minutiae

If I told someone I would be somewhere "around 8:00 in the morning", I would be there within ten minutes of either side. The company who's cleaning the roof today apparently interprets it as meaning "anywhere between 8:00 and 8:59" and showed up at 8:50. I got up at 7:30 to make sure I'd be up when they got here -- guess I could have slept for

From my experience with contractors, you're lucky they showed up on the right *day*.

This is an outfit we've dealt with before and been happy with, so we figured we were okay there.

Scheduling was kind of an issue, I admit, since they initially said it would take three days and somebody would have to be home (to check for roof leakage) *all the time* for three days. One day I can do, but three is ridiculous. Happily, they came to their senses and conceded that one day would probably be okay.

Hey, at least there are no blueberries on the roof.

None we want to keep, anyway. :)

Huckleberries could be growing up there, for all I know. :)

I did just realize that I probably should have covered the workshop bed with a tarp or something, because the roses there are going to be covered with ick from the roof. Oh, well.
