Siding

We had thought we found someone to do our siding for us, but he never showed up to do the work and we couldn't reach him. Meanwhile, we had the material on site and needed to get it up. So Gerald and I spent the next weekend installing siding. Our plan was to install all the siding along the bottom before renting a man lift for what we could not reach from the ground.

The work went quickly. At the end of two days, we had installed all the low siding along the back wall of the house.



We had gotten a disturbing call in the middle of the week concerning our stove. We had bought an Aga stove from Arizona Home Centers several months ago. Because it was a floor display, we got quite a good deal on it. Even better, they said there was no hurry in having it delivered.

Then we got a call to say that they were going out of business. They wanted to know if they could deliver the stove Friday or Saturday. We set it up for Friday, but no one came and all the numbers had been disconnected.

On Saturday, we got a call from someone in Prescott Valley who said he had our stove in his garage. Apparently, the receivership happened faster than they had expected and they weren't able to get everything delivered. Some appliances didn't make it out at all, so we felt grateful that our stove did. Gerald and I picked it up, and J.C. helped unload. It was very heavy.
