3 Quick Thoughts on Sunday, July 16, 2017

  • Our roof has new shingles!  It looks nice.  The crew cleaned up nicely and the contractor is going to be back tomorrow to check on the work again, answer any questions/concerns we might have, and do another sweep with the magnet to pick up any stray staples.  We’ve swept and looked around, found a few stray staples, but it looks good.  I vacuumed the pool yesterday morning and there really wasn’t much shingle dust in there, which was good.
  • The pool is finally clean and warm.  We’re really enjoying the swimming.  We ordered a robotic pool cleaner, which should arrive this coming week.  That will save me many hours each week brushing and vacuuming.  And it supposedly will also mean we have to use fewer chemicals, which would be nice.
  • We are testing Sling TV this weekend, watching the NASCAR races and other shows, via the app and an XBox One.  I can see we’re going to need to up our Internet bandwidth, but otherwise, we’re fairly pleased with how it all works.  The biggest challenge has been figuring out how to use the XBox controller to operate the television.  Hopefully later this week I’ll be able to cancel our satellite tv service and save ourselves some money.
