T Minus Two

Two days until close. We're pretty well on track with most of the stuff we have control over. I'm still skittish about the circumstances with the porch and getting that permit, but I just don't think we're going to have the time and resources to bring that situation to 100% certainty before Friday. Additionally it's starting to look like the roof integration is going to be such a problem that we won't be able to build it as large as we wanted to anyway. We have 48 hours to figure out what we can, and neither one of us has time to do it.

Even though Liane gets out of school at 3:15 (officially) she is so consumed with so many things to do she almost never leaves before 4:00, and even then she drags home a pile of work to do. Perhaps the idiots I see on the TV yammering on about how few hours teachers work would like to come over and help grade papers. That would be rhetoric reserved for another blog, but we must remember that the major point of this move, the big reason we are spending all this money to move further away from town into an (only) incrementally better house is to cut down her long drive time to work, which is especially daunting at 6:00 AM on winter mornings with snow and ice covered roads.

Rant over.
