This afternoon Doc and I went to
the Pomona house. The first goal was to
clean out the guest room closet. That
took a few hours. The second goal was to
charge the battery in the 38 Chevy so that it can be driven to the Penny Palace. The third goal (Doc's, not mine) was to get
the fire safe from the upstairs closet into the van. That safe is really heavy! Doc says I am to keep off my leg, yet he
wants help lifting a safe!

The fire safe is where we keep all
our papers such as birth and marriage certificates, land and auto ownership
papers, passports, etc. Whew! Even with desiccant bags in there, the musty
smell was still overpowering.
When Doc and I cleaned out the
guest closet we discovered some house plans - the ones I had drawn 30 years ago
for my senior design project. We had not
looked at those plans since then. We were
both astonished. Many of those features
drawn 30 years ago had found their way into the Penny Palace!
Doc was needing a multimeter to
determine the charge level on the Chevy battery. Our meters are now at the Penny Palace, so I
called my brother who lives four houses away.
He walked in our house, looked around and said, "so when are you
moving out?" I told him we have had
a moving van take stuff twice, plus we have been taking car loads nearly every
day for the past month. He looked around
and said, "with all this stuff it looks like you could still be living
here".
Doc and I transported the contents
of the guest closet to the new house, then returned for the shelves. Doc stopped at a gas station just so I could
look for coins. Found a nickel and two
pennies. (Coins #1-3).
Lawn Shed Project: Our roofer
called us back regarding the reroofing job.
He could do the job around July 4th -- providing the shed can support
the additional load. I called the shed
manufacturer. It was suggested we triangulate
the front overhang. Doc assessed what
should be done. He said all we need to
do is remove the shed contents and shelving, rip off the existing roof, reinforce
the side walls, strengthen the roof supports, and then we will be ready for the
roofer to lay the new shingles. Sure
thing Honey -- in our spare time!
Total:
3 Coins P (2), N (1), D (0),
Q (0) = $0.07
