Wow Kathy.  If it's not one thing it seems to be another, huh.  Or, at
least, that's what it probably feels like.  And I know that's how it goes
with these things.  Even with our bathroom remodel, there were little
glitches.  That crew was really good too.  I was just a teen when my dad
built our house so about the only thing I really remember is the big hole
for the basement and being down in it.  Oh, what fun!!!

Is anybody going to look at that propane tank to see if it is stable enough
to wait until the middle of next week before starting the gravel and
drainage project?
