The text I get back says maybe on Sunday as he has a funeral on Saturday morning. So I texted back, please be sure and let me know ASAP if you will be coming on Sunday. Yes of course is what I got back. I told Bob on Thursday that I wasnt going to hear from either of them so we might as well do it ourselves. And so we hooked up the water heater in the master bathroom. The other water heater required 2 large wires and they only ran 1. We bought the extra wire but after thinking about it we decided that we could just buy another water heater the same size as what's in the master bath and it would service everything it needed to no sweat. So that's what we did. I texted the electrician on Sunday morning ( I'd never heard from him) and said we figured everything out and didnt need him. Thanks. And I got what I would consider a very snarky reply back. The last item for the electrician was putting up the lights for the vanity in the master. They didnt put them up till now because they wanted to center them over the sinks. Wires were run and coiled up behind the sheetrock. We have pictures of where they were so we are hoping that we can find them and mount the lights.
Custom panels should be done for the fridge and freezer any day now and the mirrors and glass for upper cabinets are now 3 weeks overdue but that hasnt stopped us from moving in. Besides I could not spend another night with my back issues on our old bed. It should have been replaced almost a year ago and we did buy a new bed for the house.
UPDATE: We found the old wires left in the sheetrock ( thank goodness for lots of pictures) and the lights are now hooked up. All that's left is the custom panels for the fridge and fridge/freezer and they will be installed in 2 weeks. Still no word on the mirrors and glass for cabinets that has me scratching my head. Hopefully this next week.
We are moved in and spending time trying to figure out what to do next. The yard will probably be the next item on the list. NO GRASS will be planted. Just like the old place it will be mostly native plants and a few cacti and yuccas. The tractor has the new hydraulic lines that Bob installed so we can use the grappler hook for dragging brush piles away from the house and onto the burn pile. We were able to save a bunch of the left over rock to build curbs that will more or less keep the yard dirt where it belongs and we can use the Tractor to place those pieces. We've also decided that we need a couple of large flat rock to build steps leading from the parking area ( in front ) up to the front door. We will take a day trip into San Saba for that and puck them out ourselves. Right now we have other things to attend to. My 4 Runner has a light on the dash telling me my anti sway and anti lock breaks arent working. We ate pretty sure it's a glitch but need to have it checked out and Bob's Dodge truck needs new break shoes. No rest for the weary!
