So much to do, so little time

T-minus 6 days to closing on the Casa de Ponce. So I put off talking to the insurance company assuming I would have no problems, since hey, I bought this one fine, and go to find out they won't give me a policy unless I have contracts in hand for some of the work I had planned to do shortly after aquiring it. Projects including updating the electrical systems, repairing the leaning front porch, and last, but not least, getting a new roof put on. So I have (had) 6 days to get these contracts, when I had only gotten 0 (zero, nadda) bids on the jobs. Makes sense to me tho, why have contacts on a house I don't own just yet. Well that all changed. Altho I still don't have any bids and/or contracts, I do however have people lined up to give me these required papers. Now I just have to hope they don't cost more then I'm thinking they might. Can you say goodbye bank account, hello Visa.
All that aside, we close 2pm Thursday. Then the tree killin begins. Anyone that wants to play lumberjack, just let me know. Red checkered flannel required. And yes Chris, you can come and take part in some remodeling work. You pick the project, and odds are I'm going to do it.
