those pesky estimates

Ah, the joys of being a homeowner! so that repair work on the siding i mentioned? today i heard the estimate from the electrician -- $2,600.00. Can you say OUCH!?

seems that since everything has to be replaced UP TO CODE, it's going to be a spendy adventure. that's okay, though. it will be done right. part of that expense is for the rental unit, so that's tax deductible. nice.

other than that -- it was W I N D Y all day. we did not play outside. it's still windy, but not too bad. and survivor is on tomorrow, so all will be well with the world. i'm making chili.

dinner at the Channel Club tonight with Kent and his mom and friends. visiting relatives = opportunities to dine out. please come visit! dinner at the channel club is lovely. i'd love to take you all there.

Ahh yes, home repairs... Turns out we need a new electrical box. Not cheap....

Got any good dinner recipes for me? Beef is on the menu. Just how to cook it and with what!

It seems as though anything to do with a house is pricey! We recently camped on the rim and it was 47 degrees during the day and windy!! The wind isn't so bad at 80 degrees. i'll be watching survivor tonight!
