#1- Just because I feel ok (not great, just ok) about using the word "date" does not mean one bit more than that.
#2- The inspection did finally happen today. I love you all but I really can't abide saying the same thing 11 times so here it is. I do still want all of your opinions and advice, just maybe not in a long phone call format. I'm in a mood, I'm sorry.
The roof has issues, needs steroids and some metal. Much like my spine.
The inside is hideous but can be covered. The walls with drywall, the floor maybe with Gypcrete and some tile.
Insulation is a must. The attic space is at about R-11 and should be about R-45 and the crawl space has nothing. Roger dear, how did you survive?
Cabinetry is a lost cause. Like it would make me feel good to take a sledge hammer to it.
At least 3 new windows.
A new water heater.
Foundation is inventive but solid.
All this really starts to add up so I've talked to the old Stagecoach about a personal loan. Options folks, gotta explore the options.
I can tackle it, learn a lot, curse, cry and beat up inanimate objects or I can forget it and be safe. I'm not really sure. Figured I'd have a strong drink, a hot shower and a fitful night of sleep before I even pretend to think clearly. BTW, whiskey and cola tastes a lot like bad decisions. Well, that and whitewater rafting trips where I almost die.
I had a great day yesterday and will post about my field trip soon. I really do have the best job in the universe.

He didn't. But you would! :-)
I use the word date when I have plans with my girlfriends. I have dates w/ you. It is fine to say date. Date date date
Oh yeah and I'll use my vacation days to come help but there better be some stuff left for me to hit w/ a sledge hammer
