Today Graham got the Lazy Susans installed in the corner cabinets, and then he and Steve continued installing clapboard to the front face of the house.
We're trying to stay on the plumbers' and electricians' schedules - the good thing about them being so busy is that it speaks well of the quality of their work that they're in such demand. The bad thing about it is that I can't just have them magically appear the second I call! We hope to see them tomorrow.
While we were having our lunch a couple guys and a dog in a big white pickup truck with out of state tags pulled in, looking to make us a deal on some equipment. Wasn't anything we needed, and they wanted to unload the whole lot for the hefty sum of 6K, which may or may not have been a good deal, I don't know. But here they were, way out here in the sticks hawking those goods - a couple generators, some kind of pumps (like firemen use, Steve said) and something else.
Steve was cordial enough to them, but it wasn't anything we were interested in (especially not for 6K - ouch!). Kinda gave me the willies, strangers pulling in, trying to sell big ticket items out of their truck like that. Steve sent 'em along on their way and closed the gate after 'em.
Directly, we saw that one of Mustang's Finest had pulled over a certain big white pickup with out of state tags and crates of equipment in the back. Havin' a little chat with the fellas, checkin' 'em out, right up at the stop sign on the corner. Apparently their story checked out enough to convince Barney, but they were advised to move along, now, which they did, along with their goods that they hadn't yet been able to talk anyone into buying.
