Although they said they were showing nine boxes in their inventory, they couldn't find it. Thanks Salinas Home Depot. They checked other stores and said... no stores in the area had it.<br />But I never settle for no.<br />I called them today and at first I was getting the same story. Then they transfer me to the pro desk. Come to find out, the inventory system was showing four boxes in the Gilroy store. So after getting a visual confirmation that Gilroy actually knew where their boxes were, I went up to Gilroy and now Robert is installing the replacement boards.<br />It's starting to be quite a mess though as he has to remove more to get to the replacement area because of the type of flooring this is. Happy Memorial Day to us!<br /></div><div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>C.C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16795307420847620085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834794912805306256.post-42836989603014600252008-05-25T12:20:00.000-07:002008-05-25T12:20:42.176-07:00Water Cooler Disaster<div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgt8c6tH16aHdby4nK83OfKl3knVMDkuA-OwmNtCC27Skrna96gNXOOjD6j1YlQu4rJXswpv6xsyP1EEfTFpGnt0C-YH05oM3ld8u-dNd9gXveI8ZPwLeki-TeguCYOc_QITvU4isdp_cH/s1600-h/DSC_0003-1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgt8c6tH16aHdby4nK83OfKl3knVMDkuA-OwmNtCC27Skrna96gNXOOjD6j1YlQu4rJXswpv6xsyP1EEfTFpGnt0C-YH05oM3ld8u-dNd9gXveI8ZPwLeki-TeguCYOc_QITvU4isdp_cH/s400/DSC_0003-1.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div>It doesn't look so bad on the surface... the wood is just starting to buckle.<br /><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVKpQueA0uF_F4RtURU0tDl4Bp8O_VFAzj4yhSbWjZeb1AbRy_sWrPqrpb9t6JdDiIdgL36mFLg7XrDVTcANezONuduWdmA_EPTJQ5KxBH-FQ-L67f5vxDHVAotRI2x4JJZbnjLIi20Vii/s1600-h/DSC_0005-1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVKpQueA0uF_F4RtURU0tDl4Bp8O_VFAzj4yhSbWjZeb1AbRy_sWrPqrpb9t6JdDiIdgL36mFLg7XrDVTcANezONuduWdmA_EPTJQ5KxBH-FQ-L67f5vxDHVAotRI2x4JJZbnjLIi20Vii/s400/DSC_0005-1.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_ZheWVXgoww9focVSGsUU4i-avXny_BGF74tzQDy7wkHJvhxqx9_PgbCzF9HERtgvbROsnX-acS4WM-L7eOtGx7ggAzomn72hGle0SLzO8WcXltjrJYEiciiTT0bXYA-l7isQhQTo6CIr/s1600-h/DSC_0011.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_ZheWVXgoww9focVSGsUU4i-avXny_BGF74tzQDy7wkHJvhxqx9_PgbCzF9HERtgvbROsnX-acS4WM-L7eOtGx7ggAzomn72hGle0SLzO8WcXltjrJYEiciiTT0bXYA-l7isQhQTo6CIr/s400/DSC_0011.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwCclTUujL8_KwmW-lvigZhmYRR7YxrpUas_2DxQkwo13BrMSghlRYtKMJ09m7c3gaysGkDRnyZvrRSMl6sleUfubcLnu_YHnC9zkOw4Ypi0o88VdyT8LTfM-Oxi2kRqPpwkmiwPdZthXa/s1600-h/DSC_0014-1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwCclTUujL8_KwmW-lvigZhmYRR7YxrpUas_2DxQkwo13BrMSghlRYtKMJ09m7c3gaysGkDRnyZvrRSMl6sleUfubcLnu_YHnC9zkOw4Ypi0o88VdyT8LTfM-Oxi2kRqPpwkmiwPdZthXa/s400/DSC_0014-1.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div>The damage...

It's pretty yucky back here. The gate at the front doesn't open up to the front yard but we discovered that this small fence will open and close to create some type of dog run or pin for keeping in some animal. It wouldn't have kept Pepper in, but we're guessing that's what it was for. Maybe one of these days I will have an "after" photo to post of this area. Wouldn't that be nice?

Finally. Now I just need to get the rest of the house painted and say good-bye to that awful green trim. Plan on another "after" photo with all the bushes removed and something new in the planter. Not sure when that day is coming but it's coming! Maybe 2009??<div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>C.C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16795307420847620085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834794912805306256.post-81342986560555992632008-04-15T17:37:00.000-07:002008-04-15T17:39:41.000-07:00Yard Work, etc.My digital cameras died last week so no photos to report; however, the bathroom we started a year ago is finally getting some attention again. Robert painted the ceiling yesterday and will hopefully touch up the wall paint and finish the trim work sometime this week. I will cross my fingers but not hold my breath.<br /><br />Today I did a small amount of yard work whacking some weeds that have grown over and trimming down a bush in the backyard. While the yard needs a major makeover, I know that's not happening anytime soon so a little maintainence will have to do in the meantime.<br /><br />Can't wait to get my new camera so I can take some photos of how things are looking around here.C.C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16795307420847620085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834794912805306256.post-26729789288655848882008-04-06T11:12:00.000-07:002008-04-06T11:13:00.584-07:00Window Trim<div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisCxQ_FX6OuTvbNdskRwlxmWGLrTC9XPgMS2tQHK4gQEWzWXKo3RYEtpVSG7mBT6_5mB_ZcdSRQU0GT_wTmIgrQK04fP5KFQ6KvhqPhDDoEzcCctoFooKvfbGIgYnfuk5U3k-Y-lgXaIxP/s1600-h/P1060788.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisCxQ_FX6OuTvbNdskRwlxmWGLrTC9XPgMS2tQHK4gQEWzWXKo3RYEtpVSG7mBT6_5mB_ZcdSRQU0GT_wTmIgrQK04fP5KFQ6KvhqPhDDoEzcCctoFooKvfbGIgYnfuk5U3k-Y-lgXaIxP/s400/P1060788.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div><br />This is the scene this morning....
