My next morning, ALONE, I staggered down and grabbed some coffee and toast, looking out at an empty pool deck listening to the quietness of the house. Checked the chlorinator, low but not enough to need attention. Looking around deciding where I was going to put my spa and the outside shower. Just going through the motions alone this morning.
Hearing a boat moving slowly down the river and looking up. It wasn't the water patrol, but just in case. Trudging up to the spare bedroom and bringing the boxes of pictures and stuff down to go through pictures. Remembering sitting here beside an almost naked Regan doing the same thing a few days ago. Scolding myself for bringing them all down when I found several in the first bit of the first box.
Heading down to the 'new' dock, finishing driving the rods I had started the day before into the river bed to stabilize the dock and putting in the other three that I hadn't placed yet. Smiling and waiving to asshole up on his patio with hands on hips and sweater hanging on his shoulders probably scowling.
I had most of the last one drove in, "Ahoy there!"
I turned to see a nice older boat pulling up to my dock with an older black man on the port side. "Howdy!"
He threw a rope to me and stepped off, the two younger guys staying on board. He stuck his hand out to shake, "Thought we'd stop and say hello to our new neighbor. Names Washington, Thomas Washington." He turned to the boys on the boat, "my boys Robert and Terry."
I grinned returning the strong hand shake, "Larry Throughgood."
He looked at me a moment then broke into a grin, "Lawrence and Tiffany's grandson?"
I raised my hands and grinned, "Guilty."
Man that man can talk. I learned about the entire history of the two properties. Learning that his grandfather and my great grandfather as young men did indeed partner up on the original acreage. A little scowl on his face describing needing to sell off bits and pieces over the years.
Asking about my plans for restoring the place, telling him about finding all the old pictures and him telling me of his interest in seeing them. Telling him about trying to find local contractors for the work and finding out Robert is an electrician and knows what other contractors to use and who to stay away from. Telling him about my run ins with the guy across the river.
He grinned, "Yeah, TJ was always so full of himself."
"Well so far I've been lucky in just fix and repair, but I'd really like to clean up the shore line a bit and make it look nice."
He put his hand on my shoulder with a big grin, "Well now sonny boy, there's more than one way to skin a cat on that one." He seemed almost beside himself on it.
"You go to the state waterway offices and try and get permits to make changes to the shore line and unless you have big bucks you'll be years in the process with TJ throwing what ever wrinkle he can in the mean time," nodding his head back across the river.
I slumped, not what I wanted to hear.
"But you go to the historical society route to restore the property to its original state and just happen to include the shore line in there some where, or better yet don't
exclude
it, and it will go pretty smoothly."
"Interesting!"
"I've always been an ask forgiveness instead of permission kind of guy when it comes to thing like that," nodding over his shoulder at TJ's property again with a big grin.
I got his and Robert's contact info and promised to keep in touch. Now I had something to think about.
I had quite the chuckle at a picture Regan sent me. Her standing outside her dorm flashing me her bikini clad body in a long coat in a snow storm. I sent her a message back, YOU SURE YOU WON'T GET OVER HEATED WITH ALL THAT ON UNDER YOUR COAT? ;-)
A while later I got back a picture of her bikini top pulled aside and a hard nipple up close. I grinned and took my shirt off and sent her a selfie with the boat and river in the back ground cupping my chest like I was cupping her tit.
A few minutes later I got a text back, OH THAT IS SOOOOO WRONG!
I chuckled and remembered them laying out by the pool and decided to do the female thing... and go shopping! Well kinda. I went shopping for a spa and a grill and the makings of an outdoor shower.
A quick peek in the 'basement' at the electrical panel and I shook my head. Somewhere along the way some one had raised the house enough to pour a five foot basement wall so you could at least stand stooping over, but the electrical had been patched and added to several times. I had TWO slots left in the panel to put my spa breakers into and it was maxed out. Add to that some of the old two wire circuits on sub panels and I knew what one of my next big projects was going to be.
So after a trip to several pool places I picked out my new spa, and sent a selfie standing in front of it to Regan. I picked out a new grill and my plumbing parts for the outdoor shower and headed home, the spa to be delivered tomorrow morning. I gave Robert a call and he would stop by this evening on his way home to take a quick look at the electrical.
I was half way through getting the electrical feed ran for the new spa when I got a text, CALL ME WHEN YOU'RE NOT BUSY. I got the feed ran out and laid down in the panel then went up to kick back and call Regan.
"Hey wild thing, how's it going up in the tundra?"
"ARGH! That was totally unfair sending me that picture of the spa. We've got six inches on the ground and expect another four over night."
I chuckled, "Mmmmm, definitely not bikini weather. So what's up?"
"Got a question for you."
"Shoot."
