1. The obnoxious "there is NO way it could be *our* fault" Village engineer sheepishly gave G. a phone number to call to reimburse us for our expenses related to the fact that the contractors crushed our sewer lateral. And the construction company accepted our estimate of damage.

2. The basement is CLEAN again--bleached floor and carpets shampooed and ruined stuff hauled out and all back to "normal".

3. G. found a spot on the side of the house that we THINK has been letting in water--causing that musty, wet smell on the entire North side of the house. He caulked it, and I think/hope that'll fix it!

4. Mom (finally) heard from the realtor--they got a second basement estimate in the same range, so they'll knock that price off the cost of the house and her closing date is set for July 18!!!

5. Actually registered for the GRE's (and paid the $140) so I can't turn back now...

6. (Finally) turned one heel on Linda's socks!
