Gutters Are Reinforced and Cleaned

Well, since we have now moved closer to Tennessee, we are able to spend more time at The Ridge.  Over the past few weekends, we have strengthed and cleaned out the gutters such that now there is no overflow of water in the gutters.  Last weekend, we attended the UT football game in Knoxville.  During the pregame, an unexpected storm quickly formed and we had to evacuate the stadium for about an hour.  That storm headed to Gatlinburg, and Sunday, Brent had to clear off some down tree limbs off the roof.  While on the roof, he also cleaned out the back gutters. 

During the weekend, we saw three (3) bear cubs with their mom.  They came down the bear path next to the house.  It was quite comical as two (2) of the cubs were wrestling and rolled down the hill.  One (1) of the cubs pulled up our termite inspection trap and then walked away.

We installed a temporary light in the kitchen to help with the poor lighting.  Being this close, we expect to perform alot of work on The Ridge during the nexf few months.
