On Saturday we’re getting the new furnace and air conditioner. On Tuesday, a repair guy is coming out to look at the dryer. *sigh* Unfortunately, they are not free. At least they are getting fixed.

Sarah pointed out to me that I forgot to mention in my last post that I had to replace the sump pump last month when it was raining constantly. Imagine my joy. At least the battery backup was there and did its job. Unfortunately, we burned out the battery as it was running to long. At least that’s just a car battery that needs to be replace.

At least there is a good house-related thing to report. My in-laws are here to help us bridge the gap between Sarah returning to work and Dinah starting at day care. My father-in-law, while not making faces at his granddaughter, has been putting a floor in our attic. Its something I’ve been putting off, as it wasn’t yet a huge priority. In either case, he’ll do a much better job than I would and I can get some stuff out of the basement.
