Cup o' Joe and Tea Too

[ValerieJ]

Good morning, everyone! Thanks for the coffee, Barry. It's still hot!!!

I made some tea, in case anyone wants some. Up to 66° here, hubby is outside setting fence posts. Yesterday I went and bought T posts, 4x4s and 2x4s. We are also going to build a workbench.
The quotes we got on chain link for our backyard are insane! $7,000 to $10, 000 to fence our backyard! Not acres, like we used to live on, just a lot in town! No wonder animal shelters are full. These companies have no shame.

It is so expensive to get anything done anymore. If we have a project like that, we expect it will be $10K. I think they charge that to come out here. Even getting the gutters and roofs cleaned with preventative treatment for moss, which is a local issue, it's nearly $1,000. Whatever happened to $300 gutter cleaning? IDK...what isn't expensive these days? Don't get me started on grocery bills.

Tea sounds great. Thanks.

That sure is the truth!

That is why I do everything here! That, and I am picky about work done! Sorry off topic for a bit! But prices on everything are insane! Get less and pay more, what a concept!

DH does a lot of the work here, but there are things we hire done. I don't really want him going up on a ladder anymore, although he would do it if I wouldn't be so unhappy and worried about it. We are lucky that he is able to fix most things and build just about anything.

Took me forever to get a new refrigerator because he insisted on fixing the old one time and again. lol Caught him in a weak moment and got the fridge I wanted. And he's happy now too, because I love it so much.
