Been Two Days, Feels Like More

I sent a final list of expenses to our adjuster only two days ago, but boy, does it feel like at least a week has gone by since.

Yesterday, Fedex left the endorsed initial settlement check across the street, but no one lives there full-time to have received it. I only discovered this around 6:30, when I made a last check of the Fedex website and found the package had “been delivered”. But where?

Fortunately, Ron remembered that the truck had turned around in the neighbor’s driveway earlier in the day, so I dashed across the street in the dark to retrieve the check.

Ron drove us to the bank with 19 minutes to spare before it would have been too late to post.

I synched up with Ferg this morning and brought his check along with one for the painter to Edgewater.

Ferg was going to hang a new bedroom door and trim today, which finishes up the carpentry. The painter is planning to come back next week to do the bedroom and office.

Peter had great news: they got their preapproval and a very good fixed rate. Flooring should be in February 4, the installer is lined up, and the appraisal should be done shortly thereafter.

I attended a watercolor class at the Library. Liked the instructor very much, but found the process tedious.

Paid the remaining monthly bills. We walked around the block to check out the pruning Ron did at the bottom of our street. He called the DPW to request an inspection; we’re hoping they’ll come out tomorrow.
