Once I got the garage cleaned up, I was ready to move the Model A from Carol's garage (where it has been for the past 18 months) into its new home. I then realized I did not have a key (not to the garage, but to the car itself). I could not remember if we had given all or some of the keys to Carol. T and I spent a considerable amount of time searching the house to no avail. The reason I really wanted to move the car today was that John (landscaping) had his crew here finishing up their work. They said they would be happy to help push the car into the new garage (it is not yet self powered). Carol works during the day and, most of the time, does not come home until 5:00 pm or 6:00 pm. Finally, just after lunch, I decided to call AAA and did so, telling them that I had lost my keys (totally true) and needed a locksmith. No problem, they arranged to have a locksmith come out around 4:00 pm. Unfortunately, John's crew left around 3:00 pm. To my delight, around 3:30 pm, Carol arrived home. She confirmed she had keys to the car and, it turns out, she had all the keys. I retrieved them and canceled the locksmith. Morgan (neighbor) offered to help me push the car. While strenuous, we were successful and Henry is now in his new home.
John's crew finished the back patio and worked around the pond. I don't believe they are done yet with the pond. I believe we still have a leak. Earlier in the week, I had sent John a note stating that I do not believe our exposed aggregate walkways had ever been acid washed and sealed. Since we are getting close to finishing this phase of the landscaping, I did not want this to be overlooked. John stopped by yesterday to assure me that the acid wash had been done, but not the sealing. I took issue with him regarding the acid wash and showed him several areas that did not look good. He brought Rodriquez over to confirm the acid washing had been done. Unfortunately for John, Rodriquez confirmed my belief that the acid wash had been not. John was not happy and apologized.
Wally also came by yesterday and resumed work on the irrigation and lighting systems. The lights are installed but all the electrical is not finished yet. He attempted to demonstrate the irrigation system to me, but several of the zones were frozen.
Today, it rained and is turning colder. Wally showed up today at 2:00 pm (a little early for him).
