Windows, Plumbing and Gutter Quotes

On Monday the windows were delivered. They are just inside the house waiting to be installed. Hopefully one day this week.

Yesterday the plumber was here. He ran all the plumbing for the bathroom fixtures, kitchen sink, the sink in the mechanical room, etc. It was just two guys and they worked until late in the evening.

Gutters. Oh boy, we had a salesman come out for a gutter product. First he could not drive his car up the driveway. Tori was down with the horses and drove him up. He commented on how well she maneuvered the driveway and she said "pretty good since I have only had my permit for 3 months". I think he didn't really believe her :-) He then proceeded to spend almost 3 hours showing us why all the other products would not work. Our line item in the budget for gutters is only $1500. So you can imagine what we said when he FINALLY gave us the quote at just shy of 8:00 p.m. and it was over $10,000~! Guess Zac will continue to earn money from us cleaning gutters....
