Sister Update
Multiple updates...
She's purchased a motorcycle. Apparently she paid off some credit cards and such, and had some free money. So rather than save the money, or use it to pay on other bills, she bought a motorcycle. OK.
She's getting some work done on the outside of the house -- re-siding, etc... I think I've mentioned the fact that she has 20+ cats. Most of these cats live in the breezeway (an enclosed area that typically connects the house to a garage.). As you might imagine, this area is not the cleanest, best smelling area. 20+ cats, 5~6 cat litter pans, 12' x 8' enclosed area... Not a good combination.
Well, the contractors refused to work in that area until the cats were removed, and the area was cleaned up. Her solution was to purchase an outdoor shed. She'll just make that the temporary home for her cats.
7am one morning, she tells Jeff (remember he works during the evening/night so he's home during the day) that a dump truck is bringing a load of rocks around 8am or so.. Just have them dump the rocks in the middle to the stakes out back. (the stakes mark off a 20' x 20' area).
He does this, and goes back to bed.
Noon comes, and she wakes him up. Apparently they have to now spread the rocks over this 20' x 20' area before the shed is delivered. "When is the shed being delivered?" The answer - 1:30. Bear in mind that the ground where the rocks are to be spread has not been leveled (it's not a bad slope, but a slope nonetheless), nor has the grass been removed. With the help of the 6 contractors working on the house, they spread the stones just in time.
I'm waiting for the first heavy rain. I want to know how far the shed slides.
