Good afternoon!
Kathie, how scary that George had fallen like that & didn't even realize he was hurt....glad you were able to patch him up...did you get his insurance information before you left?
Lee, I hope there was a Starbucks drive thru at some point in your long trip yesterday....that's great news about Lu-Ann being released from the Dr.' s care!
Pat, I'm with you on UPS....you never know when they are going to show up....it was after 9pm the night they delivered the wine my brother sent....I'm glad it at least showed up for you & all in one piece. I haven't had a chance to check out their site yet, but $25 is a pretty good incentive to do so!
Dave, No sealer required on the driveway re-do...it's supposed to have built in bonding agents & stuff to hold it together...time will tell how long it lasts..you are lucky to have your own personal handy man with your nephew...good help is hard to find!
Went to Jane's early this morning as we had 2 more guys scheduled to come out & give her an estimate on putting up the pool...the first guy was supposed to be there at 9....as of 3:16 he still hasn't showed or called...I sent him a message at 9:45 saying...I guess 9 am didn't work for you after all....and have never received a response to that either...
While I was there I pressure washed the 2 small concrete areas outside her sliding glass doors & worked on re-doing her "red Neck" patio...5-6 yrs ago we cleared out the space between the 2 patio doors & put down a 12x17 ft piece of indoor outdoor carpet..edged with brick pavers....it held up pretty decent...except for a couple small spots that was peeling up a little. Jane would like to have a real patio poured but getting that done is 1. EXPENSIVE....and 2. Can't get anyone to show up & do it...so we decided to just buy another piece of carpet & replace it...so we did...got it laid out and the edgers all pressure washed so it's all fresh & pretty again. I'm going over Tues. to paint the small patio areas & will post a picture once it's all done...
The 3rd pool installer guy actually showed up just before noon as scheduled...he runs an irrigation company & also does above ground pools...he also does painting on the side...Nice young man...seemed to have a lot of hustle...but didn't talk down to us & seemed to know what he was talking about. He gave Jane a price that was less than half of what the first guy had told her sight unseen....we asked what his schedule looked like & he said if we call when the pool arrives he will get it installed within a day or 2 after we call...so Jane is a happy camper over that! AND he has a buddy who builds decks...so she is going to get a price from him on having a small deck built...there is no way Jane & Barb can shimmy up that little ladder to get into the pool.
Before I left today Jane also cut my hair for me, so now I feel all fresh & pretty again....and tired....I can't do outside projects at the same pace I used to anymore...enjoy the rest of the day all!!
