I went downstairs this morning to see how much more insulation I needed to get for the cold water pipes... and discovered, right in front of me, a pile of pipe insulation that Jerry had obviously bought at some time, intending to do that job himself. I don't remember him buying it... but I felt so ridiculous not having seen it before, right there in plain sight. But it saved us a trip back up to the Despot.
We had a big thunderstorm this morning, meaning more water seeping into the basement. I hope the gutter people show up when they claim they will. And after that's done, I'll contact the contractor. I went upstairs just now and turned the hot water off to the upstairs bathroom sink, which stopped the leak in the tap.
Laura's headed back to Midway. It was good to have her here. I'm still not sure what kind of balance of solitude and company I need to strike for my own sanity, but Laura's visit turned out to be well-timed and a good thing.
Seamus hasn't called the funeral home, so I'll do that tomorrow. Not looking forward to it. Not looking forward to much, though, these days.
When you want company again, let us know and we'll come out again.
ReplyDeleteWe think of you and Jerry constantly.
I'm glad you had company for a while & I do hope that the call the funeral home is quick and productive.
