8/15 Let the Bakersfield house projects begin

Let’s see how long it will be before we regret coming back to Bakersfield so early. We were told, when we started this adventure, we had to be back by September 15th for Madison and Marcus’s Birthday Party. If Kim was in the old house we probably would have stretched it out until then, but since they got the new house and there is so many little things need to be done Dave even got excited about coming here and working with his hands. Like I said, lets see how long before we regret it. TK

Last night before we left the house Dave had put up the new light fan but it wasn’t working so that was the 1st project. Kim and Danny were both at work and Marina was watching Marcus. After a couple hours we gave up and just knew the switch was broke and it would have to go back. We then headed for Lowes and Home Depot. Needed to get working on the electrical so we could get moved into the kids yard and get out of the RV Park.

We went to Lowe’s and got some of the electrical stuff we needed and the showers heads that we needed for Kim’s Rental. Forgot the renters had called and there was a problem with the shower heads so Danny had asked us to replace them. We got back at 2pm, Marcus was taking a nap so Marina left and Dave and I sat down and had a snack. We relaxed and cooled off while Marcus napped. Around 3:30 Dave took off and went to the rental house to replace the shower heads.

After Marcus got up he and I went out in the backyard to play, in the heat. Dave worked more on the electrical, just the set up not into the juice stuff yet. I had gotten the little pool out and filled it with water so Marcus played in the water and got soaking wet, it was fun. Danny got home a little after 6pm and Madison didn’t want to come outside with us, too hot, plus, she was tired after being at school all day.

Marcus wanted back into the house so I took off his clothes and diaper and had him stand on their little table and hosed him off, he was muddy. Dave went and got a towel so when I was done hosing him off I handed him off to Dave. Danny and I went inside after that and cooled off. Danny and Dave went and picked up pizza for dinner at Costco, Kim is at work, then Dave and I headed back to the RV.
