Fear

This is where the end of the carport steel locks into the steel post.

At what point does a handwritten note from the bank cease to scare?

It was just an invitation to a real estate investment seminar, whereas we're gambling big time that this house is going to all work out.

The steel was delivered yesterday; because we're terrified of what COULD happen. This steel is the stuff that will hopefully keep our cantilevered carport from crashing down into the ground, our picture windows in place and the trellises on the ends of the wings fly without fail.

The original Rosenbaum house in Florence, Alabama didn't have steel structural support and it leaked like a sieve. The 800K renovation corrected that problem. I hope this house doesn't cost that amount. I'm pretty sure then a handwritten note from the bank WOULD be bad news.

Happy Birthday PV
