Completely out of the blue yesterday, Drew found himself promoted.\u00a0 One thing about the CF – when you turn down a posting with a promotion they seem to hold it against you.\u00a0 So, 6 years ago we said an emphatic no<\/strong><\/em> to moving to Moosejaw and spent an extra winter in Wpg before moving to Edm and Drew’s been waiting for his leaf ever since.\u00a0 Finally, it’s arrived.<\/p>\n

Too bad it didn’t come with a massive raise.\u00a0 The garage is going to cost approx two grand more than the original budget.\u00a0 Insulation is being put off until September.\u00a0 The guys were supposed to start tearing down the old garage today but we can’t get a removal bin to the house before Wednesday.\u00a0 We went with the bin option since it was about 1200$ cheaper than all of the others.\u00a0 When you’re already multiple thousands over budget (and likely that’ll rise again before we’re done), you’ll take any cost savings you can find.\u00a0 Overall it’s probably a good thing since Drew hasn’t put up a temporary fence for the dogs yet and we can’t have them running around the alley while the guys have part of the fence down and the garage.\u00a0 Since Drew has all of next week off, he has plenty of time to find a resolution to this problem AND get the garage demolition started with the boys.<\/p>\n

Last night we checked out a new Karaoke joint.\u00a0 It’s within stumbling distance of home so no one needs to worry about finding a near non-existent cab home at the end of the night.\u00a0 The crowd was pretty big and the music varied.\u00a0 With dinner, the overall costs were about the same as if we’d gone to the old place.\u00a0 Robin bumped into some old friends she hadn’t seen in a while.\u00a0 She was always trying to get them out to the Fort and now she knows why they kept refusing \ud83d\ude09\u00a0 I think we’ll be working this new bar into the Friday night singing tour.<\/p>\n

Today we’re busy putting away groceries before Drew tackles removal of the other half of our hedge.\u00a0 I just can’t stand the thing.\u00a0 It’s been a half dead monstrosity for years.\u00a0 He pulled down the other half last week (hard work digging it out) and is ready to tackle the rest with his new found non-garage demo time.<\/p>\n

Me, I’m back doing homework.\u00a0 Quel surprise!<\/p>\n

Have a great holiday weekend everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
