working! That makes it really home. I
hate it with no phone/Internet.
Monday I called Qwest and played the
"elder" card. They hate to think of an
old lady in the mountains without a phone
and I can sound pretty plaintive when I
feel it might work. It did. Two
technicians showed up late afternoon and
said they had orders to get the phone at
204 Gold Run working NOW. They had to
use a different pole and were then going
to lay it on the ground, but Russell objected
so they attached it to a pine tree, above
the old chicken coop, aka garden shed and
then across the ground to our old Satellite
Dish pole and down to the house. What ever
works. They did say it would probably be
months before they installed a new pole
and got it off the ground.
I suggested that, while you're here, couldn't
you get my son's working, too. His line is
still up, but his phone goes from our line
down. They fixed Vernon's line, too. He's
now back in business.
The cleaners have taken away much of the
loose furnishings..pillows, drapes, bed
covers, etc, etc...bags and bags of stuff
to be cleaned. They have also brought in
air scrubbers, which are noisy, but do
seem to be doing the job. The smell is
almost gone.
It rained a little last night which, hopefully,
will lay some of the dust. The smell is worse,
though. Kind of like the difference between
dirty dog and dirty WET dog...ugh.
The Insurance Adjuster showed up today. I
think most of the cleaning will be covered and
some of the rebuilding of the two out buildings.
Of course we were under insured so will have to
Above: back of house; Left, Garden Shed; Below,
Solar Hut
domuch out of pocket...and Robert isn't sure how
much he wants to do. I think we'll rebuild
the horse barn as a place for the VAN. I'm
not sure whether he'll rebuild the Solar Hut.
Time will tell.
