Moving forward - April 1, 2017

We continued to clear out the big trailer and campsite and work on organizing the new house.  In addition to our deadline at the park, we are preparing for a visit from both my brothers and their wives and our niece and grand nephew next weekend...our first houseguests!
 


 To be on the safe side, we had the septic tank drained and a raised cap put on it to make it more accessible.  Bob arranged to have our shed moved from the campground the back yard on the side of the house.  One of the satellite dishes is from the previous owner.  The other is the Direct tv dish we had installed.
As if he doesn't have enough to do, Bob decided to paint the foundation that was stained.  He said he wanted the house to look good for the company.  He is next to the crawl space opening that we could use in case of a tornado, although I think I would try to find some other safe spot in the house rather than getting into that.
A major glitch arose when Bob was trying to close up the big trailer.  One of the slides, which had malfunctioned when we were trying to leave Bonita, broke again.  He was able to get it back in enough to move the unit to a vacant site, but the slide will need to be repaired before we can sell it.  He researched how to repair it on line...not too bad except for having a special tool...this crimper that he was able to order.  He will probably move the trailer to our house and fix it there after family leaves.
