Sept 16 - I opened the refrigerator at 5:05 AM to get my morning yogurt and there was a strong smell of ammonia. Gerry was still in bed so I woke him up. Turns out the refrigerator coils went out. We temporarily moved the refrigerator from the house to the deck outside the trailer but it actually works out better this way. We were going to store it in the garage and go back-and-forth with supplies but now we just step outside and it's as if it's in the next room. Of course, we'll see how it goes when it rains.
Sept 17 - A low-boy dumpster full of concrete pieces from the side of the house, the front steps and planter, and the driveway was picked up ....
and a full-size dumpster was dropped off. That's Alfonso, Gerry's helper. He's a hard worker.
Sept 20 - Gerry's 50" flat-panel TV won't turn on....Oh No! Luckily the friend we bought it from purchased a 4-year warranty. Thank you, Bill! The Geek Squad had to order the part but they are due out tomorrow to repair it. He moved the bedroom TV to the living room and our smaller flat-panel that used to be in the kitchen was moved into the bedroom. We're all set.
Sept 21- There's water in the cabinet under the kitchen sink were I just got all the tupperware-like stuff put away. The gray water tank hold 40 gallons. We were full and didn't know it. The connection wasn't tight so when the water didn't drain into the tank, it backed up into the cabinet. Luckily it wasn't too much and I caught it early. Just another bump. We discovered the tank monitor--right under our noses--yesterday. Now I check it often.
Sept 25 - Man, it is HOT out today! Luckily, the trailer has an air conditioner. What? It's not hooked up?
Gerry tweaked his left knee this morning but doesn't know how or when. It's painful but he's not letting it get the best of him--he's still working.
We're off to Joe & Corrie's house in Corona (where it was 104-degrees!) for his annual End of Summer BBQ. Yum-yum satay "sticks." As usual, we ate too much!
Excuse me? You say you didn't get any? So sorry.
Sept 26 - Gerry puts the air conditioner back together. (Well...he took it apart.) Hooray, it's working!
Sept 27 - We're still waiting for Edison to switch us over to the power pole. We found out this morning, when Gerry went to the city at 7:00 AM, that the city inspector did not turn in our paperwork until a week after he was here. We've only got one extension cord coming from the house to the trailer. We were OK until this heat; between the fridge and the air condition, the power was off & on today. Gerry ran a second extension cord out from the house for the fridge so we're good now. Edison should be out tomorrow.
