This week has seen some progress. As of now the pool is 99% "swimable." All we need are a few warm days to bring the temperature up. I'd like it better if the trees were down and the leaves not able to fall in the pool, but since Eloise the tractor is still out of commission, it won't be happening today.
I actually got the right ignition coil to get Eloise running but when I installed it one of the terminals snapped off. At least I got to turn over the engine with the new battery. First I've been able to do that in more than a year.
Most of this week's been spent on the Airstream, getting it ready to support us while we're building the rest of the house. There's a serious mystery with the fresh water system that I haven't figured out yet. Details to follow once I know what's going on. We have electricity for lights and battery charging, the gray water works. As soon as I get a backhoe on site we'll have a place to dump the black water. No major leaks that we've found so far.
Once I get the water issue resolved we'll figure out if the hot water heater works or not. And I'll need to install better electrical hookups to check on the refrigerator's operation.
Sal is packing up the house, we're hoping to get this taken care of in the next few weeks.
We're on our way!

Warm enough over here at school to fry an egg on a car! Did you know there were baby frogs in your window well. It was your window well - now morphed into a computer lab / Resource room. Have you seen it? Turtle was here all day yesterday. Loved his Attack Turtle sign!!
