Thanksgiving


We had Thanksgiving at our house as usual since it's my favorite holiday. We thought we would take a break and celebrate with our great families. We had a good time (even though it snowed and we were thinking of our uncovered roof getting all wet again). The roofer (Valley Roofing) left with the roof only half covered with weather guard because he ran out and he hasn't been back since. We left him an unpleasant message on Saturday. A recession? People out of work and desperate? Not in NJ. We've gotten sky high prices from just about everyone, contractors not bothering to show up and jobs left half finished. We were at the house this weekend putting spray on foam insulation in the crevices between the roof and the stone just trying to keep it dry inside until our contractor comes back. The doors and the big arched window for the kitchen should be in this Tuesday. The two glass doors came in two weeks ago, but the framer doesn't want to put them together, the lumber yard where we bought the windows from won't and Andersen Windows doesn't want anything to do with them. No one wants the responsibility. Now we have to find a carpenter to put them together so the framer can install them this Friday. No worries.
