At 4 o’clock in the morning the mouse decided that a bite of cheddar was just what it needed.  He/she now resides under a stump at the Silver Lake parking lot… two miles from here.  Two other major milestones today: the shed electrical wiring and the roof are complete.  Roof looks great!  And the lights and outlets all work. Alverta arrived about 12:30 with the condo checkbook, which isn’t balancing.  After an hour’s head scratching, it still doesn’t balance, but at least we know to within a couple hundred dollars how much money is in the account.  She and I then applied primer to the people door, door casement, and vertical trim on the north wall.  After lathering up completely, lost water pressure in the shower… and the water pump really is sounding sick.  Have you ever had to towel off still covered with soap?  Delores, obviously, is still in payback mode…
