Hell reports shortage of long-johns, ice skates

At long last, work has begun on the final projects requiring attention before we make the big move over to Science Manor. Who knew it would take this long? We had a call in to a contractor way back before we left on our vacation. When we�d returned from our trip to find that we hadn�t yet received an estimate from him, Science Girl called every other day for two weeks before finally accidentally catching him in the office. He said that he hadn�t sent an estimate because so much time had passed, he�d assumed we�d found another contractor. Yeah, that would explain why we kept calling and leaving messages, Einstein.

Needless to say, we did find another contractor after that.

This guy seems to be on top of things; Science Girl says we might even be ready to move by the end of the month. I�m guessing mid-November, myself, just because I suspect something will come up and derail our suddenly speeding train. We pessimists are pleasantly surprised when things go right, and are reassured in our worldview when they don�t.
