Bragging on Kendall

Well, Kendall is happy right now for a couple reasons. First of all, he passed electrical inspection! He has worked so hard on that. The inspector is only in town twice a month, 2 days each time. So Kendall worked like crzy to be ready in time for yesterday's inspection. He has been very busy. Friday night he was quite discouraged, but Saturday had several people out helping him. He felt much more encouraged by Saturday night. Kendall worked at the hospital Saturday and Sunday nights, but was back out at the house Monday afternoon with Delton.

Tuesday morning the inspector showed up. He looked around a bit, then said, "Where did you get these wires?" The answer was "In the U.S." The inspector: "Oh no. This isn't good." He went on to say that they didn't have something important printed on them. He let Kendall know that he has already seen a job site like that where everything had to be pulled out. He reminded Kendall that this was not good. Then he went out to call his supervisor. Delton was in the corner praying. Kendall was making a decision to throw in the towel and sell the house as-is. Then the inspector walked back in and passed it!!!

Yay! Kendall was so happy. He told me that he felt like he had just passed his NCLEX again. (That was the test to get his nursing license and he did cry that time.) Kendall said that the past month of lying awake from 5-7am had just paid off.

So, to celebrate, Kendall went off to enjoy the last day of moose hunting season today. And that brings me to the second reason Kendall is so happy today: A few minutes ago I got a call from my mighty hunter. He told me he just got a moose. "Yay!" I said. Then he said he just got TWO moose. "Oh no!" I said. I see much bloody butchering in my future...

And, to clarify, he went hunting with his friend, Keith. They filled both tags, so yes, it was legal for him to take both moose. Yay for 2 freezers full of meat!

It was interesting to hear Delton's version of the electrical inspection story! Glad it had a happy ending!

Congratulations. And about the house--one step closer to moving in!!

That is great! It makes me think it would be worth driving up there to eat moose meat. (We'd probably visit too) Dave
