Well it has been about a month since I have written anything, so I guess I had better write. A lot has happened in the last month but nothing real big. We have not had a weekend at home all month. Lily loves school and is learning a lot, she has trouble with math which for a Kindergartener that means she is not grasping numbers real well. But on the plus side she is learning her ABC's realy well. Here are a couple of Pictures of her first day of school
I have a different truck now. The GMC was not doing well and I needed a 4x4 to get around this winter. Many of the job sites that I work at here in pullman include the directions turn off the paved road. They get about as much snow here as utah does, but here they are all hills. there is not much flat land. My new truck is a 1994 Toyota T100. It has 160000 miles on it but is a manual transmision and 4x4.
We have spent two weekends over at my inlaws helping Lavelle with projects. First we built a shelter for his wood pile, they heat their home partial off a wood burning stove. Also I installed some grab bars in his shower to help him after his Knee surgery.
We have both recieved new callings in the ward. Rosalie is the Gospel Essensials teacher and I am the new Scout Master. I am realy excited for my new calling Yesterday I attended a day long training. We have about 5 deacon age boys in our ward.
I think I will include my rant about home inspectors in here with Melanie and Dan wanting a bigger home, Nikki And Bryan getting a condo and Mom and Dad via Stacie and Grandpa purchasing a home. First for the most part I don't like them. They are not regulated by the state or federal government. Any one that wants to can purchase a buisness liscence and be a home inspector. That being said if they did not know at least something about construction they would not survive very long as an inspector. My biggest issue is that many of them feel the need to justify how much they are charging by finding a lot of non related items. For example I have seen home inspection reports that listed things like it apears that there has been a patch in the west wall of the south bedroom upstairs. well you are buying a used home there have probably been a lot of patches to the walls. That being said if you are not capable of doing much other than minor home repairs the inspection can be realy helpful. I don't even bother with them when I purchase a home because I am willing to take what problems come with the home and fix them. but many people are not and they will hopefully catch somethings that a normal buyer would not notice. The only other thing is that they are not held liable for anything, you could get a false since of security only to find something major after you move in which is why i would strongly suggest a home warranty. Any way I will get off my soap box for now. hope everyone is well and enjoying life.
