Another Three Weeks......?

Floor tile is going in. Doors are all hung, trimmed and finished. Electricians will put in lights this week. Most interior painting is done, and the closets and pantries are outfitted with shelves and/or rods. There is an incredible amount of detailed work being done by fine local craftsmen who work more patiently than I wait.

Meanwhile, Don helps the builders where he can, and works on his vault cabinetry in the basement. I cross-country ski till my knees give out, then go to the trailer to "blog," mostly at http://janthedogtalker.blogspot.com/. Every other day we take our three-minute showers, and on Fridays I go to the laundromat.

Lizzie doesn't chase deer or turkeys anymore since we outfitted her with an electronic collar. The old boys, Kosmo and Atlas (sometimes known as Moron and Putz) are well.

Don will make another trip to Yakima as soon as we move into the house (another three weeks????) He has a few more things to clean out of Shooters Supply. The building, of course, is for sale.
