Bumps in the Road

You might have noticed that I didn't make an extra mortgage payment for April.  I decided to keep the money to pay my niece for her help on the mobile home project.  Then, yesterday, she says that she might be going back home to Washington.  Darn.  I was looking forward to having her help me all the way through July.  Then, I noticed a greenish leak coming from the truck.  Ugh.  So, half of the money went towards a new radiator.  I am freaking out again because I only have 11 weekends left until school starts and possibly no helper.  More short cuts will have to be made.  Somehow I will have to get 3 rolls of 12' vinyl flooring through the door by myself.  I added a 10-ft-Quick-Support-Tool to my Home Depot "want" list in case I have to screw panels on to the ceiling by myself.  The fence will probably be made from chainlink panels with 1/2" x 3ft. wire mesh buried 6 inches down.  The block wall will have to wait.  All of these alternate plans are zooming through my head and making it hard to focus.  I want a weekend off!

I think bribery worked. I don't want to get too excited but I think she is going to stay for 2 more months. :)

That's a lot of work to get done, but I can tell by your writings that you'll have it done in no time at all. Hopefully your niece will stick around for awhile.

I hope so, Dobermom. I will just keep working and hopefully I will have a livable place by the time school starts.
