Potentially Nice Week Ahead

The 5-day forecast for the upcoming week continues to look good. Little chance of rain, mild temperatures (40's-50's) and some sun. The lake in the back yard is not gone, but it is much diminished. Don't know if anyone will show up to work out there tomorrow or not. It will be muddy, but we only have two full weeks remaining for the remainder of the year. The 10-day forecast looks good right now as well. If we don't make progress, it will not be due to the weather.

We expect to have the new 65" sunroom television delivered tomorrow afternoon. We will set it up in the MIL room for now. The "small" 32" TV that was in the MIL room is now in the master bedroom. The "little" 22" that was in the master bedroom is now in the Red room. The old CRT that was in the Red room is now in the closet.

Last week we bought an Amazon Fire TV streaming unit. With the promotions that came with the new 65" TV, the Fire TV was effectively one-half the regular price. T really likes it compared to using the WiFi abilities built into our DVD players. The Fire's voice recognition capability is very good. Last week I also ordered a Google Chromecast streaming unit, which was about two-thirds the price of the discounted Fire. The Chromecast should be delivered tomorrow. We'll see how it compares to the Fire.

We are expecting our insurance agent tomorrow morning to review our homeowners policy and the construction project.

Of course we are expecting to hear from the cable company on when the next appointment will be for the relocation of the overhead cable line. Maybe we'll find out something about relocation of the power cable as well!

We may go down to the lumber yard tomorrow and compare the cost of the siding "Our" Mike showed us last week to the pine board that Tyler recommends we consider for the exposed interior roof and gables. We are also looking forward to hearing what Tyler finds out about the gable truss alternatives, per our discussion Friday evening.
