Well Bruce and his wife call me and asked if we could take a look?

This is a old Calgon water conditioner. Well he was telling me that they have not used this for many years. Asking if I could take it out? Well I called Mike and asked if this would be worth any thing? Bruce was thinking it might? Not really. So we started cutting lines. 

Got the unit out. Now what? Well as I kept looking at it. I think the taller pipe going back under the house. Well Bruce believes that pipe is dead. So I capped the main line to see what happens. Found out when you turn the water back on, there is no water going into the house. So cut the cap off and ran a pipe from the main line over to the taller pipe. Plus put in a main line valve. I forgot to take a final picture. But it works now.

Then Bruce asked if we could change out his water filters? So this one is under the kitchen sink. He only had one new filter. So I took the canister off and put it in. 

This one is for the ice maker in the refrigerator. Got it off with a strap wrench. It really was on there. 

By looking at the pieces of tape with the dates on. 10/08 These have not been off for over 10 years. Okay got it off. Put the canister back on so they will have water in the house. I took the filter out and going to Home Depot to get a new one. Mean while on the way, we dropped off the water conditioner at the land fill. Boy this baby was full of salt. We had to use two pales to empty the salt out, before we could pick it up. 

The weight was still heavy. Got it loaded and drove over the land fill and there was no charge. Not sure why? But went to Home Depot got the filter and wrench. Got back home and Bruce and his wife went to the doctor's for a appointment. So Friday morning Roy and I went over and put it in. It took me two tries to tighten it up. The reason I say that is. I got it on and asked Roy to turn the water back on. It was leaking a little bit. So I tighten a little more. all is well. 

Pretty much all day Friday I laid around and did nothing. But today is beach day. 

I found another UPS. I still not sure what UPS stands for???

I had a MRI appointment down in Fort Pierce. So I took a nice drive down Martin Luther King Drive. I saw the UPS sign going down the road. Thinking great this one is so much bigger. I will stop by on the way home. 

I got my MRI done and stopped by to check this place out. I walked up and down and just checking all the neat thing they have. 

I saw this and remember how my neighbor Roy and His wife love Green Mountain coffee. Plus they have the new coffee pot set. So I texted them and they asked for one case for now. 

As I was leaving I did find a couple of items. But I will be back. 

Okay now how can you go wrong with all these goodies? 

She made a mistake on the order but at the end I only paid $7.04 for all these goodies. 

I am so blessed to be poor enough to get these deals and Praise HIM. 

The reason I say that is, you have to be below a certain pay scale to get to buy at these prices. 

I drove down to Fort Lauderdale on Tuesday.

I really was happy to see the price of gas, $2.49.9 I think that is about the cheapest I have seen a long time. 

Okay why, driving to Ft Laud? Well my favorite dentist is down there an I need more work done. 

She did put the new crown on my one tooth. Then shot me with some Novacane in the area of another tooth that needs work done too. Well right after she shot the needles in that area. I noticed I was having some trouble swallowing. I felt like my throat was closing up. I even got scared. I told her and she said that it has happen before with others. It will be okay in a little while. Well I even ask to sit up and walk around a little. It just felt like I had something stuck in my throat. It was very hard not to think about it. So I told her I would come back another time. Just to let you know it took about three hours before I was normal again. (I know you are saying YOU NORMAL) 

Folks not sure but while she was pushing the needle in I could feel the liquid go down my throat. So I guess that is why the numbest started? 

I have another dentist appointment on Monday. 

Not sure but I am not sure? 

We started on this on Friday.

 Not sure why but I guess I didn't take any pictures on Friday? Oh well, it is Monday morning and we are ready to finish this up. Like I said before we had to build the storm door on Friday and put it in. That all went well. since we have done it before, on Ray's house. Today rip the old screens out and paint. The spline was not that easy to get out. It is the wider one and really stuck in the slots. But as we took our time, got it all out. Now painting. We finished that in about a hour or so. Left to go get some prices on windows for the neighbor next story. This way the paint will be dries when we get back. Which it was. 

