I'm going to get on the roof of the thing and check out the AC unit - after I find out whether the circuit breaker has tripped inside the RV.  I didn't check it because it was hot in there and I had had enough of the heat.  It could be dirty coils that are overheating the thing and causing it to shut down.  Overloading the circuit, in other words.  It was working for quite a while. Might as well try the things I know to do before calling out service repair people.  I'm trying to keep the expenditure on this to a minimum.  Get the ac working and I can probably figure out what's going on with the lights.  

Those are the 2 known issues.  The rest is minor cosmetics and needing a deep cleaning and airing out.  I really don't think beyond the AC that it's going to take much to make this thing livable.

Guess I should have done my homework a little better on planting grass. Turns out I should have started summer grass many months ago.  March would have been optimal.  Now? Is not so optimal, not the correct time of year to be trying to plant it.  At least from everything I'm reading from the pro's.  I don't know that that's going to stop me from at least trying to grow some grass on a few spots and see what happens, but I was correct that preparing the soil is absolutely necessary.

Including tilling the soil.  I'm back on the seeding thing because I talked with the tenting man yesterday and he seemed to agree to doing the work.  I mean, if these people don't either start working or paying, they are leaving.  

Just another hot day in East Texas, I will be all over that RV today looking for the circuit breaker panels.  There should be one for interior 12 volt and another for the regular outlets. I dunno,I'm just going to take my drill in there and plug it into outlets and see if there is power.  If there is, at least the thing is powered up and possibly the AC is a localized problem, not an entire RV problem.  

Who knows.  I will just get busy trying to save money paying someone to come find the problem for me, but if it turns out to be the AC unit itself, I can do limited actions to try and fix it. After that? I either just install window AC units or pay a pro to come out and find out what's wrong.  The pro may very well come back and say it needs a new roof unit -which is where I would go buy a 12,000 BTU unit, pull the 8,000 one out of the shed, install that in the RV and put the 12,000 in the shed.  

I've pretty much decided that I will take either option.  Sell it on payments or rent it, whichever comes first.  I need my money back out of it.  

I think James is going over there today as well to continue work on the mudding. Not sure about that, that coming from Taylor yesterday. Typically, James works a 4 day work week.  

I'm not going to spend a lot of time with this entry, it's time to get out there and get on the roof of that rv before it gets blazing hot.  It will be hot anyway, but by mid afternoon, it gets ridiculous.  I was burning up yesterday, I'm sure I'll be burning up today.  Life in hot country.  Heat index values expected up to 112 today.  

I mean, I guess expect this for the rest of summer? This is what is causing me to scratch my head about planting seed. Some of the sites say you need to water new seed up to 4 times a day!  Besides a LOT of watering, that is going to jack my water bill up pretty good.  

I got irritated yesterday - sorry, I'm just human - after seeing that lady in there for hours yesterday and texted her. Sorry, I can't have you taking over my shed for hours out of every day. It drives others away from doing their laundry.  She didn't complain, said she understood and left.  I don't know how many times or how many different ways I have to say it to her.  I can see an hour in there charging stuff.  Maybe twice a day, once in the day light and once at night.  But to spend the entire afternoon in there?

People simply don't want to contend with her - or anyone really - when going in there to do laundry.  She still contends the dog was just trying to find her when the other guest found the dog in the bathroom with the door closed.  Do dogs open and shut doors? Better question: can a dog input a 4 digit code on a small keypad, then open the door, shut it then go to the bathroom, open that door and shut it as well?

Hypothetical question?  Obviously it cannot.  I didn't take her to task on that explanation, it was obviously a fabrication (lie) and she could have just been up front about it. It annoys me even more when people won't just tell the truth about something simple. Plain and simple: I do not want the dog in the shed, AT ALL and CERTAINLY not being left alone in the bathroom. Especially a dog that growls at people.  Screw that.  I've been pretty on top of this situation with them.  We'll see if they ever come into line with my wishes.  It won't be much longer, tho, if they don't do any work and they don't pay, they will leave. I'm giving it til Saturday, which is tomorrow and also marks a week that they have been there.

Speaking of Saturday, the little monsters are coming home.  I actually had a lady take me to task for calling them little monsters a while back. It was a joke, ma'am. She didn't care, she wanted to tell me about myself. No thank you!  Have a nice day! C'ya! Okay, the kids are coming home, does that make y'all happier?  I've thoroughly enjoyed the time away from them.  It was getting pretty tense in this house with the power off for 7 days and everyone crammed into bedrooms.  And generally it's summer time so the kids get bored and start asking the adults what to do?  I'm bored. 

Find something to do. Toys, play outside, watch tv.  

I've been looking for those elusive snakes every single day, a couple of times a day.  I don't know where they're hiding but it's a good hiding spot.  I monitor the pond every day as well.  I tell Addler to "go find the snakes!".  He just gives me a look, lmao.  When we had the water snakes in the back yard a few years ago, he didn't bother them even when they were laying out in the open right there for everyone to see.  

Well enough. Time to go heat up, sweat profusely and try to figure some things out.

G'day
