Happy Halloweens H

Today is Halloween and we are into the fall season. Today, we have to finish cleaning the floor to prepare for hardwood to be installed on Monday. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately?), we've had a lot of rain in the past few days. The water running off the roof above the master bedroom is over flowing over the gutter, hitting the deck, and some how coming inside under the wall or door. We have to get the floor dry before the hardwood is installed. I'm glad this is happening now BEFORE the hardwood is installed and then having to be repaired.

The deck railing is started, but the rain has delayed it's completion. The hot tub was to be delivered this week, but has been put off due to the rain. Some brick work has been delayed due to the rain. This has delayed the start of our drive way, too.

We are scheduled to close November 25, which is the day before Thanksgiving. Just over 3 weeks away. We have a lot of work to do and the weather isn't helping.

In the adoption world, we are not through review. That means our paperwork as been reviewed by the Chinese and there were no problems or questions with our application. So, we are still waiting. Still no speed up, but there is still hope.

Gas prices have jumped up to just over $2.50 a gallon. Unemployment is still terrible. And the public insurance option is back on the table.

Happy Halloween,
Tide Gal
