It’s time for another posting, another week in Bakersfield and the weather is starting to get hotter. This last week we weren’t at Kim and Danny’s too much until Friday. We just stayed around the coach, did some shopping, played pickle ball and rode bikes at the beginning of the week but then on Wednesday we took our bikes in for an overhaul, got them back on Friday. Friday Dave and I started sanding the facer boards in the front of the house. Then we decided to get a big power washer and spray down the house 1st to clean it all up. Dave started the washing on Friday afternoon, then when Danny got home from work he started playing with it to wash all the mud off of his car. Saturday, Dave and I went over early to wash and sand the house, Dave did the washing and I was up on the ladder sanding the wood. Danny mowed the lawn then at 10:30 Kim and Danny left because it was baby register day, Kim has been trying to get Danny to go with her and they just don’t seem to have the time to do it. Dave and I worked until around 2pm then gave up it was just too hot. The kids got back about 4 then at 5:30 we left to go to the car races.
Sunday, Dave did some sanding and I did digging up trees and picking thru rocks to save to use when we redo the front yard. Oh, forgot , Saturday Dave got rid of the Xmas Tree in the front of the house, cut the sucker down and boy did it open up the yard. The house looks a lot better without that tree, even Kim, who didn’t want it to go bye bye, had to admit it does look better without the tree.
Anyway, at 10am, after the kids got out of church, we met them for brunch, then when we got back Dave and Danny moved the patio stuff out then washed down the rest of the house.
Kim and I worked on raking thru the rocks for saving for the front yard but it was just too hot so we had to quit. See the pregnant girl doing some work. Dave went to the dump with all the bushes and trees we took out then it was back to the coach.
Today, Monday, we hung around, rode bikes and played pickle ball it was another hot day, tomorrow it is going to be cooler so we will go and finish, hopefully, sanding the wood and get it prepped for painting, which we plan on doing ourselves. We leave next Tuesday for Sacramento, David, Jodi and Riley are coming up this weekend so more than likely the painting of the house won’t get done until we get back which is on May 27th. Damn, you know I am getting too old for this stuff, we have to win the lottery so we can pay to have someone do all this work, oh well. At least I get to keep my tan going with doing all of this work.
That’s it for now, will update again before we hit the road.
