I am so blessed to have friends like I do. Honest to God. My friend Peter the gong player, aka owner of probably the most respected concrete company in this area, came over tonight. He came tonight, instead of tomorrow, so that when he gets into his office at 5:30 he can write up a report for me. He’s my age, 65. His birthday is 3 days after mine. And he is up working at 5:30 then at my house at 5:30 PM. He was here for about 45 minutes.
He said all of the cracks are settling cracks. There is nothing structural to worry about. They are caused by not compacting the ground well enough under the slab, and the slab settles, and makes cracks. He said, I don’t need to take up tiles. I can tell you if I take up tiles I will find a crack. But they are all settling cracks.
So, I said, You know Peter, if there’s something that needs fixing there’s something there. But at least if you tell me that I’ll know it’s true. He said, “Deb, there’s no structural damage, nor is there a crack that would cause it.”
So we’ll see what the buyers say when we get his report. He is such a decent man. Holds gong baths, runs sweat lodges, is a long time mentor for The Mankind project. These are the things through which I’ve come to know him, so I know that the way he runs his business is completely above board.
I sit next to our controller at work. I was telling him how my friend who owned the concrete business was coming out to look at my house, and mentioned his company, and the controller said, “Peter?!!!” Turns out, he is best friends with Peter’s brother, was in the Mankind project with him, and has gone to his sweat lodges. I was like, “We had all this in common, all this time???!!!” So we’ve been chit chatting a lot about all that stuff. Who knew, lol!
I’m feeling way more relaxed tonight. I have hot water. I have a slight handle on the foundation cracks. My son is feeling good because he got 2 phone interviews today from apps he’s filled out on line. He’s very excited about the T-Mobile one. He’s hoping they get back to him for a Skype interview.
My work is the same as ever, but I have so little interest in it right now. It is a struggle to stay with it, it really is. I am so ready to be done. 3 weeks after tomorrow. Sigh…..Getting so close.
Love and light everyone.
Cool.
