    Happy Aniversary, Sandra.
    Yes, I'm having a lot more done than I thought I would be. Got all the window wells cleaned out and I got all the covers for them. We are going to look into working on my garage door opener tomorrow (just checking it out now to see if the old one can be fixed and used or not). The basement repair really needs done before that. I got cement to fix the big crack acrosss the porch and sidewalk right outside the back garage door and the big gap against the house between the patio and porch. That is about a 1 1/2 inch gap. I don't know how much I will be able to get done, but at least I'm being able to get a lot done that I haven't been able to get done before. Maybe this sewer back-up was a blessing.

    Thats terrible. I have been paying a little at a time, but not more than what we agreed upon. Well, had a second job atted on when the window wells were leaking and that was necessary since the leaking would ruin the drywall that was replaced. The garage door opener is so I can actually get that door open. Other than that would be whatever we discuss that can be done further.
    I hope your son can find a new crew without problems.

    I got my garage door opener and the old one has been taken down so things are ready for when Johnny can get it installed. A ittle different than what I wanted, but the other one has to be ordered for shipment from some other state. Who knows how long that would take nowadays. I'm looking at a couple other things that I might be able to get done, like the exhaust fan in the bathroom. Maybe I wouldn't freeze in there all the time if that would be replaced. Right now I have a hole in the ceiling. I still have to get a toilet and sink for downstairs, though.

    Hope you are all doing okay.

    I'm glad you were able to find another crew and are getting your construction done. With Johnny's other job he has been having some trouble getting much done right now. He has 3 days off next week, though, so will be working here those days. Of course, one day I have Bible study. His other job work days are 10 hours, so I can understand him getting tired.
    I've been trying to figure out how much tile I need for that bathroom. It looks like that will be over $100, They don't seem to have the kind of tile they used to have. So I wass looking at interlocking. The kind you have to use adhesive cost just as much, so I think interlocking will be easier for me.

    Everything is so expensive.
    The walkway is going to be nice when it is finished well worth the money we have to pay.
    I have taken pictures at different stages will post them soon
    What color tile are you going to get?

    I am thinking of getting a wood-look tile that even feels a lot like wood. I still have a lot to do on the walls, though. Handyman has said he will only do the 1st layer of mud for what he quoted and wants $200 more to get it to "paint ready." He wants $100 more to install the sink and toilet and $350 more to do the shower, which was just supposed to be putting in the new shower pan. Alltogether he has proposed $1550 more to finish the bathroom and bedroom, but $600 is for tiling which I said I would do and $100 (I think) for painting, which I also said I would do. I would have nothing left to get the other supplies needed to get the things done anyway.

    You have a lot of work to do. But you will get it done and will look beautiful when you are done. The tile sounds very nice.

    My walkway is looking great. I walked on it today to try it out even though it isn't paved yet. Going to be so much easier to get to the front door.

    Friday I had a great lunch that a friend took me too. Only problem was I ate too much. Then went to a Worship and Prayer night at our church. Oh, also saw a place by the Applebees we were at that has several different businesses in it and found a couple nice things. Got some magnetic bookmarks and a hanging thing with a saying on it for my friend's husband's birthday that is the end of this month. She took me to lunch on Saturday.

    Got a message from the handyman that he had to work all last week and will be back here on Tuesday (when he is supposed to have the day off). Hope that is right.

    Handyma has completely abandoned the job. Said he was coming at 4 different times this week and never showed. Now he won't answer my contacts. Has me so upset I want ice cream, but I've had some other sweets instead. I am out of control right now.

    I got up to 1 1/2 Metformin tablets o=for a couple days. Yesterday had problems though, so back to starting over. Darn it.

    Hope you are doing okay and have a blessed Easter weekwnd.

    So sorry to hear that Darlene you just can't depend on any one these days.

    Darlene I have edema in my left leg have to keep my foot at all times so It is hard to get to post on the computer and I had a shingles shot yesterday and I feel like a truck hit me.
    I had to leave a few of my groups.

    Sandra, I am sorry to hear that. Don't they have anything to help with the edema? I am glad that your diabetes problem seems to have steadied now. That shingles shot might be a problem with it, though, if it is stressing you. I hope that it stays steadier.

    I will probably be in trouble if I can ever get an appointment with my doctor. I tried and she was booked for a month and a half in, so I am on a wait list. I am trying to be better with things, but for today I did get some ice cream. I got an eye appointment, then remembered since I changed insurance companies and need a referrence to see the Retina specialist. So I messaged my doctor for one, but I haven't heard from her yet.
