I can do better than #3. The other night Tim was eating with a friend at a neighboring town’s spots bar. The waitress came up and Steve (Tim’s friend) introducted Tim to her. “Oh, I know you! You’re the one that owns that big old house.”

Some people are interested at my work, the ones doing renos themselves. To the others, you may as well be speaking a foreign language. We haven’t started on the main floor, that should be interesting, especially with kids. We plan on doing one room at a time, and hopefully, we’ll have a second kitchen in the basement by then.
