Fingers Crossed for Continued Good Luck

It’s 10:42pm. There hasn’t been a drop of water through our picture window since about 9:00am. Not being a carpenter, I don’t know if it’s due to the cold outside or the lack of snow on the roof (thanks to the two guys who shoveled) or some other factor. I really don’t care. I’m just thankful as all hell that the leak has stopped at least for now.

Fingers crossed for continued good luck.

I am So Sick of Winter

This started at about 8:30 this morning. On Monday I hired a contractor to shovel my roof. Today is Thursday and he hasn’t arrived yet. He probably won’t get here until next week. So much for that. I started calling around to every other contractor under the sun. I spoke to a few people early in the process who all but laughed when I asked if they could get here today. One guy said he could do it tomorrow. Another said he might be able to do it tomorrow. I kept calling around. Eventually I stopped getting answers and just got voice mails. I booked an appointment with the guy who said he could do it tomorrow.

This sucks. I am so seriously sick of this friggin’ winter.
