Got the key yesterday! Celebrated with friends, and took one out for a visit to the house last evening, first time there unsupervised by realtor etc. There is always a wonderful peaceful vibe in the house and back yard, stillness plus a few bird sounds.
Someone at the power company quietly fixed the database issue. So when I tried the website again, it did work and they did switch over the power.
Continued the search for a bedframe at the local antique 'mercantile', but there were few and very elaborate. But, they had a nice bookshelf, which will be loaded into the cargo trailer today along with some stuff from storage.
Off I go, to scoot over to storage before the sun gets too high above the horizon.
