Jim started installing the door panel in the door frame today - looks beautiful!  He has some special stainless steel hardware on order that he's going to wait for to do final assembly.

Today was our scheduled treadmill pickup.  However, the dispatcher called Jim a few days ago and said that they are so busy they may not be able to work it in.  If not, it wouldn't be until January.  The weather and driveway are good right now, so we kept our fingers crossed that they would come today.  Jim got the treadmill all ready - tied up the deck, wrapped the cord, attached the manual...

Good thing we still have the trusty old treadmill!  Jim moved it back into position so we can use that until the new one comes...

About 3:45, Jim got a call that the drivers were on their way - yay!  Now the next question would be whether they could get up the hill.  Jim told them that he had the Bobcat ready to go in case they couldn't - he had to disconnect the snowblower, go pick up the bucket, and get it ready to go in the driveway.  

But they got up - they said they had a few issues but they did it.  Loading it up...

Once they were gone, Jim had to take the trash down.  They have canceled our last two weeks' pickups because of the weather so we definitely had full bins!

With his remaining time, Jim did some tile cutting - working on the pieces around the receptacle here...

While we were waiting for the truck, just had to take a picture of the sky - sun setting and pink at the horizon with the moon above the trees.  Just never get tired of this view!
