Paddy is padding on my lap. Purring and blissful, soaking up the warmth from the wood stove. It's 12 degrees and he's been sitting on the picnic table for the last hour enjoying the moonlight. He refused to come in.
It was another busy day at school. I finished the new brackets for the flats and painted them. Charlie nearly finished painting the train car. Tom and Steve rehung the train station so it hangs straight, reinforced the stairs and mounted the ladder for when Kim climbs out the window. Ben and I installed the kitchen window frame. Then everybody pitched in to clear the stage so I could vacuum and then we painted. It looks terrific!
Tomorrow, I expect that we'll hear from Astrum Solar and find out what their counter proposal is. We are going to suggest that they pay for the garage roof replacement and then proceed with the installation. They made the mistake and that's what's holding up the entire project. It will cost them less to pay for our roof than it will to lose the account. We'll see.
We have to go to Olean in the morning so Steve can complete the transition work because he is now chairman of SWREMS (Southwest Regional Emergency Medical Council). His term is two years, but can be extended for two years. I can't believe he is taking on another responsibility. He's been a member for many years, but this is another huge job. He says he'll retire at 70, that's two and a half years. Ever since Glenn died, I have wanted him to cut back
