Got so many tabs backlogged

I've been busy with roof fixing.

We've had a "suddenly unexpected" mishap on the porch that, upon reflection, isn't surprising in the slightest - the columns supporting the porch roof are rotted through and need to be totally replaced. He's doing that last bit for labor and materials on the reasonable grounds that we already paid him all the money we have, and also that if he doesn't gouge us we're sure to hire him tomorrow for all the other stuff we have to get done. Which we are - our only criteria was "he's the guy who called us back, and also he's licensed" and that's... pretty much still our only criteria.

Saturday we're having the electrician come in, and then... I think the next thing is replastering the ceiling in the front room. Should get the electrician in there as well.... Anyway, after that - a new washing machine!
