Life Below Grade

Well, we're in sort of.  Still moving the closet stuff and the kitchen stuff.  Have electricity for half of the apartment.  There is more work to be done on the elec panel.  Here are some photos of things as they are now.  Paining still has to be done.  All the segments of the work took longer than anticipated, (no surprise).  Appliances are coming next week and the countertop .

on the following week.  

We have arrived.  The move is all complete with lots of stuff in the garage looking for a home. It is most pleasant to only have one address.  Lots of things to get used to in this neighborhood with its manicured lawns and all the Mercedes and Cadillac automobiles around.   

Touch screen on my 2018 Ford Fusion went black. 

Everything else works, thank goodness.  We have reviewed YouTube videos and tried their methods without success so far.  Would really like to get this fixed without going the dealer route.  

My other son Alvin is in from Hawaii where he is stationed, with his wife and new baby in tow.  Judy is chomping at the bit to squeeze this chubby little guy. 

So it is September 2nd and kids are back at school.  I miss the noise and activity of Rogers Elementary down Oxford Road..  Really quiet here, something I will have to get used to. 

Eleven steps up to the main floor.  I travel on these numerous times in a day.  Constructors have installed many overhead lights to brighten the environment.  These photos are lit by one table lamp, hence their dimness.  

Well off to un load the car for the last time. It's filled with dishes and other kitchen equipment.  I have told everyone that this is my final. move.  I am going straight to the graveyard from here.  Hopefully I will expire upstairs so the undertaker won't have to haul my sorry ass up the stairs.

all for now

stay safe
