harder, cools better and costs less to operate.  It is a lose-win-win-win.  The lose paper is having to buy the air conditioner.  Tim installed it himself and it is operating great.  Good job Tim!

Trying To Revive The Air Conditioner

At the end of last summer our main air conditioner decided to quit working.  Luckily we have a second air conditioner that we relied on but we had to do a few things to the RV to block the sun from coming in.  We face the southeast which means we have sun in the RV from morning through evening.  When both air conditioners work no problem but when down to one it makes it tough.  Tim researched all winter and tried to recharge our main air conditioning unit by replacing the piercing valve and recharging the unit with Freon  and it worked!  But only for a few days.  It was a valent effort and worth a try.  Check the pictures out.  Unfortunately, it did not work so a new air conditioning unit is being purchased and Tim will replace it.

Happy Mother’s Day!

I just wanted to take this opportunity to wish all the Moms a Happy Mother’s Day!  I hope you all have a wonderful day! Happy Mother’s Day!

New Car For George

George had a Honda CRV that he loved and said “I want to be buried in it when I die” but the CRV just could not keep going after several hundred thousands of miles and alas George had to bid it a fond farewell.  Well, he just could not get by without his own CRV, Lisa has one too, so he purchased a used CRV and is once again happy to be a duel CRV owner.  It is nice looking and should keep George happy while driving for a while.  Congrats George!

The Flower Tower

George and Lisa keep improving their driveway cul da sac and this time they have beautified it by adding a flower garden.  George built a “tower” for the flowers and it turned out great!  It is a wonderful addition that also adds some height to the cul da sac. Nice job!

No More Suprise Leaks

The RV is truly protected from freezing pipes now and we do not have to worry about flooding the basement and ruining the furnace.  Tim replaced the pipes with one that will not freeze and even though it was not something he wanted to do he figured he would do it now before it gets too hot and before next winter.  It went well and the RV is ready for the cold once again!
