A friend of ours just posted this FB update:

[Friend's name] would like the person who left their fast food leftovers and their kid's dirty diaper sitting on the ground in the parking lot that I (with gloves) picked up all your stuff and put it in your trunk. I expect you'll find it in a few days. Probably the hard way.

In the comments, people asked how this happened.  Her answer:

Hatchback. She left it unlocked. :-)

Mold

The guy gets here today to start cleaning out the mold found in D's office upstairs. It will take two days to remove all the mold and then to clean all the stuff in the room.  There's not that much mold, so most of that time is cleaning the stuff, I think.

Following clean-up, I need to hire a contractor to restore the room.  We had planned to use the same guy who did our back deck (power washing & sealing & staining) and installed the new dog run, but we weren't happy with the quality of that work. D called him yesterday and called him out on the quality, which he wasn't happy about apparently, but he said he's going to try to fix the fence so it's not crooked.  Which means I'll have to see him in person.  This is not my comfort zone, that's for sure.  Another reason I should never be involved in anything related to real estate or home renovation.

Sidewalk & House

They dug out the grass in our front yard weeks ago.  Yesterday, they came to line up the concrete frame into which they'll pour the concrete for our additional sidewalk.  Fortunately, I saw them doing it and realized there was a miscommunication since they'd made it too wide.  I called our designer and he dispatched his guys who arrived maybe 30 minutes later to fix the issue. 

I think we're sticking with the paint color.  It truly has grown on me enough that I like it when it's gray and cloudy, which is most of the time.  How convenient!

G Kids

RHG is in Colorado for a Google "unconference" about one of their software products she uses for kitchen design.  This means I'll be babysitting Elise & Nolan the rest of this week (just from 11-4, so not all day).  Avery and I are looking forward to spending some quality time with Friend Elise and Friend Nolan.  We're working on calling Nolan "Friend Nolan" rather than "Baby Nolan."  I'm wondering when Avery is going to drop "Friend" from Elise.  It's partially our fault now because we always call them Friend Elise and Baby Nolan.
