Bugs And Critters
The "electricians" are humming right along and have the new inside breaker panel installed as well as a new entry box on the outside. The new conduit running upstairs for the oven is ready to have wire pulled and the holes hammered into the masonry to accommodate all of this have been patched. Once all has been completed, the bomberos-or fire department, will come to inspect, then the electric company will run the extra wire from the pole to give us 240 volts.
It's been raining in the afternoon the last couple of days, which has pushed me to work inside instead of in the yard. That is a good thing, as I need to get the living quarters ready for us to move into on Tuesday, but bad as all the little bug bites from my previous yard work have started to itch like crazy. There are all manner of 'bichos' flying and crawling around the immediate outback, and a quite a few of them apparently have a taste for human blood. In the once bitten-twice shy category, fifty or so bites are making it easy to avoid going back into the woods.
In other critter news the little lady found a scorpion in the bedroom yesterday. Before I could get there he, or she, skittered into a crack in the concrete. A bottle of Pino (Pine-Sol substitute) was available which we splashed into the hole, I stuck a letter opener inside and rooted around a bit, then we stuffed a wad of toilet paper into it to seal it up. I had very strange dreams last night.
