House & Garden

Eric brought over his bid, not quite final. It's really at the very top of what I could manage, so I need to pare down about $10K. Goodbye, geothermal. He said nice things about baseboard electric, but how I have my heart set on heated floors! It would be more expensive to re-use the wood interior trim from this house, as opposed to buying new, due to more labor costs in ripping it off. But he will talk to his guys and see if they would rip it off for $25 an hour or something. I'll look the bid over in detail while he takes his family to Door County.

The blueberries seem to be winding down fast -- unless it has something to do with the rabbit I chased out just now. Next year should see greater yield, and the following year the next 3 plants should start to bear. I want to plant additional varieties next year, as well, focusing on extending the season. But how lovely it's been to eat 1/3 C. every other day -- that's just about right.
