Another week of pure bliss, living in our new retirement home. Kept busy installing handles on kitchen door and drawers. Caulked around the shower door to complete that installation. Helped Carole start organizing her studio.
We were surprised on Wednesday, while Carole was showering – the water went off (at the shower head) She shutoff the water at the shower control and shouted for me. I got there to see water everythere. She told me what happened, so I told her to stand in the master closet (adjacent wall). When I turned on the shower, she could hear water running in the closet wall, and water coming out from under the wall. The plumber was out the next day. Found an uncrimped PEX fitting. Problem solved.
We completed our move from the leased home, fully cleaned and ready for new tenants. Shortened the legs on barstools we have owned (and moved) since 1990. Had a couple homes over the last 43 years, where they were the correct heighth. Lowered them 6 inches, and they are perfect for this home.
Met with our new insurance agent to iron out details in the quote she provided last week. Indiana Farm Bureau insurance, was…. lacking (pick a subject). The timing for the change is perfect (and was planned): just moved into our new home and vehicle license plates are due next week. Installed towel racks and a shower caddy in our bathroom. Elected to ease into retirement by sleeping in a bit, then reading while enjoying morning coffee – think this will become a permanent strategy for my mornings going forward.
Still waiting for internet service, which will aslo be used to stream all the content for TV watching. Had an epiphany and purchased an OTA antenna. Used our neighbors wi-fi to access Amazon. Antenna arrived the next day. Assembled it and put it outside on the deck, aiming the antenna in the general direction of Indianapolis. Boom ! 39 channels with an awesome hi-def picture. Now we have local networks for weather and news.
