Had a new plumber over today- to unclog a drain and to check on the water heater. Cost me about $110 but I got my money's worth. Don't have to buy a new water heater now and he fixed my garbage disposal also ($200 value!) So, thats good.

Not sure what is going to happen with my garage. I'll have to check with the county and see what they need me to do. It may be a humongous deal (tearing down walls and pouring concrete) or it may be a small deal (make sure all the walls are structurally sound and have insulation). I'll keep you posted.

Need to fax my new engineer the violation papers and fax the insurance company receipts for my AC and electrical, neither of which I have yet....

Have to open all the boxes of laminate tonight, and started tearing up the rest of the carpet. Hall done, bedroom 3/4 done (my humongo bed is in the way), started on the living room also. Bought white and yellow paint last night- need to finish baseboards and hallway.

I'm having some trouble disposing of all the carpet. I just have too dang much of it and losing my garbage can isn't helping.
