The Coffee House

Mary Lou and Gary made a quick Costco run today.

Mary Lou, Maggie and Gary from a four mile walk around the lake. Maggie (four and a half months) met Milla, (a six month old doodle) and they ran and ran full tilt and off the leash ... then they wrestled until exhaustion. Maggie had a great time!

After we moved in and started doing some work. I kept asking our towns inspector if I needed permits for this and that. Basically only need permit for plumbing, and any structural change that adds square footage or changes the shape of the structure. That's it! Can re-wire entire house, no inspection. Can change the roof, no inspection.

You can gut the interior and install an indoor pool with only needing a plumbing permit. (Unless you use the existing plumbing ... in which case you’re home free.) Gary only works on public sector construction. He has a lot of expertise with paperwork. The government treats paperwork with equal seriousness and weight as it does with the actual construction.

Webster would have been easier. He would of made her happy pretty quick, not like his daddy.

That's a shame. How is your friend doing? Sorry to hear about his wife passing and his health. My best friend's dad had Alzheimer's, seems like a tough thing to handle.

Man, he did remarkable. It was a good service other than a few insensitive people. She was loved by many. Not real sure what the next steps for him are. I guess time will tell.

Oh boy let the fun begin. Someone let him drive. I have to fix a minor rear end impact. Oh boy, this is gonna be interesting. He hit a girl I used to manage at a paint company of all things. She is cool about it as long as I buy the materials from her. Total cost of material is $957.00 and that is used parts. Geez oh pete.

Our town is permit hell. The city planning commission and building ordinances are legendary. Need a permit for just about everything and it’s not just the money and the buerocracy that is involved - they are very strict about issuing the permits and signing off on the work. There are some contractors that just won’t deal with the extra red tape and won’t even call you back when they hear the address or they immediately jack up the price. It’s a pita but it’s also kept property values in a very nice climb.

Gary thinks there are days when nobody gets a break from life.

Gary would kick butt there.

Some days Gary thinks there are days when nobody gets a break from life.

Or someone lives it to the fullest. I have fixed their cars a lot. His wife was pretty reckless.

Or DC for the cherry blossoms. I would do either.

Oh, THAT would work for me, but NYC or Boston could also work (I'm always in for a good train ride).
