I have been working with a roofing / siding company for MONTHS battling my insurance company to get the best deal possible on my claim. I got a check for the roof and gutters right away, but they're still wanting to simply patch the siding, which isn't good because the siding has been discontinued and the patch job will look horrible.
Yesterday morning I got all excited because a big truck parked right in front of my house and delivered shingles and roofing materials. To my neighbor. Who started the process way after I did.
I was feeling pissy and mad, especially this morning when workers showed up to start the work.
And then I thought of all the little coincidences I've had this winter. Needing a handyman and meeting one at Lowes. Needing to start the process of selling my house and having a real estate agent knock on my door. Wanting my siding cleaned and having a Gypsy show up and offer to do it cheap.
There are two things holding me back from putting the house on the market - the roof/siding, and the fence. The guy who said he would do my fence for me didn't call until yesterday; he's been sick but he's ready to go today.
Really, it all works out for the best, since I won't have a place to live until May 1 in Minnesota. My big brother has offered me his basement if I come earlier, but that just means moving again.
And...the 2 acre lot I looked at last summer? It's back on the market. It's calling to me.
