Plans, Interrupted

When we headed back up to the land, we had big plans, mostly concerning countertops. But our efforts were quickly diverted.

First, a cold snap froze the water lines coming from our pipes. So we made a trip into Yarnell for some heat tape.

Gerald also built a temporary box to shelter the pipes from the elements a bit.

We had a list of things for J.C. to do the next day. But our recently installed propane heat stove, which had been working fine, decided to stop working. That meant another trip to Yarnell, and Gerald and J.C. spent most of the rest of the day fixing the heater.

It wasn't until the third day that Gerald finally got to work on the countertops.