Got back and started on the left hand side. Thinking under the gutter will be a problem to get my hand under there. Well it went pretty good. Got the two up over here. Now the back part. There is a angle on the top. We had some trouble trying to figure out how to get the screen nice and tight. It took us a couple of tries but it is up and looking pretty good. So finished that all up in about 2 hours or so. 

Today Wednesday we will be going back to touch up the paint and put the piston on the door. 

I stopped by Home Depot yesterday to get this right angle bracket. Now we can finish the job. 

It really is neat to see how our Lord works thing out. I have been concern  about jobs. 

You know I need to keep working and making a buck or two. Plus just enjoy working. Which this last week He has come thru again. We have a couple more to do this week. So not sure why I question His ability for providing? 

I guess He wants me to depend on Him and only Him. 

When was the last time you have been to Little Caesar's ?

Well I was driving along and saw the Little Caesar's signs. 

Wow, it has been many months maybe even years, since I have had their pizza. Why not give them a shot? 

With the two sides it only cost me $7.99 total. 

It really tasted pretty good and I am getting three (3) meals out this too. 

I get to drive south today to my dentist. Don't you wish that you had a dentist appointment? 

Hey I get excited about coming down to Fort Lauderdale to get my teeth worked on. But they are great and she gives me a break on the bill too. Today I get one more crown done. June 11th I got the root canal done. So she will finish me up today. 

Did you know? How excited I am about cleaning gutters?

Well yesterday we had two sets to clean out. At the end, my hands were not torn up like most times before. I have gotten smarter. I use a flat crow bar now to scoop out the junk. The reason I say all that is. These are not real gutters. The way they mount them on the carports. There is very little room to get your hands down there to scoop the leaves and junk out. So I use to wear gloves and still rip up my hands. But now, Praise HIM. 

Okay now what? Oh this is a car and oldies band playing in the back ground. 

They had this show on Friday night and last night too. 

I meet my group called Meeting Up here and sat around and talked and tried to get to know more of them. 

As I was driving away, I saw this beautiful GTO sitting there. Now that was worth the trip alone. 

So what do you have planned for today. Here the weather is beautiful and I plan on enjoying relaxing and laying around. I hope you do too. 

We get to do some more work on Friday.

This is Bill's home. He asked us to replace the kitchen faucet. 

A ceiling fan in the bedroom. Plus a couple of smaller jobs. Replace bulbs in kitchen light. 

Roy worked on the fan and I did the faucet. 

Getting the pipes off were easy. It was the plastic nuts that hold the faucet in. I used a small screw driver and tapped them with a hammer. 

Well we got the old ones out and all is done. 

Now this is a bigger job. Replace screen door and remove the old screens and replace them. Plus paint the frames where the screens go. So as we could paint.  It was about to rain. Which it did as we put the new screen door in. After wards we took the fan and faucet and the door to the land fill. On Thursday we dropped off some stuff at the land fill. 

It was a gutter and the pole we replaced at Joe's house last week. I knew we were going to the land fill, so why not take those two items with us? I tried one of my bandanas or skull caps to the end. For a flag. 

This is what I am talking about my hat we will say. Okay so as we pulled in to drop the gutter and pole off. I forgot about my bandana. So why not look as we are here already and see if it is still there? It was and I got it and that was worth the trip alone. $3.00 it cost to drop off what we had today.My skull cap cost me $3.00. It all worked out great. 

Well I really don't have much planned out for this week-end. but I know I will find something to do. 

It is so neat to walk away from a job and say I like it.

After we got the carpet down, Annie asked if we could redo her steps now? 

Sure it can happen. 

It was a real challenge around the poles and the water softener. 

The steps took me a little while, but they match and she loves them. This is Annie helping us clean up. Her son gave her this huge vacuum and it is heavy. (20#) She really doesn't like it at all. I tried to use it and it was not a fun job. 

While I was doing the steps, Roy painted the driveway.

Miss Annie thinks it looksgreat, so I am happy again. Right after we finished up the rains came. Prayerfully all is well. The paint felt dry before we left.
