The Ten of Them – Chapter 2: A New Home

We also required holes for geothermal heat pump and they will return when the process needed to begin. I had to admit my engineering degree was beginning to pay for itself. A 40 year vapor barrier in place under rebar and steel beams created a framework within the concrete. Placement of several conduits to provide the electrical services throughout the home was completed. The plumbing installed and checked. A full inspection of conduits and plumbing was completed prior it being sealed within the concrete.

Kathryn didn’t get home until around five, the last of the trucks having removing stone finished maybe two hours ago. We spent an hour on her porch talking about everything that happened that week. I tell Kathryn about the new computer that I put together.

She tells me about the great jelly that she helped her grandmother made. How many buckets of blackberries they had to pick for the jelly. Her grandmother took her fishing, which is something Kathryn really enjoys too.

I tell her. “Kathryn if you enjoy fishing, I’ll bet you love fishing on my bass boat.”

Grinning Kathryn smugly says. “I bet that I catch more fish than you do.”

I think before I reply. “And what do I get if I win?”

Giggling she says. “The real question is, what do I get when I win?” She pulls me close kissing me. We make a date to go fishing, but her brothers overhear us and invite themselves along. Kathryn only squeezes my hand letting me know it’s okay. So the five of us are going fishing the following Saturday.

Authors Notes:

I like to apologize for any errors, but please remember you’re getting what you paid for. If you really want something perfect I’m sure you can find it, try Amazon, Barnes & Noble’s or any other major bookseller on the Internet but that isn’t free is it?

I’ve also not written this for grading by your amateur English lit professors, or for that matter the professional ones. I hope you’ve enjoyed it. I try to eliminate as many of the errors without becoming painstakingly hard about it. Yeah I hate making errors too.

I’m using Dragon natural speak in conjunction with Microsoft Word 2010. Dragon helps me write faster due to my poor typing. But it can make some easy errors and some that are hard to find. Dragon has a tendency to confuse words occasionally words like through and threw. If you notice the spelling of the word themselves is not incorrect therefore spelling check doesn’t find it. If you don’t believe me, paste my story into word yourself run it through your find are very few graphical errors that word finds. On one or two fragmented sentences. So please forgive these minor errors, let’s not get OCD about them.

Also this is fiction and I do use poetic license on some items. Like the state of North Carolina not a excepting homeschool from out-of-state. Before you say it I’m sure that’s not the case, but I needed to have JJ attend high school.
