Experienced Decorators

We have finished our first week on this project.  Paige and another NOMAD have learned the hard way just how many different styles of Christmas lights there are.  They have been inspecting used strings, replacing dead bulbs (when possible), and staging the good strings for a crew of installers.  They've rejuvenated 4 deer so that they have all their lights and motion controls working again.  Here is Elizabeth with a completed deer.

Bob has been part of the electrical crew: installing switched outlets on many of the buildings around the grounds.  The south half of the grounds are almost done.  They have done a couple of special projects, like re-wiring the building which will be used as a concession stand this weekend.

We do more than work together - we have also had some meals and snacks together as a group - here on site, as well as at a couple of local restaurants.  It's a great group of 5 couples to work with!

The property is at the very edge of town, and heavily wooded.  Here is a picture of one of our "visitors" (notice the ears):
      
The weather has been pretty good early in the week, but turned downright frosty the past few mornings.  Today, Friday, the temps got back into the 60's, and it is supposed to be even warmer into the first part of the coming week.  We took advantage of the weather and got in a nice motorcycle ride.  Very pretty today with the leaves turning color and all the curvy and hilly roads.  Nice to take some time to enjoy this area!
