Today was payday and fairly uneventful. But I did order some Costa Rican money for my vacation. I like to have some on hand when I arrive instead of rushing when i get there. For about 200 US dollars I'll get roughly 90,000 in Costa Rican money. I feel kinda rich.
The bank has to order it so its supposed to arrive on monday. Plenty of time.
I also put $50 from my check towards my mortgage principal as planned.
I have way more things going on right now than I really like. But some are good things and some aren't too bad. My roof has been having numerous issues for years. I picked a roofer that seems to be good and they are supposed to repair my roof before I go on vacation. Hopefully that goes smoothly and no more roof issues. Its going to cost a little over $1800. Still expensive as far as i'm concerned but not as bad as I thought. They are basically going to install a special vent on the very top of my roof and re-shingle the front half of my house.
In july my city is supposed to completely tear apart and replace my street and including part of my driveway. The good news is that there are no charges to me. They have some kind of bond or such thats paying for it. I'm sure the street will look great when its done. But i'm sure not looking forward to the hassle of the construction. Most of my city is already tore up with things being repaired. Anyways thats another reason I want the roof finished soon so I don't have to worry about that at the same time as my street is being worked on.

There is almost nothing so bothersome as a bad roof. It threatens your most expensive possession, your primary shelter from the elements and the , eh, cold cruel world. I had some bad roofers one time. Oh, what a headache. Better luck to you.

I like the color scheme too. I just experimented with it one day and it turned out pretty good.
I learned one thing as far as roofs and home repairs are concerned. If you can't do it yourself hire a
PROFESSIONAL. Hiring a friend of a friend just doesn't work very well and can cost more in the long run.
