It's 9:00 am and it's 40 degrees outside. Winter is officially here? 

I dunno but I just spent an hour doing "card compliance" - because I am going to be able to accept credit card payments on-site (either for a spot or for firewood or whatever) - I had to go through a very extensive list of questions specifically pointed at security and what I will do with any information once it's used. Get rid of it, frankly. I don't want to keep people's credit card information and it will only be input through the system - if Cardpointe stores it, that's on them.  

What a pain.  I get that they want users to do specific things when manually taking a card but my goodness.  Well, anyway, that is over with.  I don't know what the next step is.  The campground software person didn't really specify that- yet.  I'll be sending an email today asking when/how we are going to upload the actual software to the website.  I think that rep has to work with my web designer to get that done.  I know I will have nothing to do with it - because I know nothing about how that works and frankly, I don't want to learn.  It's a one-time deal.

I have the contractor nailed down to call or text me when he's (allegedly) heading over there today.  Specific things I would like them to do that I just don't want to continue to fool with. I did my best job, saved a ton of money and will pay for the rest.  I could probably fix the things that need fixing, but I feel like at $400 per day to rent the machine, I'm better off having an expert do it and it won't cost much more than that. Maybe a grand I'm thinking to do what I need done, which really isn't that much for an expert using a machine.  A couple of hours and they would be finished.  This way, the job is done right, we don't put down 28k worth of rock and then find out we have to move some of it to facilitate a repair that should have been done in the first place.

I have an electrician coming next week to see about hooking the shed up with power.  I'm not going to fool with high voltage under ground lines.  I'm good with circuit breaker panels and running line in the shed itself, but I have no experience with these much larger lines and how to attach to them, I'll leave that to an expert.  Of course, the expert isn't going to be cheap considering he'll have to dig down to the line and dig a trench to the shed. 

BUT, from where the line ends to the shed is maybe 40 feet.  It'll still cost a couple thousand dollars I'm guessing.  Once I get a quote I can decide what to do.  A couple of washers and dryers would really help getting people in there.  People don't want to go sit at a laundromat.  They'd rather take it to your place, load the machines, come back in an hour, repeat process.  I just should have had this included in the cost of running the line - but - I didn't know when I was going to get a shed or where I was going to place it.  

Future reference? Yes, figure out where it's going to go and just have a line run to that vicinity with a box sticking up out of the ground, same for sewer and water.  

Right now? Well, after this, I'm heading over there.  See how it is drying up and cut down that big tree and whatever else I can get done over there.  Oh and see if any of that seed I put down last week is sprouting.  The seed I just put down 2 days ago obviously isn't going to be sprouting quite yet. OH! And go to Tractor supply this afternoon to see if they did, indeed, get in a pallet of grass seed.

Off to the races.
