    I had a largish claim today, and it didn't take me quite as long as it would have before, and I was less intimidated by the size. I guess that shows progress, but I left feeling pretty proud for meeting the challenge. The basement of this house is a few hundred square feet larger than my entire house. The thing with nice houses is that rooms aren't just simple boxes, there are all kinds of coves and fancy trim, etc. Where I'm going with this is that it takes a long time to draw all the rooms, then measure everything, then figure out what needs to be done in each room. After that, I get to go home and do it all electronically as I put it into my computer. So today was a pretty good day.

    It took me two hours at this house today, and all the mitigation equipment was still there attempting to dry out this 1,500 sq/ft basement. Sometimes mitigation stuff is just fans and dehumidfiers, but in this case, the heat was on as well. It must have been 95-99 degrees in there, and I showed up in a sweater. The marble counter tops were hot to the touch it was so hot in there. I stripped off that sweater right away and got to work. I was afraid all my sweat was going to smudge my pencil blue print. Still working now, but in a good mood about it. I like showing improvement at stuff.

    When's the next match and the next Penny Pincher Build video?

    We are all impatiently waiting for the transition. All except the folks at the old company.
    Congrats! Hope you have a smooth transition!

    Haven't talked to him in about a month... And that was only because I bugged him for a while.
