Last Saturday we drove to Simi Valley, had dinner with Brad, Diane, Joann, David Jr. and Jodi. We had a great dinner then Dave and I went back to our hotel. Staying at the same one we had booked for Kim and Danny's wedding.
Sunday, we had breakfast with David Jr., Jodi, and Riley then went and picked up the U-Haul pickup truck. We got the tool chess back from David and our wine refrig. from Brad and Diane then headed back to Bakersfield. Kim was working Sunday so while I watched Madison, Dave and Danny packed up our stuff we had stored there, well almost everything. Monday morning Dave and I went to Weatherby's to pick-up the mattress and head board, then back to Kim's to pick up the rest of the stuff we hadn't packed.
Dave and I finally got on the road about 1pm and stopped at the Elks Lodge in Needles about 5:30pm. Dave driving the RV and pulling the car, me driving the U-Haul pick-up.
We arrived at the house about noon on Tuesday and the bug spraying guy was here to spray the outside and inside of the house. We unpacked what we needed from the car and the RV then headed for 1000 Trails to setup the RV. Once done with that we stopped at the store where we bought the furniture from and set up the delivery time. We got back to the house at about 3pm and unloaded the U-Haul. We got done about 5pm, turned the truck in and went back to 1000 Trails to cook dinner. Boy, were we tired and hungry.
Today, Wednesday, we left early and went to breakfast, then to the house. At 9am sharp the delivery truck showed up with the furniture we had ordered, the Dish TV guy showed up at 9:10am, the computer guy showed up about 10am. Dave and I managed to get stuff washed and put away while all this was going on. Dave got more involved with the workers we had there and I did more of the putting stuff away, which was fine by me. The dish guy seemed to be having the most problems. At one point, after being up in the attic, he said he couldn't do what we wanted done and told Dave so. Dave went up in the attic to show him he could, well Dave was right, and the guy kept saying how sorry he was. Then in the afternoon the cable dish guy asked if he could use our bathroom, (for the second time) when he finally came out he had asked Dave and I not to go down the hallway or into our bedroom for awhile because of the smell. He did say he left the fan on and he did feel a lot better, so gross!!!
By 7pm Dave and I got to have dinner, cooked on the new grill, which was very nice. We are spending the night for the 1st time in the Cornville house. We have a list going for all the stuff we still need, god you just don't realize all the stuff you need to operate in a house again, a lot different then a Motor Home.

OMG! I can't stop laughing about the worker using the bathroom and stinking it up! I would have been pissed! Seriously, who would do that?
I agree with Michael. I can't believe he even told you that it was stinky. That's just so gross. And yes, homes are a LOT of work. I kinda miss having a landlord taking care of stuff. Or at least having my dad close to help us out.
Oh my gosh, no he did not!!! How could he and then admit that he went #2. At least wait until the end of the day and then leave. No manners.
See ya soon
Dave even made the comment that thank goodness he was wearing a long T-Shirt other wise we would have been looking at his butt crack and gut all day long too!
Well I guess you gotta be grateful for the little things. Maybe you should put a sign up in the bathroom that says This ain't no public restroom. Do your dirty work some place else.
