It Only Took Eight Months

... but the handyman company will be here tomorrow, to begin repairing all the cracked/torn/split/broken drywall from the Nov. 30 earthquake. We've looked at all these cracks long enough, thankyouverymuch.



The engineering for our new septic system is done, and the permit issued. Just awaiting the septic installers to schedule a time for the replacement tank and new drainfield.



Of course, that will require them to take out several large trees (most of which are dead or dying, so sad but not tragic). Worse is that they must trench across our raised asphalt driveway and stone retaining wall. The repairs for that will probably have to wait until next spring.

But it's nice to finally be moving forward. We've been on hold for far too long.

Glad to hear things are finally moving forward Reverend. That is a terrible long time to wait.

We’re not alone in such delays, TB, as many people had damage worse than ours. But the federal aid took forever to secure, and the area contractors are still working flat out.

Glad it's coming together for you :)

Thank you, jim. This part should be fairly smooth.

Hope you have a late winter so all the work can get done.

WSF, the outdoor work should only take a couple of days, so we're not gonna worry about the scheduling. Emphasis on "yet".
