13 August 2014

As forecast, a totally rainy no-outside-work day.  Sean came for a few hours in the morning to assign Goodro’s expenditures and Goose Creek labor to categories in the house budget.  Once I update the spreadsheet, we will be able to tell, reasonably accurately, how far building the roof is over budget… and, as a consequence, whether or not I’ll be able to afford a divorce lawyer.  Up to Burlington in the afternoon to spend money at Lowe’s (why else would you go to Burlington?), install a new kitchen light in our condo, and visit Trowel Trades emporium to select white brick for the top of the house chimney.  Did you know that there are 525 bricks in a “cube” (which is the minimum special order, even though the quoted price is per brick)?  Dinner with Alverta, which was a bagged-lunch, ‘cause once a year the retirement community owners treat the staff to a dinner cruise on Lake Champlain.  Hope they brought their galoshes…
