Nerdy White Guys Are On the Case.

Well, today we met with the Structural Engineer, and they are going to come out after the house is torn down (Supposedly this Tuesday it will start....) and see if the foundation is okay. However because they are really nice guys (and not all that nerdy, really) they came out today to see it BEFORE it is torn down. We also gave them a set of plans, and a cd full of pictures. They gave us also tips on how to carefully proceed to tear it down in a way to not damage the foundation any further. If the foundation is bad, which we hope it is not, things are gonna get a whole lot worse. but I already live on a goat farm with brown carpet and brown well water...so maybe I am ready.

The guy was actually really nice. A LOT of stuff is out of the house most things that were even bolted down are gone now too, things that we may reuse in the garage or something such as cabinets, etc. They were able to remove the granite from the kitchen and we will TRY to reuse it in the kitchen but we doubt it will work, BUT worth a try. If not, Bill will use it in the garage as a work bench etc.

Supposedly tear down is this Tuesday.

We got a message from Missy the Beagle's new family that they really love her and she is a sweet dog and its working out so far and they really really like her. We liked her too, when she was the only dog in the house. Then she started eating sticks of butter, peeing in the dining room every day, running away constantly, turning over the garbage three times a day and terrorizing the neighbor's Llamas and chickens etc. We are very very happy that she is very very happy. We hope we never get the call to take her back. If those people call one day to say please come and get her it will take all the self control I have to not pretend that I do not speak English. Call-a back-a Please and Thank You por Favor Grazi sayonara. Ou Est La Plage? Regardez Le Neige! Voulez-vous de Beuerre? I realllllllllly disliked that animal at the end and honestly life is SO peaceful without her.

of course this could be because the other dog lives in her crate right now and hops around on three legs like twice a day. Amy is doing great actually and we are so grateful that she is still with us. SO many times when it is dog v car, things do not turn out well at all and the very worst thing happens... She still STILL smells a bit of skunk but it is slowly fading.

The goat farm is Freezing, and this house apparently was last insulated in the mesozoic era. This house is freezing like 24 hours a day. Of course it is really cold here right now, even the goat's water is a block of ice every morning and we have to go out and thaw it for him daily.

Just doing exploded house stuff, hanging out, getting ready for mediation and whatever... Oh and I have made a large investment in Frozen Foods. No one likes my cooking anyway.
