Ode to outrageous automotive repair costs

We got the car back late yesterday... Looks great, Jon will post a pic later... But $10,000 later, it should look fabulous! We tried to call the party responsible... Yeah, the phone number listed on the police report was wrong... Or at least they told us that the person we were looking for was not at that number. How convenient! We're going to send him a certified letter, in hopes that we can recover the deductible... Wish us luck!

On the other project... We had Paul and Tina over on Tuesday to help put up the trusses. Don't you love Wisconsin... On the only day we could secure help... It rained. We worked anyway, for about thirty minutes, when the rain fell harder. Yesterday Jon and Don spent about an hour securing the one truss we actually managed to put up on Tuesday... Then they went to start putting up the next one, and discovered that they have special trusses for the front and back wall... Fancy that! So all that work, both Tuesday and Wednesday, went to waste! So, today, Thursday, we are no further than we were on Tuesday... We have one truss. And my husband thought that it would be done in one evening... Huh...

The sky outside my window look good, puffy white clouds amid blue skies... Hope it looks the same in South Milwaukee... I would like to see some real progress today... Here is hoping. (I seem to be doing a lot of that these days!)
