    Good evening;
    Vix-we are having vinyl siding put on the house, a new roof, taking down the wall in between the kitchen and dining room, putting in a new kitchen window and replacing the window in the breezeway.

    Hi Joanne
    Is that a load bearing wall? If so I think I would request that they Photos showing the load bearing beam or I would want to be there. It sure does sound like a lot of work being done. You will end up with a whole new house!

    Cheers

    Vix-have fun at the baby shower.
    Roger-It is not a load bearing wall. We have lived in the house for 30 years, it is time for a makeover. :)
    Drizzly and cool here too.
    Today is packing and moving things out of the way for the contractor.

    The baby shower was a lot of fun. Saw all the girls and Moms, and there were a few babies there too. I'm going to miss you both Irene and Jo while you're gone, but I know you both need and deserve a wonderful vacation. I know you can't wait! :)
    I'm happy staying home for now, trying to relax and get back to feeling somewhat comfortable.

    Hi All
    I tested the weather this morning, said oh! 56 degrees, Then I went back in the house changed into long pants and a long sleeve shirt for this walk., thus out the door 10 minutes later than usual :)

    I walked to the Barber Shop and back home 4.8 miles round trip, I could not have done it if I had not had to sit and wait for someone ahead of me and during the haircut :)
    My Alternate plan was My Brother would pick me up if/when I ran out of steam. I suspect I will be tired later on today.

    Cheers

    Hi Joanne
    One of the homes on out block has a PODs in the driveway where they packed it and locked it up before the contractor started working.

    I think I have You beat, this house has been in the family since the 60s. As I remember the price for it, You might be able to get a cheap car for that amount now :) That tells You where inflation and home values are.

    While I was out walking I passed a 76 gas station priced at $1.87 and 9/10ths for the regular gas cash price.

    Good Luck

    Hi Irene
    At least it was not the heavy rain they had forecast here.

    I was OK in Cargo Shorts and a T-shirt until this morning, 56 degrees, Not happening with the breeze too. Jeans and a long sleeve shirt today, and even then my hands felt a little cold.

    Cheers

    It sounds as if You had a good weekend and are having a great day today too. My one goal for the day was a haircut.

    Good evening;
    Roger-That is a a great price for gas. 4.8 miles is awesome.
    Irene-They will start the work while we are away, but I think it will take more than 2 weeks to get all that work done.
    Vix-I am going to try and use my phone while I am away to keep in touch. I will post pictures to instagram and will try and post picts here with my sons help.
    Enjoy your evening. :)

    Nice walk, Roger! I had a really nice weekend. :) Hope you got a good haircut. :)
    Jo, that's fantastic. Hopefully they'll get a lot done while you're gone, at least inside the house, so you don't have to put up with all the mess, while you're in there. Even the work in the basement caused a lot of extra dust in my house. I'm so excited for you....only a couple more days! Have a great trip!!!
    Irene, only a few more days for you too! Yay! :)
    Have a good night everyone.

    Hi
    Another cool morning out during the walk. 1 degree cooler than Yesterday in a nearby town according to News12 a Cable Only NJ channel, They also do a News12 in NY FWIW. I think I have figured out an inexpensive way to rebuild the steps for the side porch. The Grass will need mowing later this week too :(

    Have a Great Tuesday

    Hi Joanne
    I could not have done it if I had not gone 2.3 miles to the Barber Shop than waited at the Diner on the corner, then walked to the bakery where I bought a Chocolate dipped with slivered Almonds Biscotti as a treat for my Brother and then back to the diner for more coffee until the barber shop opened up a little late, then 2.3 miles back to home. So I had two periods of sitting to recharge as a part of the walk :)

    Good Luck using the phone

    Hi Vix
    If I said it is a haircut, Short Regular. I'm happy, Now the hair is not over the top of the ears where it starts irritating me.

    I wonder why they have not put up clear plastic to contain the dust. I have seen that done on TV Shows when they work on a home to contain the dust.

    Cheers

    Hi all,
    Irene-quite a find, your reward for getting your exercise. :)
    Vix-thank you, we are leaving tomorrow night. I am all packed. All I have left to do is drop the cats off at the vets and meet with the contractor one last time. :)
    Roger-my son and I text all the time, so I don't think I will have any problem. My son is my go to guy for computer stuff, so I will have help is need be. :)
    Have a great evening. :)

    Roger, they did put plastic up and covered the air intake in the basement too. Some dust always slips through. They are actually very clean for contractors. :) It's nice that it's all coming together.
    Only had time for some glazing and painting in clay class today. But I've got another pumpkin, a flower pot and 2 bowls in the kiln for next week.
    Pretty gorgeous weather this week. I love when it cools down in the evenings. :)

    Hi
    I went walking at 5:23Am, 2.75 miles & 3 Cents. It is supposed to be warmer than Yesterday, My Hands still felt cold. I need to remember some light gloves for this type of weather. I also seem to walk faster when I am uncomfortable :)

    I was semi cold today as Yesterday I was a bit warm at the end of the walk so today I left off the Sweatshirt :(

    Have a Really Good Wednesday

    Hi Vix
    It will be time to bring out the Ceramic Pumpkin that mom did one year for Halloween, Then I need to try and remember where I put my little kettle. It uses ultrasonics to create a Fog on the surface. Somewhat like this one that I found on Google image search.

    Nice that You have a good contractor, I see some in my walking that leave a real mess!

    Hi Irene
    You are doing better than me at finding money, 3 Cents today for me.

    I had a itchy rash on my legs up to the knees one year that drove me crazy. I ended up putting the salve on them, wrapping them in saran wrap to keep the salve there under the pants art work so I Know how miserable You must be feeling.

    Good Luck, I hope it clears up quickly

    Hi all,
    Bon voyage, Jo....have a wonderful trip!
    Irene, sorry about the rash, hope it clears up soon. I get occasional rashes for no apparent reason, and it's so annoying!
    Roger, we've been really lucky so far. :) I actually made 2 pumpkins in my clay class....I glazed the 2nd one and it's in the kiln this week. It'll be nice to put tea light candles in them for Halloween. :)
    Went to my body flow class this morning....it's getting harder for me to keep up, but luckily I can modify most of the moves and make it easier so I can do some of it. Very important to keep moving. :)
    Enjoy the beautiful weather, everyone.
