Can you tell we're getting our house on the market?

When are you putting your house on the market? Not a super fun time to be selling a house right now.

Very nice! Bet you'll love it. And back to the Central time zone.

Unrelated, but I'm in Louisville now but can't make it east.

ousdahl, I'd ask to speak with 'the guy' you would be assisting. Is he a jerk? Does he want you on the ladder while he watches you work? Is he getting paid $70 while you are getting $20 (not that there is anything wrong with that). Do you have to listen to Fox radio? Is he only available when the sun is shining on the deck (i.e. hot)? Maybe he will hire you so that you only have one boss rather than two.
Make it a one-man job, use 'the man's' equipment, and take payment for the job rather than by the hour (IMO and if you are good at estimates).

I am always cool with getting a discount. My back and leg remind me daily that I will deserve a senior discount once they are available to me.

Queen Latifah as "The Equalizer" might be one of the most ridiculous castings ever.

Plano is moving to the Seattle area tomorrow

Really looking forward to the 90% reduction in Let’s Go Brandon bumper stickers and MAGA hats in North Idaho

hope you like traffic and drizzle.

and hope Seattle area doesn't include south of Seattle or you may see the same stickers and hats.



Why would one trade Courd'alene for Seattle? Courd'alene is so damn pretty and comparatively less full of people and urbanity (I know thats not word but I typed it and I like it)

I like water and Mountains.

And, the almost criminal amount of money I am being paid.

Coeur d’Alene is beautiful, no doubt.
But Western Washington is pretty freaking beautiful too
