Trouble inside the Logan House







In addition to the problem with water getting behind the stucco, we found that water has come in through a vent in the cold room and did some damage to some things we had stored in boxes. Actually, it was things that Darcy had stored in there. Most of the stuff was stuffed animals. We unboxed everything and laid it out around the basement to dry out. Check it out.

Trouble with Logan Home




We made a trip to Logan on 2/14 to check on water damage at our home there. Water is running down the roof to the flashing around the chimney. A flip out was not placed at the end of the flashing so the water ran down inside of the stucco instead of flipping it out into the gutter. We had a company come with their meters which showed it to be plenty wet inside. They removed portions of the stucco and verified that there is damage. We decided to have them put in the flip outs and cover it to keep additional water from coming in until it gets warmer. Then, we will cut out the side of the house and replace all the wet wood and insulation and have someone come in and re-stucco the outside.

Lost a Family Member


Well, we just lost a member of the family. We sold our truck which we have had for about 2 years. It was hard to let it go but because of the lousy gas mileage it got, it just set around and depreciated. So we put it on Craig's list and sold it to a gentleman from Prescott. We are now looking for another pickup but without the V-8, Quad cab and four wheel drive. We want a 6 cylinder, extended cab, 2 wheel drive. If anyone knows of a good deal, let us know.
