 Kind of irritated right now with this electrician and wanting to charge me an exorbitant price to install that power line. Not just because I was under the distinct impression, considering the original wording from the main contractor, that everything was included, but also that it took me to have to blow up the main contractor's phone to get his guy to even respond. 

8 days to even get to this  point only to find out  that he wants to charge me even more.  This stuff is eating up my finances, that's all I can say.  They are allegedly coming next week to dump the gravel and get that part over with.  

I know I'm not feeling well when I wake up at 11:00 am.  Yes, I was shocked when I woke up a little while go, looked at the clock and saw it was 11.  Like wow, I never sleep that long.  And after all of that sleep,  I still don't feel particularly well but I forced myself out of bed and took a shower anyway.  

I've found and purchases an RV Space Rental Agreement online. It was less than $5.00 and everything on it can be changed/added for the particulars for any given park.  

That may have been a waste of money, now that I'm looking into online registration sites.  It can be used for in-person rentals, of course, but I'd rather have everything as "automated" as possible and taking payments including reserving spots on a calendar and forcing people to agree to rules, terms and conditions before payment can be made is a part of what I want.  I don't want to have to hassle with this stuff.  It's worth a buck or two per registration to have a company doing all the credit card processing and having all of that stuff online.  I just add it to my website and once a person clicks on registration, it takes them to their site to fill out all of the details.

I would have had to pay a company to process credit card payments anyway. Plus, this particular site will allow PayPal payments, which I personally find extremely convenient when I'm buying stuff online.  It doesn't cost the buyer anything more and gives assurances about getting what you paid for.  I have to learn more and have scheduled an appointment for next week.  I would have today, but they had no time slots available.  

It's Friday, the Queen of the house is leaving for the weekend which leaves kids and James home.  We'll have a big party and make sure the Queen sees some of it on the Nest cameras, lmao. JK, of course, it will probably be a "boring" weekend, at least for me, for I am still not feeling well and I don't know when this thing is going to depart.  I do know that the kids have been sick for over a week - tho they are still going to school. This kind of thing just hits me harder than the average person, a thing I learned to deal with long ago.

But, it doesn't help that I have a myriad of physical things to do, such as finishing that driveway - almost done - putting up that sign - the quick crete is going to have to dry completely tho before I do that and it's been raining and is going to rain more today.  I have other signs I need to order.  The trail has to have signs directing people where to go.  I need an EXIT ONLY sign and an ENTER HERE sign.  I'll need numbers for the lots, but I can get those locally.  The local sign company is pricier than what I can buy all of those other signs for at an online sign store. 

Yup, the costs continue to rise.  I had a person call yesterday asking if I would have laundry available. No, I replied, that's a future project. 

Dealbreaker for him. I already knew I needed laundry on-site, it's just that everything else is eating up my finances and I simply don't have the money for that right now.  I would have to run electricity to the shed, for one and that's $500 right there.  If I do it myself!  Then run the outlets inside, buy the machines and install them. It's thousands of dollars, basically. 

I'm not using that electrician for anything else after this ordeal.  If I need an electrician, there are others in town with one that sticks out with an exceptionally good reputation.  

Well, I do wonder if we're having guy's night since the ladies are gone.  We did last time, spent over 8 hours at one of their houses.  Sunday, we helped one family move into a house, but I don't think they're ready for guests just yet.  I don't know that I am feeling well enough to do anything, anyway, unless they do it here at our house.  Then I can just disappear if fatigue sets in and bid them all a wonderful evening! lol

G'day. 


 Saturday - late afternoon I did not get up early since I had second load and was really deep in sleep again.  Like, this all seems to have ...
