Ah, my favorite "weird sh*t" thread is back! Val, you have much stronger nerves than I do if you can sit down at the 'puter and post about this
stuff *as it's happening.*
So fill us in--is this the first occurrence since your last group of postings?
Things have been very quiet around here for quite some time. First occurrence in almost a year (worth speaking of) was the post about the dogs going
freakazoid at the internal door. The rest of the story on this is that Springer was extremely ill that night and due to fever and meds started
hallucinating earlier in the night. He had been laying on the couch and started seeing "some one" standing in the internal door (to be quite honest
he said, and I quote "the devil is standing there staring at me". He described a man with white eyes (no pupils) and it was really freaky and
eventually he came out of the fever and all that and couldn't even remember his mutterings afterwards.
The strange thing is while this was going on the dogs were in the room. Not once did they become agitated by anything. It was later in the night,
when Springer had already gone to bed and I was upstairs at the computer that they start freaking out, growling and barking and run down the stairs.
When I got down there, both dogs were barking at the same door Springer had "seen the visitor" in while in his fever.
That was the first occurrence in months and months. Now this. To be quite honest, I learned a long time ago when I was up here by myself that
getting on this thread and talking about things actually makes me feel better. LOL...this morning I was so freaked out (and Springer was still asleep
- but was woke up both times the dogs barked, just didn't get out of bed), that I just wanted to be talking to you guys!
Concerning the questions on the rennovations. We have done A LOT. We have completely busted out all the brick skirting and have had the west and
east sides of the house leveled. We closed in the crawl space with plywood for the time being because we have to do re-wiring, re-plumbing and re-air
conditioning that will require access.
We have put new windows all in the bottom portion of the front of the house, have completely redone all the porch columns and porch trim below the
porch roofline. We are waiting on the new front door and will get it installed. We are ordering the new siding right now and will start residing
soon.
Inside, we have been putting the house actually back more the way it was when it was originally built by undoing really bad "remuddling" things that
have been done to the house over the years. Lots of hard work with real slow progress as far as seeing things accomplished. Every time we think
we're about to get a certain thing finished, we uncover a major problem that adds 14 other things that need to be fixed. THE MONEY PIT!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, back to this morning. The occurence ended up happening only the 2 times, and it was pretty weird. Maybe we're coming into some phase or
something.
