Home improvement is happening
Jul. 5th, 2017 11:49 amThe guy from Standard Heating came and installed the replacement fan, and the house is gradually cooling down from 86 degrees F (currently at 84F). That was $500, plus the earlier visit for $99.
The yard work guy (John) has made significant inroads in the my front yard, which is actually the least of the problems, but it already looks so much better. He also suggested some extra work for an additional $300, which comes as no surprise whatsoever, but which I think will be worth it. He did what he calls a California cut on my (IIRC) arbor vitae, which looks much cleaner, but sort of weird, but I approved him doing it for the rest of the shrubbery. He's going to do my gutters as well, which definitely need it. My next-door neighbor had a chat with John, and is (according to John) entirely approving of what's going on.
This is going to be an expensive week (including Ron the Sewer Rat for $160 last week), but at least I'm seeing results.
