Paying for our New Insulation

Nationwide sent the check for the repairs to us. But the check wasn't really for us. It was made jointly to me, Paul and Wells Fargo (our mortgage holder). We signed the check and sent it to Wells Fargo. They then protect the money -- make sure that we are spending it wisely. Today I had to meet an inspector at the house. He will release more money to the contractor based on the percentage of work that he determined was complete.

He decided 60% was complete. I am not going to freak out about the fact that it has taken SO long to get to 60%. We are moving into the house in August. That's just that.

But guess what greeted me this morning at 7:30? If you guessed a smelly port-a-potty, you are correct. If you guess oppressive heat, you are correct. If you guessed a REALLY smelly port-a-potty, you are correct. More importantly though, we have insulation. And dry wall has been delivered. Perhaps August isn't such a pipe dream after all.

We also applied to the Historic Districts Commission for permission to change out our windows. Any guesses about the chances that I will buy in a historic neighborhood for the next house?
