Nice weekend - the end of house fixing is near!

Paul Chen has been our contractor- friend for a long time. January, our first house disaster of the year was a dislodged toilet. Ian and Sarah were visiting and the base of the upstairs toilet sprang a leak. It was dramatic and disgusting! That got fixed, then our sewer clogged. That got fixed. The end of January we had a dramatic rain storm. The porch upstairs, above our new expanded den, leaked into the den ceiling. Paul came, opened up the ceiling to see what was the source of the leak. At the end of day, the whole porch floor needed replacing. There's been a few extra fixes as well. I rarely demand much from Paul, but I really want to be able to sit on the porch tomorrow after work! The weather supposed to be lovely - I'm looking forward to it. Hope it works. Otherwise, I'll sit on the tiles!! Harumph.

A roof man was supposed to seal the porch tiles yesterday morning. He couldn't. We had our "dolly-tea-party" this morning. Basically, breakfast on a tray with the Sunday Papers. It's relaxing and lovely. We took walks. Wally was in doggy-heaven. Two walks a day. What could be better. Work tomorrow - Charlie to Seattle.
