lol, oh well

[Kitalpha Hart]

Also how the fuck is it already August

[galled]

School starts in some places in a couple of weeks...

[Kitalpha Hart]

From what I've seen, some school years have already started
Around here, not until after Labor Day, so not until September

[Lemon Cheesecake]

After labor day is the best.

Not sure what year round schools do.

Right? Time flies amazingly fast when working.

[Kitalpha Hart]

Make the kids suffer, obviously

And drags when you drop from six days a week to four because suddenly free time

[Kitalpha Hart]

WHELP
Mom thought I knew that Big Lots was a "last chance" kind of place for furniture so the lil sectional I wanted? Gone
Found another couch that isn't bad tho

[Lemon Cheesecake]

oh no!

Good you might be able to get a different one.

Costco has some reasonable ones on sale sometimes you can buy on line & shipment isn't bad ( or sometimes free delivery) plus there is usually a warranty.

[Kitalpha Hart]

I did get it

Last I checked the nearest Costco was 5+ hours away. Naturally result: never been to one
Same with IKEA. Closest for that is across country borders

Amazon sells furniture too. They sell everything!

[Kitalpha Hart]

I'd rather check out furniture in person

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Oh nice!

I do like to try out furniture in person as well. But nice to try it out somewhere & then check if it is cheaper online for same thing.

What's the next investment in the house?

[Kitalpha Hart]

Roof needs fixing. Lost a shingle. Hopefully cheap fixing, since the shingle is still on the roof
House needs to be winterized. May be able to get this for free via a program
Wood. Another 1k drop

[Kitalpha Hart]

Corbin loves the couch
Rufus is okay with it
Doink doesn't give a shit

[galled]

Roofing shingles aren't hard to fix--it's the danger from the height that makes it difficult!

Where did you put the new couch? Was it hard to move in?
