Guess what?

Hey ya'll,
Brianne convinced me that I needed to join all of you bloggers so now I have.
Dad was up early and out in the south garden. He turned it all over as there were these little green things called weeds trying to grow and he didn't want that going on so they got turned over. Then we got Quinn and Brianne up, had breakfast and then got Quinn in the grapefruit tree and he picked it clean and we now have 8 gals. of juice in the freezer and Katelynn took about 4 gal. home with her. Then it was noon so we came in and rested. We have the computer room all painted blue again in the same shade but new. We got some more paint to paint the ceiling. There was a spot above the door going outside that had peeled up so he scraped that, plastered over it and now the ceiling will need to be painted. We also got some white paint for the living room ceiling after we get the repair of the hole there done. We still need to replace the food disposal in the kitchen, the large window in the computer rm. and maybe the motor to the dishwasher and the repairs will be done, unless our buyers come up with something else that they would like to have done and we will have to agree to do that. Its been a long 5 months getting all these repairs done.
Hopefully on Monday the powers that be will decide what needs to be done so that our building permits can be done and the large hole in the ground where the basement will be can be filled with cement and bricks so we will have a basement to put a house on. The problem is the permit approver in Beaver wants the truss system that will be between the basement and house to meet a certain seismic rating. The well is coming, and barring any more rain this week, should be finished.
We will be going back up on the 18th of June and will take a U-haul truck full of stuff. We can rent a storage unit in Minersville to store it until we can move it to the house. Getting us moved has been a BIG stressor for Dad.
