Drove by the house today and got the biggest surprise (to me) yet. I've got grass and a tree!
There was a light source inside, but I couldn't tell if that is because there's electricity or if it was a portable light. They were working inside, so I didn't go in to look at how things are looking.
On the bad side of things, I had to take my vehicle in to get it looked at. It started making noises yesterday, and I was hoping it was just the wheel bearing. That was the mechanic's first thought, which would have required the entire wheel hub to be replaced, since it's an all in one unit. So, my figuring $150 turned into $300. Then they call back and said the think it's actually the front drive shaft, and not the wheel bearing - so that job will be $550. Two weeks ago, it was the tires, which killed the garage door opener and the shower door. Now, this kills off the drill and any Christmas gifts, and narrows the amount I can afford for the movers to not more than $500.
This also means that all window coverings for the place will need to come from outside sources, as well as a drill to install them. I guess at the worst, I can buy some cheap sheets and hang those up until I get the fundage - sometime next year....
