This morning we met Handyman George at 9 a.m. We spent the morning working with him to install the microwave (which had a significant shipping dent in it) and the range vent hood. Doc said we must ‘test the system’ so he pulled a bag of microwave popcorn from his backpack and a few minutes later we were all enjoying hot popcorn!
Doc made a quick run to Home Depot and returned with a power cord for the vent hood plus two pennies (Coins #1&2).
At noon we made a quick run for the Tuesday 2-for-1 taco special. I had just been telling George and his wife Anna about Penny Finding when I nearly stepped on a penny which was in the grass next to George’s truck! (Coin #3)
Project Manager, Daryl brought a guest, Hal to the PP. Hal is in the construction trade and very much liked the things he saw at the PP.
There was one landscaping guy on site today. He was power washing the boulders and rocks along the stream. One electrician was working today. He was connecting all the wiring for the phones and internet, de-bugging some non-working outlets, and trying to install an oven which was way oversized for the cabinet opening.
After the Penny Palace, Doc and I headed out to Rental #2. We were driving two vehicles at the time, so we parked Pippy. Doc arrived first and ‘guided’ me to an available parking spot. I had a very strong thought “For fun, guide me into a spot with a penny!” As I was turning into the spot, Doc had me pause so he could retrieve a penny which was there! We were both surprised. (Coin #4).
We went to Rental #2 to select the roofing material. There were large piles of carpeting, cabinetry, and stuff outside the house. Much demolition occurred today.
Next we stopped at the Fixture Shop to pick up the four sinks which were ordered yesterday, two additional sinks, and the six faucets for them. Progress!
Tonight there are various letters to write (Homeowner’s Associations, etc.) Management Companies to respond to, subcontractors to schedule, glitches to resolve (the kitchen oven does not fit into the cabinetry), creative things to design (the upstairs railing) and friends to help (letters of assistance, editing, etc.)
Life is Good - things are Positively Popping!
Total: 4 Pennies
