All good things must end and this weekend isn't an exception. We managed to do most of the laundry and will finish it up tomorrow. Got some of the feeders filled to the delight of the birds and squirrels and managed to keep it to a relaxing weekend.
Yes, there are chores that should have gotten done (mulching and weeding comes to mind) but lately Mark's been super busy at work and has needed down time to unwind and recharge for the next week. While it hasn't been crazy for me I expect that to change as deadlines come screeching closer.
I did manage to get the first draft of my letter to Weather Master done, now to tone it down, I was a tad angry when I was writing it and it shows in the text. Calling the president of the company a scum sucking leech probably is not the best way to start off the letter, but it sure was fun writing it that way.
Managed to watch a truly awful disaster flick for dinner. It was so bad I can't even tell you the title, but they did plan on dropping a nuclear bomb to solve the problem.
I'm still amazed they haven't done that in the gulf. Of course with Rush telling us this is the result of eco-terrorism and it's all the nature lovers fault for not allowing drilling in ANWR that we have this little oil spill in the gulf. Not to mention there's no worry about clean up Nature will take care of it herself. Ok, enough with the preaching girl!!

New Covered Deck/porch
Well, I don't think I've mentioned it, but we're having a new covered porch added to the back of the house. It's not screened in, just a permanent cover allowing us to sit out on the deck in all kinds of weather. Ok, so we won't be able to sit out there in a hurricane but a good spring storm would work. We're going Blue Ribbon Residential Construction, the only remodeling specialist I would work with (http://blueribbonconstruction.blogspot.com/). We wanted to do both the back and add a porch to the front but because of unforeseen problems we can only do the back.
I didn't tell you about the that? OMG, well, let me back track, a few months ago we had a Home Inspector come out to do a check on the house, not that we're selling but to find out what things need to be done around that house that we wouldn't necessarily know about. You know, like the roof or insulation in the crawl space (you really think I'm crawling around under the house?). We had Certified Residential Inspector do the inspection for us and Ed did a great job. While there were little problems that we can repair over time the only big problem he discovered was when previous owners installed the attic stairs they cut the trusses. Why didn't the inspector note this when we brought the house???? Good question with no answer. To add to the fun, when WeatherMaster installed the AC unit in the attic, they cut trusses as well. If we didn't have to do these two job, we'd have a front porch. Needless to say, I am not amused. So to end my ranting, this weekend I'm working on a nice letter to WeatherMaster asking them to reimburse us for the repairs. What do you think my chances are that I can do a nice letter. hmmmm my thoughts exactly.
