... there was a roofing contractor who smoked too much whacky tobacky. That would be the guy from AAPCO (via BJ's) that came out to the house today. After making a big production about telling me that he didn't have actually get on the roof to give an accurate estimate and how his company does all this stuff that other companies don't (when, in fact, they do) he does some math to give me the estimate.
...which is twice the most expensive quote we received.
At least the salesman had the brains to say he was embarrassed as he packed up his books and left.
With all the quotes in,
daecabhir and I made the decision to go ahead with the roofing. The materials should be delivered by the time I get back from Charm City.
Got a wee bit more done in the front yard flower bed so that now half the bed is done. That was all my body was going to allow.
The big chair that I purchased through Craigslist last year is now sold (for exactly what I paid for it) and will be picked up on Friday (Thanks to Mom who will be here to supervise).
Tomorrow is a travel day - off to Baltimore and my
daecabhir for the weekend.
