We met with the man about FINALLY doing the debris removal yesterday. He is supposedly beginning as I type. I blow this popsicle stand in two hours, so we'll see how it's going this afternoon. If all goes as planned, the house will be gone, eight damaged trees removed, and a couple extra little jobs thrown in (pulling down part of the outbuilding that's ready to fall, flattening an old woodpile that's 98% picked through anyway, stuff like that). They will also cut a new driveway, prepare the ground for the new place, run the water/electric/cable lines (gonna bury them all...looks nicer), and when the time comes, install septic and rock the driveway. The price is quite reasonable, so we're pretty excited. It is nice to see some change at the site.
The double wide...we're still nitpicking details with the manufacturer. Mainly because they seem to have developed a deficiency in reading the English language. Thye want this and that sent to them, and i have no problem with that...as soon as they get the damn thing right. If I ask for a red truck and you bring me a green minivan, I ain't signin' shit.
We are taking a brief holiday over the weekend and getting the hell out of Dodge. We're going to stay somewhere close(r) to Pigeon Forge and wear some outlet stores OUT. Corning Ware, cookware, linens, housewares, books, clothing, glassware...it's all fair game. Other than replacing some of our stuff, the words "fire", "insurance", "depreciation", and "replacement" are verbotin.
