I know that some of you do not get the Brookings Register but my brother was on the front page of Wednesday's issue. He just took a job with the city of Brookings as a code enforcement officer. He is given a certain area of town and he makes sure everyone is up to code like bushes are trimmed, lawns are mowed, old cars not sitting in yards and so on. He also inspects new construction homes making sure they are up too code. He is has a very big job and so far he is doing great!! He told me he sends out around 90 letters a day to Brookings citizens that are not in compliance with something. So way to go Greg!!
Not a very good copy of the article but you get the idea.
Well this weekend has come and gone already and not much to report except for a funny story about my brother (sorry Greg I have to share). Alright those of you who know my brother know that he is deathly scared of snakes!! I am serious, if he even comes close to one will run faster then lightening. When he was building his house they had poured the basement and where framing walls upstairs but Greg was working downstairs and I got a call from him freaking out because there were a few snakes in his basement. He wanted Jon to come over and get them out but he was not home so the guys building his house went down and get them out, so we teased him about that for a long time.
So on Saturday night he went to bed around 9pm and Kelsi was sitting on the couch watching a movie and around 10:30pm she heard Greg screaming and hitting something. She went in to check on him and he was losing it hitting his hand as hard as he could on the bed post thinking there was a snake on it and he was killing it. Then he ran in the bathroom and got up on the sink and was yelling so Kelsi was scard to death wondering what in the world was going on. She thought there was a snake and she wanted to call Jon to come and get it. Turns out Greg was sleep walking we think.....he claims it was real but we have all seen him sleep walk before. So Sunday morning his hand was black and blue and his fingernail was bleeding.
When Jon was telling me this story yesterday he was laughing so hard he was crying. Oh Greg we love you!
Since Jon and I have moved in with Greg he has been working on this project out on his deck and last night he finished it. When he built his house he added a nice big deck off the back and then just recently he added an area for his new hot tub. His old hot tub got struck by lightening so he has been dealing with the insurance company for about 6 months to get a new one. Finally last week his new hot tub was delivered. Once it was in and filled up he could continue the construction around it. Everything that you see he came up with and built, so last night he finished the whole thing including the floor around the hot tub. It looks awesome!! The whole deck is stained except for the floor around the hot tub so we will finish that this weekend. I am proud of him for finishing such a long drawn out project. Now you can see that I have taken the space over and have added my lawn furniture and flowers, wow was I excited to buy flowers this year!! Good job Greg it looks great!!
Thanks for visiting Healy Happenings and come back soon!
