Awake: 6:21am      Temp 22      sleep 6+52      mostly sunny      overnight @ Nicktown.

After our KK meeting, K & I visited Bernie & the workers in the house; they are putting sleepers on the floor in both wings. Sleepers are strips of wood (1) inch square which are fastened by glue & nails. DSC000516.JPG Later the geo-thermo tubing will run alongside the sleeper which will help keep the floor level while pouring the gyp concrete. Our house was busy today as the 84-Lumber guys came in with their truck & shot cellulose insulation (cut-up) shredded newspaper in the attic to further insulate the ceiling. DSC000515.JPG Next K & I motored to Milliken Milwork, Inc in the town of Sidman, PA.,about (32) miles one way. We were looking for inside doors & Randy showed us the options we had with the Jeld Wen company. DSC000517.JPG                 Some of these doors we are interested in; Kathy really likes this one. DSC000518.JPG     Next we asked Randy if we could have a factory tour; "not a problem" he responded. DSC000520.JPG Then we found out that the door skins are made in Australia, sent to Jeld Wen in Oregon where the doors are assembled & then sent to Millikin for finishing with frames, glass, etc.Talk about a run-around! Here we have a loaded stock ready for people like us. DSC000521.JPG Just before our tour of the factory began, we met Dan, from Nicktown, who has worked for Milliken for about 3 yrs & enjoys it. DSC000522.JPG                 On our return to Nicktown, we stopped @ Sherwin -Williams store, DSC000523.JPG for paint color samples. Then to Wal-Mart for groceries & West End Market for more groceries, a stop to refuel the Suzuki & a stop along the way to pay for our Real-Estate Taxes.

Dinner: Bacon mushroom burger with smothered onions on an English muffin & spicy roasted broccoli; yummy good.

Lights out: 10:49pm.
