Day 3249

 I woke up at 7:30 and played games until 8.  Then it was up for pet stuff and breakfast.  After that I surfed until 9 when the repair guys showed up.  They got right to work on the bedroom slide.

Apparently it was a little difficult to repair the slide due to the tight clearance between one side of the slide and the shower stall.  They spent hours getting things to work.  They got it done though and it works well now.  When they were finished they started switching the microwave.

They to the old one out fairly easily.  The new one was a pain in the ass.  It didn't have the same mounting type as the old one.  They had to drill holes in the roof of the slide.  They also had to go to ACE to get longer mounting bolts.  Finally they had to line up the holes in the slide with the mounting holed in the top of the microwave.  It was a long, difficult process.  They got it done though.  All in all it took them 6 hours to do everything.  I thought the $1,100 cost was reasonable.  

I looked over the recall info from Grand Design.  The refrigerator fix is a pain in the ass.  I looked at the back of the refrigerator.  It appears to me that the wire is already secured pretty well.  The repair guys didn't want to do it and I didn't push them.  I'll have them do it next time we're through here.

While The repair was going on Ellen and I started cleaning the trailer.  Ellen did the stove and the refrigerator.  I wiped down all of the woodwork in the living room and kitchen.  I also cleaned the marks off the ceiling and cleaned the glass in the drawers.  That leaves only the bathroom and bedroom to clean.

After the repair guys were done I drained the tanks.  Then I put my clothes back in the closet (Ellen did her's) and I put the boxes in the basement.

At 4:30 we went to a get together at the clubhouse.  We were the only ones there.  We talked with the club people for a while and then left.  We went back to the trailer and got Abby. We took her to the park.  She had a great time chasing birds.  Several other dogs came and she had more fun playing with them.  Finally I brought a box for her to tear up.

Abby had gotten filthy at the park.  We gave her a bath on the way back to the trailer.

Dinner was TV dinners.  The new microwave works well.  After dinner was videos.

It's wonderful to have a working bedroom slide again.
