Back at the house

More problems:  opening the door all we can see is a puddle of water. What now?
Well it appears that the seal on the dishwasher has let go. Water is actually still draining from it. Located a sponge mop and bucket and started to mop it up. No way! There is at least 1 1/2 to 2 in of water... Wonder if that is why there was a shop vac next to the washing machine?  Keeping our fingers crossed Russ dragged it into the kitchen and started sucking up water. After emptying the 6 gallon tank 3 times and sucking up the rest of the water in the dish washer we feel like we are gaining on it. We now have a damp clean floor but no more puddles.

Still cold... We had already heard from the owner earlier in the day that he could not get anyone in to fix the stove until Thursday. So we dragged the heaters into the kitchen to see if they could help dry things out a bit.

OK decision is made, we are packing up and out of here in the morning. To hungry and tired to move out tonight plus it is getting late. Time to make dinner.

Where's that bottle of wine I bought?

Grand Canyon Day

Dec. 1 -  Chilly this morning, frost on the car - house is in the 50s this morning. Getting ready for the canyon, packing extra layers of clothes just in case.

50 mile drive to the canyon, weather is getting better as we get closer. Sun is out and temp is climbing a bit. 

10:30 AM - High 40s no wind spectacular day here. Visibility 190 miles. Awesome day! And in front of us lies the canyon. 

Williams House

Sunday evening - we are trying to settle in to a small house in Williams, AZ. Cute place.

Hum! It is 54 outside and 52 inside. Just found out that we have no heat. The small gas stove that heats the house is not working. We found 2 small space heaters in the bedrooms not sure how good they will be. Owner says he is trying to get someone in on Monday to repair it. Guess it is going to be a cold night.

It is now up to 62. That's a little better.

6:00 PM - Oh my goodness now we are blowing fuses. Another call to the owner because we can't find the electrical box. While we're on the phone we'll also have to discuss the issue of no hot water in the bathroom. ***** Found the fuse box, it's in the back yard on the back of the house... Yup! Outside. One problem solved. Actually 2 problems solved, there is hot water the plumer reversed the lines... Hot is on the right!

Went to the grocery store for dinner items, cooking a chicken and veggies in the oven. Figured using the oven will help heat the house.
