Thursday Morning

Good Morning Campers.

It is a little wet here in the tent this morning. It has been raining all night and is still chucking it down. I don't care. I don't have to drive over the bridge to work this morning...;-)

So..we have decided on which company to use for the Windows. This estimate came in $1300 less than the one we thought we were going with..the windows are the exact same ones and this is with an additional window. All other estimates forgot to include the window in the garage. I am feeling smug because this guy was my choice..hubby didn't even want to have yet another estimate but we are both glad we did. So in about 4-5 weeks we will have our new windows. Also replacing the fascia, gutters and soffit. then it's onto the Deck..that is a big project .. hubby is going to round up a few of his young studs..I mean sailors to help him out..  ;-) I shall be in charge of keeping them fed and supplying the ice cold beer.. of course they are welcome to bring their swimming trunks and go for a dip if they want to..wouldn't want them to get too hot and sweaty...;-)  Yes lads (Gaz and Ste) and ladies.. I will take pics....

Nothing much else to report... Ryan has 3 dentist appointments today.. one to take off his wires.. one to go get a check up and cleaning at his regular dentist and then back to have his wires put back on at the orthodontist... I shall take my book...

Have a good day...

It is cold and frosty here....just the way I like it!
When your young studs have finished with your deck, think you could send them over to do mine? Still haven't found a company we're happy with :o(
Have a great day.

Sounds like a little research went a long way on the windows.  Yes, we need pics of the sailors sweating!  Or swimming, whatever!  LOL  3 appointments sounds like a small nightmare to me.  Definately take a book!

well, to be honest, i DO want to see oily and sweaty half naked sailors, ok? So, get them over there, get them half drunk and start the pics. LOL

I am glad you are saving money.

Oh yes, those memories of wires.  My son, Bradley, had his braces off when he was 15.  He came home from soccer practice two weeks later with a wad of bloody paper towels in his hand.  My heart sunk when he opened his mouth.  All of his top front teeth had been either broken off or knocked out.  He was fooling around kicking the soccer ball with his coach.  Sigh.  

I'm glad you were tenacious about those windows.  Now everything will fall into place!
