I did not get a deer this last weekend :( Therefore, I am headed back into the woods this weekend. Hopefully, I will get a shot at the tirdy pointer. Perhaps only in my dreams...
Before I left to go deer hunting last weekend, I spent $300 and a couple hours to blow insulation in my attic. Before I did this, my attic looked cold and gloomy. Now it looks like a winter wonderland of snow. I feel warmer just looking up there. With the government 30% rebate, I really only paid $200. That should be paid off by the money I will save on my heating bill in a few years, maybe less.
I got really excited yesterday because I was looking at fireplaces and different design plans for them. I went to the Fireside and Hearth website. They allow you to custom design a fireplace and they show you what it will look like. I am going to get a gas fireplace. I want to go with a natural stone mantel and hearth. It looks gorgeous. The estimate was $3500. I can maybe make cuts here and there to get it under $3000. I plan on going shopping for them next week :)
Ceiling fans are 25% off at Menards this week. I should stop in and pick 2 up for my family room today. Could save me $50.
The question I have for the day is how I should spend the last 5 vacation days I have at work. I could take 3 days before Christmas off and 2 days before New years. This would give me 12 of 14 days that I do not have to work, including weekends OR I could take 1 day before Christmas and 4 days before New Years off which would give me 12 straight days off. I am faced with difficult decisions as an adult. I am leaning towards the 1 / 4 which gives me 12 straight days off, but we will see what Laura's schedule and the Christmas plan looks like :)
