Clarification, Done Deal, Blown

I mentioned yesterday how expensive my first quote was for gutter installation on the house, $4800 and change. Later yesterday I asked how much of that cost was the leaf guards. I was shocked when the guy said $2000. Based on that information I am considering just going sans leaf guards and just clean the gutters out a couple times a year. I had a second company quote me and it was a few hundred less than the no guard number from the first company.. I am going to get one more quote before making a decision but I am pretty sure I will just skip the guards. I could always install something myself if need be.

Yesterday I closed on the sale of my remaining Lehigh Acres property. The process was stupid easy, puts a nice little chunk of change in my bank account and releases me from paying property taxes on the worst investment of my life any longer. The funds will help offset the even larger chunk of money I am spending with these cabinet/countertop upgrades.

I played volleyball again last night in tough conditions, severe wind. Playing volleyball with gusty winds is very frustrating. I struggled all night with passing and bump setting. The highlight was I had 2 or 3 of my best hits since returning to volleyball. These were hard driven balls, one going off an old guys forehead, which I felt bad about. Although the conditions were challenging I still enjoyed my time playing which is all that matters.
