Big day. They moved us in, starting at 9:00. Bruce the
concrete man came with Jeff to add the extra row to the
walkway and to take away the extra blocks.

Jane next door was bitching about the 18 wheeler being
parked in the neighborhood partly in front of her house.
Yesterday she did say that the fence was ordered so that
she can move her fence to her property line; she's about
18" over the line. According to Bruce (who had to ask her
for some electrical power while we were gone) she was ugly
about the power and not pleased that we were not putting in
grass like her. I'll never grow grass again, the damn
stuff is a lousy ground-cover, much too high-maintenance.

The place is a disaster, many boxes to unpack, the computer
to set up, home theatre system, etc. I think I'll go
fishing.

Oh, we told Tristan we'd cut the price on the house again,
to $259,000. She gave us a contract running out on Nov.
15, I changed it to Sept. 30. She's also getting someone
to clean the house, clean the carpet, and an estimate on
painting the basement. I just love continuing to pour
money into the house after a $10,000 price cut.
