Free Ballin to Crazy Contractors



Sometimes you just gotta let it all hang out...then when you see someone is looking get all sorts of modest.
Site prep for the shed is going well on the other hand finding a good electrical contractor at a reasonable rate not so good. The trouble with living on an island is there are not as many services as elsewhere so if we visit the laws of supply and demand we find there is much demand especially in the dryer months and less supply. I have come to the conclusion that contractors have no incentive to call you back, bother to show up or even charge a fair price because there is so much work out there that they can do whatever they want. So after taking a couple of bids on tree removal, one high the other half of first bid, I see that it may be more affordable than I thought. The electrical on the shed might just have to wait cause the bids on that have been pricey. We have been searching for some plants to put in the planter pots we got but we could not find what we were looking for...bummer.


Buddy our Lab has a yeast infection in his ears again. Seems to happen during the summer months and bothers him very much. We initially thought (w/vets advice) it might be a food allergy. So for the last year he has been eating expensive dog food and although his ears got better the problem never really went away. Now he is on benedryl, eardrops and a chewable tablet and behold we have a winner. Next vet appt tomorrow so we shall see.

Still raining, gotta love washington and getting down into the 50's at night...can't complain though it beats triple digits. Gotta go!


Enjoy
