We are still hot and humid here-typical for Missouri Ozarks though. I spent a lot of hours yesterday morning, getting this gravel pile swept up and found boards to hopefully keep it from sliding down the hill. That was actually a big job.
This morning our nearby friend here at the lake moved the suburban to the top of hill and into our neighbor's driveway so it would be out of the way for the Lowes truck. Then after that cleaned up the area that was under the suburban-this hill is so steep that gravel and soil comes down with the rain storms.
I had just enough room in the very old chest freezer in the basement for the frozen items that were in the frig. That was a good thing. I also went through old bottles of things that we don't use any more and filled up about 6 wal mart bags full for the garbage pickup- which was early this morning-so that was good. It is amazing what was kept in the frig-especially since Larry's accident-that we don't use any more..
The window for the delivery is 1 to 5 that is really a long time frame. not sure what we will eat today around 2 pm. Larry is getting worse-which is expected so we may just have yogurt and fruit today and somethings else later.
I took a couple of photos

That stone pile was a job but now it is contained more. We bought this for projects before Larry's accident-and it was Very expensive we've used about half of it so far.
This hill is pretty steep and always intimidated me so is why I park up on the spot on top of this-I should learn to master this hill. I am looking at new Equinox 2027 (online) for a new car for me-I need one soon to stay safe. Our friend that mowed the grass for me suggested it-he says his Mom and Grandma love theirs. The dealerships near here closed down a few years ago so when I am ready will go to Lebanon which is near the woods home and am familiar with. Do any of you any have this car?
I hadn't talked with a long time friend in Wisconsin for over a year now so I Facebooked him around 11 pm last night and he says I am calling you. We talked til 3 am smiles. A nice catch up with a good long time friend. They live in Wisconsin but move down to Florida in September and stay til Wisconsin warms up. I gotten woken up after two hours sleep this morning-this will be a long day smiles.
Happy Tuesday
Update more stress--the appliances won't make it through the opening on top of the steps so have to get a railing off--craziness because we have gotten very large pieces down here before stressed and not happy

What a lot of work you have done. I love the pictures. Everything looks so nice. Exciting day for sure. Good luck !
ReplyDeletesadly issues with Lowes still don't have my appliances especially a washing machine
DeleteGlad you caught upb' with your friend!
ReplyDeletethanks me too
DeleteThat is a very intimidating-looking hill! I hope your delivery goes well today.
ReplyDeleteYes it is that is why I made sure I had all the stones etc off of it---major issues with Lowes so I did Not get my appliances and the main item I need is the washing machine
DeleteI have always loved the 2 Equinox's I have had now. Mine have been reliable. Not sure if I could live on a hill like that at my age. Friends of ours just purchased a house on the river and all steps everywhere. They are older and those steps are steep to me. Our window for any delivery is always half a day...UGH Hope you like your new appliances and are able to get them inside. Janice
ReplyDeleteYes this was the wrong house for Larry steep hill and steep steps-I walk up to the top every day to get the mail, but it gives me exercise. Problems with appliance delivery been on the phone with Lowes-getting no where really someone is supposed to call me tonight.
DeleteOh no about the appliance delivery. They is frustrating to say the least. I hope you can get that worked out and you can get your appliances. It's frustrating to do all that work and then they can't get them in. Sending you good luck wishes, and good luck car shopping too. it's never fun but having a reliable car is a good thing. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWe have a Dodge Ram 1500 with too many miles on it... lol We have always had a truck as soon as we could afford it... and never looked back... this one has a crew cab so we can haul the GrandLittles with no problem.. We may end up having to get something new eventually... and i'm thinking it won't be a truck.. Hub is starting to have a hard time getting in and out of it.. and we could use something with better mileage.. Gosh darn it.. i'm so sorry to hear about the appliances.. you sure need something to go right! So did the Suburban start or did your neighbor have to drag it out? Wow! So good about your long time friend! i bet that was nice.. Hugs~ deb
ReplyDeletegood morning no the suburban is starting fine-I just have open the door with the fob and push the button to start inside it will not start remotely for some reason
