Moving madness: Let’s get it started
We’re moving out of this city in just five days. We have only four days before we pick up the moving truck. One of those days is a holiday and the other two are weekend days, so anything we need to buy or do with a business needs to be done today. We are not packed yet and I have friends visiting from Colorado so I’ll be spending at least today and tomorrow doing some last-minute sightseeing. I’m looking forward to that but, holy cow! where did the time go?
Oh, and that whole roof imbroglio? It remains completely unresolved except that we have an estimate for a new roof at $5,000-$6,000 (which is what I thought), and confirmation from a professional roofer that roofs made of this strange “woodruf” stuff are nothing but trouble. So we’re still waiting to hear whether the seller will deal on that. If not, we’ll have to start our home search over again. Awesome.
Moving is always like this, isn’t it? Such big changes can never be simple. Oh, speaking of which, does anyone want to come over Tuesday and help get the big stuff in the truck? I’ll buy you lunch! Huh? Oh, come on! You know you want to!

Dude, I feel for yah! Sorry I can’t be of assistance with your move. Or your roof. Seems like only yesterday we were ripping the one off your place in Urbana eh? Strange synchronicity to life. Seriously though, screw that seller if they won’t move on the roof. Frankly, that they didn’t say anything before hand isn’t all that great a thing either. It’d be a hassle I know but it’s not an auspicious beginning to move into a house sold by someone who can’t be honest (or at least competent. who would sell a house without having it inspected first so that you could spot problems like this?). Hang in there dude!

I would — honest — but I’ll be outta town until late that night. Hope it all goes well!

Rough roof woes (try it 10x fast).
I’d give you a hand on Tues, but I’ll be 600 miles away. Best of luck to you!
