Hi Darlin',
Lots of work done today! Rick arrived in the late morning, and got busy on laying down the sewer pipe and working on the electric. Lo and behold, in the early afternoon, a camper showed up, well, he had reservations for later this week and came in to check out the site, and wouldn't you know? Turns out he's a plumber and fix-it guy! Rick made a deal with him (Bill) to get his camping for free if he helped, and he jumped right in! He managed to tie in the water spigot, so that got done, and he dug a trench for the sewer that went from the trench we already dug to right where we're going to tie into that. Rick almost got the electric in, but then discovered the brand new breaker he had wasn't working the way it should, and the new box didn't have the right kind of screws, so I didn't end up with electric yet, but I was so ready to move, I put everything away, hooked up and pulled out. They finally left to go to the shop, then I worked on getting into the site. It took awhile, the gravel is so soft and the angle is a bit tricky. The first real attempt ended up with me not going far enough back, because it seemed like I was really leaning too much to one side, but I didn't like being so far forward, so I decided to try again, going back a lot farther. I was definitely still leaning, so I pushed back a bit and put a board down under my tires to get it more level (though I think I'll need two), but then my truck tires got stuck. At that point it was getting too late, so I just parked it there, unhooked, and ran an extra extension cord to the pavilion so I'd have electric. Not putting anything else in place until I get it where I want it. The plan is to come at the gooseneck hitch from a different angle and then be able to roll it up onto the boards, and hopefully that will make me level again! Fingers crossed! I am hooked up with water now, though, and it looks like the rest of it will be done tomorrow, too, both electric and sewer, so at least I'm making some headway! Three steps forward and just a baby step back, so progress is made! Had a nice fish dinner, finishing off my tea with a couple of sugar cookies, won't be long out of bed! Good night, baby! Love you!
