We told our cement people they could do our back sidewalk from the back of the house to the back door of the pool hall anytime. So we gave them a nudge when we first got back and he was in the field planting. So we waited...and waited. Nudged again a week or so ago and finally reached him in person yesterday. It seems the cement place charges a $500 fee if your cement order is too small so he tacks it onto a bigger job to avoid that small job fee. That's the bad news- the good news is we will see him next week!
And then a while back, Butch contacted some tree people who were working a block away and a guy named Squirrel was supposed to see us. Squirrel didn't show but his boss called and said he would come to look at the job. He came by on Monday. Butch and I had a "pool" going to see how much it would cost. I said $700 and Butch said $1200 so when Eric L. said $400 Butch was tickled pink that he lost the "pool". Butch is having the tree topped. They are coming sometime next week. Wanna bet on what day that might be? For the local folk who want to know what outfit this tree crew is out of, it's ArborPro Tree Service out of Fort Dodge.
So lots going on next week...
Butch's Birthday is today and he is the big Eight OH!. He says "So What." and I do have to agree with him. It is just a number. And he wears it very well. Miracles do happen. He is even starting to listen to me! Who knew!!
