Tucson Spring Building - (Day 7)



3/28/13 (Thursday)  -  Weather: sunny and about 84 degree

We had elbow macaroni with ham for breakfast. Then I put all the dirty clothes into our cloth bags and put it in our truck.  We tried a new way to go to town. It has a few new houses along the road. I noticed the houses does not have any fence around the house. We passed by the Samrose Market located at the Camino Verde and Drexel Rd. with gas station, ($3.41/gallon for gasoline and they have propane for $2.99/gallon) which was cheaper that Circle K. on 22nd.


 We kept on driving and saw a Safeway (w. Valencia Rd.), and a coin laundry at the end and a Family Dollar. First we went in the Family Dollar to look for the shoe pad, we found one for $5; 2 Colgate Toothbrushes for $2 and 75W soft white light bulb for $1.  After that we went to Safeway and we bought 2 donuts and $1.99 badillo rolls  and lemonade.  

 Next we went to the laundry, there were several washing machines prices from $1.50; $2.00; $2.75; $3.50 and $4.50 and the dryer was all the same price $.25 for 6 minutes. I choose the $2.00 washing machines and I put in $1 to dry the clothes. You can eat inside the laundry and they have a clean bathroom. 

 
 


We put our clothes back to the truck and drove to the Lowe’s and get 5 more 3/4 thick T&G and 10 more good 2x4x96 studs that we could selected before we went back to our land. We had sandwich and lemonade for lunch. After Tom finished his food, he went inside the trailer and took a nap again. When he woke up, he went outside and started working on the land.  I was staying in the trailer and typing this journal, until I was almost finishing for the day. Then I went outside and help Tom leveled the building site, but we did not do a good job. Our post were all crooked. We had to fix most of the posts the next day, because it was getting dark outside.

 We went back inside the trailer and I start cooking Vermicelli (bean Thread) with shrimp; dumpling and vegetables. Then we have peanut desert and Tom went to take a shower.  After he finished, I cut up the apple for him to eat, while I was typing this journal until it was time for bed.
