Ron talked me into buying a bubble pistol for Bell, too.  Their Mom was clever enough to get the pistols to work.  Left a big bottle of bubble stuff in their yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We had burgers and CSA salad vegetables for lunch today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>James has invited another crew to work with him.  We came to terms on budget.  He found a major problem which he will fix: one of the headers didn&#8217;t reach all the way across.  Sort of like my legs that don&#8217;t go all the way up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how is a home inspector supposed to find something like that (rhetorical question); usual rationale: &#8220;old houses sink&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>James knocked down both of the eyesores in the yard!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A house up the street that listed for $275k a couple of days ago is already under agreement.  It has an acre of land.  Built in 1905.  Only one permit on file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A tech from Modern Pest was here today to check the bait boxes.  There was activity under the kitchen sink (not good) and in the smaller attic (not bad).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Went to Walmart yesterday for meds, again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pruned a pile of dead branches from the front bushes.  Did a quick transfer station run yesterday.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We figured out a billing issue Ron had with Harvard Pilgrim.  Turns out there was a premium outstanding since November 2021!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good news: we are getting $3,100 from the Zonite Trust for vermiculite removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To minimize disturbance to James, I&#8217;ve been working in the sunroom today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve celebrated with the boys, gave Bell an articulated wooden snake and a bubble pistol to Ben.
