The Silence is Maddening

Liz: If you are still alive and well please let us curious types know how you are coming with the rip and replace operation on the house. I've been waiting with baited breath for Trinity to get the pinch bar and hammer urge and then have to live in a tent for the next year or two. Anything can happen to a person that can get excited over part of an old screen door, or the left rear wheel from a horse drawn manure spreader. I think it must be the beaches around Charleston, SC; warm sand and cold salt water can do funny things to a person. Our daughter and son-in-law just bought a real fixer upper about two blocks from us and will be moving back here just as soon as their house in Missouri sells. Carrie told the banker that between her husband and her dad they could build or fix anything. With a recommendation like that what is a father to do? Dale -- The Old Man Of The Plains

    Hi Dale, I am not writing because there is nothing to write :O) there are no walls, no floors, no bathroom and no roof, although during a week of 100 + degree weather, we did manage to get all the thousands of nails pulled out from the roof and put down the tarpaper - so it is now officially a tarpaper shack. I think I am retaining my good cheer and sanity rather well, thank you. If it ever gets to a point that there is something to report, I will let you know LOL Liz
