The Biggs Picture

I woke up at 6AM because of the birds/the sun.  This is actually ok, since I get my best work done in the early morning.

Jeremy and I are still in shock over the sudden turn-around with the house project.  We woke up yesterday feeling absolutely exhausted, and it carried throughout the day.  We can’t figure out how the appraiser missed and then found that extra 26k in the value of our house.  Jeremy thinks that she might have run her original search with a cap of 150k, and then something he said may have rung a bell and prompted her to go back and search with a higher cap.  But bottom line, we’re both pretty happy with ourselves - our gut/educated feeling about the finished value was exactly right.  We knew better than the appraiser.  How’s that for a couple of smarty-pants?

And kudos to Jeremy for going after that bad appraisal like a cougar.  Thank you Jemmy!

We have a list of mostly small tasks to complete on Saturday.  I’ll have to test the rest of my recipes, since the propane might be unhooked any day next week; I also need to clean the grill so that we can eat for the next couple of months.  Good gracious, I hope it’s still working!  We need to empty our storage shed so that it can be torn down.  Finally, we need to plane the front door sill and oil the latch so that we can use that door during construction.
All for a good cause!
