2025 OneThing #10 - Research and Act

 I wrote down four things, but the goal was to make progress.


Trusses - I contacted two different companies to get bids. Then I followed up with the full pole barn plans and a request for supply bids. We talked with Nick and shared his contact info. I hope to make a decision (with Louie, Nick, and Mike) and hire one of the two this next week!


Lou - I didn't really do anything because I haven't talked with Joyce yet. I'm not interested in spending a lot of time and energy on something that may be completely ignored. Viv is trying to contact a VA rep in Scott County. Joyce and Del have been in frequent communication and are talking about options. I hope / plan to call Joyce today and see if she wants me to look into applying for elderly waiver and / or for a spot for Lou at a VA home. I also plan to go visit Lou this afternoon.


Water softener - I spent some time looking at reviews and prices to buy a new one, but I also looked through the GE info booklet and talked to Louie. This water softener should NOT be leaking resin beads after only being in use for three years! The warranty said the resin tank is covered for ten years. Louie is willing to contact GE this week to pursue a replacement resin tank.


RaDon office manager - Sue Kennedy stopped by last week and is very interested in the job. I strongly encouraged her to call Don and talk with him. I need to not take on the burden of hiring someone to replace Lynn. But I do want to help.


This was progress. Except for my father-in-law, I did some looking into topics and communicated and DID stuff to move forward. 

 

I didn't really have any photos this week, but since I love pics I'll add one anyhow. This is Joshua and his friend Locke at yesterday's rescheduled birthday party. The piñata finally was smacked into oblivion. The kids seemed to enjoy it, but it was much sturdier than I anticipated. Louie and Morgan hung it up in the garage and put a heater on. Then they laid a clean tarp down for "catching" all the treats.
