Only 1932 on survey and engineering? That’s pretty (really) cheap.
Hah, that’s because our engineer hasn’t billed us yet. That will change. A little sensitive about engineers, are you?
Hi Gail,
Jennifer here – just checking on your progress with the house. You guys are doing a tremendous job, hope you are still having fun, too.
I’m in the process of cleaning out my parent’s second home in Pt. Roberts. It’s now up for sale, and we’re trying to “relocate” its contents. Much has been taken to Hospice, Sally Ann and the dump. We’re also holding a couple of garage sales in April.
