A Lil Help From my Sibling

My sister flew into town from the Eastcoast this weekend for a short visit. She was also very curious about my new house (I still haven't moved in yet). The carpet salesman came by on Sat, took measurements and gave me a an estimate of about $5100 on wall to wall carpet. Is that a good price? I'm gonna get a second estimate. The carpeted area would likely be less than 2700 sq ft. The previous owner was a smoker and I really want to get that old carpet ripped up. My sister loved the lake view and the pool. She even started pricing other houses in the neighborhood not believing I got the house so cheap (when compared to the Eastcoast market).

Hornets had built a large nest outside my third garage door. Ignorant to the fact that water had no effect on them (only making them more angry) I sprayed them with the water hose and they swarmed after us. We ran to the car and jumped in. Later I purchases hornet and wasp killer that did the trick. NO FREE HOUSING!

When went to the hardware store, and I picked out a kitchen countertop and new stainless steel Whirlpool kitchen appliances at a great price. My sister declared the current stove unfit to cook on. The range is fairly nasty. All in all, I got alot done this weekend. And she made it safely back to DC.
