We have had a few hectic days. First our new door needed to be picked up from Athens, TX which was about a three hour drive one way. That comprised our day on Saturday.
Then Pat decided to clean out stuff under the deck. Well as he pulled pieces of rotten wood out, he discovered some suspicious white ant type of bugs. Upon researching on the Internet, we came to the conclusion that the bugs were TERMITES. We promptly tried to find an exterminator and settled on Orkin. We called them on Friday and set up a time for them to do an inspection on Monday (yesterday). The worry set in over the weekend not knowing what damage there might be. The inspection was finally done at 5:30 after waiting all day The outcome is that there are termites but they had not yet penetrated any part of the deck or cottage structure. What a relief!!
Also yesterday we had the new door installed so goodbye warped door and hello new straight door that has an excellent seal!!
In between all this, we had to pack suitcases and get everything into the truck for a 4:30 morning departure. We are stopping for the night at Jackson, TN and will complete the trip to Indiana tomorrow. I hope not as early as today!
Oh yes, on Sunday our daughter who we are staying with, had an accident at work and has a very bad sprained ankle/foot and is on crutches. I guess our stay with her is well-timed so we can help her. Thank goodness her brother lives in the area and could be with her at the ER on Sunday night.
I guess there is never a dull moment.
Easy Living!
