Zelda Almost Energized

We went back over the mountain to Kings Mountain, NC to continue work on Zelda. Lynn, Brent and Cookie continued the work on laying tile in the kitchen. We were able to complete a total of 50% of the kitchen. Brent did spend some time with the electrician and he did meet with the Director and a Supervisor of Kings Mountain Electric.

They agreed to meet us at the house on Saturday, their day off, to discuss the permanent power hook-up of Zelda. We have decided on placing a poll in the front left side of the property and then run underground to the meter. It will occur this upcoming week and Zelda will have permanent power.

We also were pleasantly surprised to see the banister on the stairway had been installed. It looks just like the original and was installed in the new open area.

We do expect to finish the tile work in the kitchen next weekend and if the power is hooked-up, we most likely will stay Saturday night in Zelda.

We then traveled on to Raleigh, NC for the weekend to visit with Renee and Greg. We arrived safe and sound around 8:30 pm on Saturday night.

We also welcomed the newest Conley into the family this week. Leyton was born to our nephew and his wife in Baton Rouge, La, on September 2, 2009. He weighed 8lbs-110z, so he should keep up the family tradition of being an eater. Both mother and child are doing well and went home on Saturday.
