Progress Report on Repairs

Peterson has our trailer torn apart, and we've moved into a motel. We're told that they may finish the work this week, but maybe not. The trailer is getting new rubber roofing over about the forward half. That work is being done in the factory in equipment used to put roofs on new rigs that are being built. We've been advised that our trailer might get bumped out if one of the new units they're building gets to the point of being ready for its roof. So we won't know for sure when our work will be done until it's almost finished.

Our time here may also be extended because of other work we've asked them about. Lee would like a pull-out shelf for her notebook computer in an open space under the counter of our entertainment center, along with a pair of doors to cover the space. They're going to give us an estimate for installing these, and then we'll decided whether or not to have them do the work. If we do, that might involve more time.

We've also asked them to replace the water hose that came with the hose reel built into the outside wall of the trailer. The original hose has a number of kinks in it, and we want to replace it. We don't think this should take a lot of time, but we'll see.

We're staying in a motel just a short walk down the highway from Peterson's buildings. We're happy that it's clean and everything in the room works. This town is small enough that one can't ask more than that.

If we're still in town this weekend, we'll probably take in some of the events in the annual Old Settlers' Day celebration. We'll probably go see the parade, and maybe the tractor show. And maybe the evening music presented by Clarke Buehling and The Skirtlifters.
