You win some, you loose some

So our trip to Charleston continued to not go our way.  Long story short . . . . We got to the airport for our 10:00 pm flight.  It was delayed an hour and a half.  At about 11:30 they decided to cancel because there was "no crew" - Thanks United.  So after 30-45 minutes at the help desk (along with the plane full of tired and irritated people), they paid for our cab ride home and we were on another flight the next morning at 8:00.  As you can imagine this was tough with two kids . . . we got home at 1:00 and back up at 6:30.  All in all, the kids were troopers.  We made it and Mimi and Pop-pop were happy to see us.  



We had a fun time.  Went to a pumpkin patch, out to lunch with Pop-pop on the water, played with their dog, bought some winter clothes, I got to get some exercise, and overall everyone slept okay.  


We than headed to Raleigh for the NC State game on Saturday morning.  Abby's first game.  She did great  Wish it would have been better weather and the pack would have won but as a pack fun we should be used to this.   But great to see friends and family.  


The houses progress . . . . we are down to the wire.  The moving company comes on Wednesday.  We have been more than happy with our floors.  Turned out great, professional company, and great price.  

The shed has been a different story.  We hired a guy "that does dirty jobs for cheap" who was recommended to us.  Well . . . I think we are getting what we paid for.  We felt a bit of a rush to get the shed into decent shape.  We have alot that has to be moved in there on Wednesday (jay's tools, outdoor junk, you know "shed stuff").  As you remember it had mold and leaks in the roof.  Well we paid for him to remove the old drywall, insulation  spray mold killer, paint interior, and patch the roof.

After
Well lesson learned, we should not have rushed it and paid someone to come out and completely remove the roof and interior walls.  It rained last week and water is still coming in. We probably will be redoing his work one day.  Expensive lesson.  Do it the first time right.  I guess you win some, you loose some.
