Clean Bill of Health

We returned back home to Tennessee late Friday night. Brent's mom had a clean bill of health. The test showed no blockage and the doctor commented that she had the arteries of a twenty year old. She gives credit to eating Popeye's fried chicken at least twice a week.

We will be heading over to Zelda on Monday to work the entire week. If we have an internet connection, we should be able to update progress daily.
This picture of Brent's mom was taken during the visit after Greg and Renee's wedding in June of this year.

Back at Zelda

After one (1) week of cruising in the Caribbean, we made our way back to Zelda. We meet our electrician and yes, Zelda is electrified. We arrived on Friday and spent the night and returned back over the mountains on Saturday afternoon.


We will not be at Zelda this week as we are traveling down to Louisiana, as Brent's mom is having a probe of her heart being performed on Wednesday. There is no expectation of any problems, but it is an excuse to see family and our newest member Leyton.


This weekend, Brent installed a new pedestal sink in the downstairs bathroom and installed the hardware for the shower. Lynn caulked the shower on Saturday, so we now have a fully functional bathroom.



We are now down to the home stretch to finish out Zelda. There will be no more cutting, etc inside because of the dust. Brent expects to start laying down the finished hardwood floors soon and we will begin painting the outside. Look for a lot of progress to be made at Zelda this month.

Zelda is Electrified

We received word from our electrican on Wednesday afternoon, that the city of Kings Mountain had connected the permanent power. This is a huge milestone in bringing back life back to Zelda.

This will now allow us to stay in Zelda and work a lot more hours on the weekend. We will be on vacation next week, so our next scheduled trip to Zelda is the first weekend in October.
