We are about finished with installing/fixing the trim at K&A's. I still have some pieces to install in the bathroom, one area will be a real bear because a 12" piece of trim will need to be cut into 3, maybe 4, mitered pieces.
Yesterday I was able to get the TV coax cable run down and out the wall so that now I can close up the old attic access with a piece of drywall. I told K&A that I don't tape drywall so they either need to try doing it or get someone else to do it. After the taping is done I can put up the last piece of crown molding in the living room. That will finish all the trim work in the kitchen, dining room and living room.
Kelsey wants a ceiling light installed above the dining room table. I think she is going to buy a light/fan unit that is operated by a remote control so that it won't be necessary to run wires for a switch. I told her I'm not going up into the attic, but I will give guidance <grin>, grandpa's are such crotchety old farts.
We did some exploring today. We will need to dump our tanks and fill our propane tank before leaving for Tyler, Texas on the 28th. We found a great camping area at Binder Park near Jefferson City where we think we can dump our tanks. They have some nice sites and only charge $15/night to stay there, with full hook-ups. It appears that they have numerous walking trials and we (actually Kathy) say lots of different types of birds. I was focused on evaluating whether or not we could get into some of the campsites, I'm unable to multitask. We still aren't sure where we can get the propane tank filled, but we have some leads.
We did a little more house hunting. We parked in front of the fantastic house on Woodlawn and walked around the block just to look at the neighborhood. Immediately south of the house the neighborhood doesn't appear to be that good, but on the other sides everything looked fine.

We really don't want to live in the city but this appears to be such an awesome home that we are having a tough time rejecting it. So far we have resisted the temptation to tour it but we are close to giving in.
It is priced above what we want to spend and we would have to build a garage (the carport just isn't acceptable), but the listing price is less than what we cleared on the sale of our home in Lebanon.
It is supposed to get down to 25 degrees tonight, with some snow flurries before morning. That will match our coldest night while living in the RV. After that the lows are forecast to be above freezing through next Tuesday night.
Time to say goodnight. May God bless you and yours.
