Awake: 6:15am Temp 36 sleep 6+56 mostly sunny, but cold winds @ Nicktown.
Construction crew arrived @ 6:52am. After our KK meeting, Kathy, Debbie & I exercised for 1.5 hrs. Debbie was on the ball & found out that there was no school today due to a teacher's conference so she tipped us off. Thanks Deb.
After breakfast, Kathy & I talked with Bernie about the opportunity to have an enlarged Pantry; he was thinking ahead of us as he left a space open for that very reason.
Mid afternoon, I went around the premises picking up remnants of wood: 2x4's & 2x6'es etc that could no longer be used by the builders & carefully packed them in large boxes.
Meanwhile, Kathy motored to Ebensburg for a few groceries & a few more large boxes. By the time we finished packing the remnants, we had (5) rather heavy boxes.
Before the workers left for the day, they all got together & cleaned up the entire area in front of the house; here is a before shot. It doesn't look too messy from this angle due to blockage by the motorhome....
here is after the cleanup photo.
All clean in prep for Monday's BIG truck & crane.
Dinner: a bowl of Clam chowder, leftover tuna & noodle & a mixed salad.
Late evening: we continue watching: "Gladiator" with Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Oliver Reed, Derek Jacobi, Djimon Hounsou, Richard Harris, etc. Impressive tale from the days of the Roman Empire, with Crowe as a dedicated soldier who refuses to transfer his loyalty to the new emperor Commodus (Phoenix) and suffers the consequences, winding up a gladiator in the Roman Coliseum. Crowe wins Academy Award & best picture, Costume Design, Sound & Visual Effects. 2000. The movie surprised us; if you haven't seen this award winning movie, don't pass it up.
Lights out: 12:09am.
