Good news! The order is in for material to build the shell of the Fencl. Delivery is scheduled for August 27, 2012. The windows will be ordered in a few weeks...That part of the bid wasn't ready from Jeldwen but a few more paychecks are needed anyway.

A couple of thank yous go out to the following: Jon at Lowes in Monaca, PA for helping put together the order. My sister Marianne for carting me up to Lowes. She and her hubby Rick are also hooking me up with a great deal on some wonderful red oak flooring that they aren't using. Also want to thank my window cleaning customers for their patience while that activity slows down for my time consuming project.

As you know I sold my Blazer to get this house jumpstarted. This isn't the most bicycle friendly area with lots of hills and well, I must've looked pretty pathetic huffin and puffin on the bike. So can you believe my neighbor gave me their extra car. How great is that? So special thanks to neighbor Tom and his son Tommy. Unfortunately, yesterday the freebie broke down. It will be fixed if it doesn't delay ordering the windows too much. Thanks again guys, it was and is greatly appreciated.

Until next time...
