I feel like a fish out of water when I’m not in my normal routine of things. Pottery has taken a back seat since the furniture was moved into the garage. I haven’t really done any pottery to speak of lately except for the classes I’m taking on Tuesday’s.

I’m really looking forward to this long weekend where I can relax with my dearest as it’s his Friday off week. We’ve got some more shopping planed and Mexican is going to be our treat this weekend.

I still have my slow and steady weight loss going on and refuse to lose site of my goal. My goal is 1% per week as that’s what Weight Waters suggests. I’m not going to WW but I just remember that from the meetings way back when I used to go. I’ve been losing a little bit more than 1% and trying to keep that healthy steady loss. I’m so thankful Bobby and I are in the wagon together, it helps so much.

Home Warranty Issues

We’ve been in contact with the warranty department on our home and they are not wanting to follow the guidelines of the structural engineer’s (the one Bobby hired) report. The warranty department will take care of the steel piers but the engineer also listed soil stabilization to be added underneath the home. In order to add soil stabilization, they need to lift up the carpet in our family room, drill a hole through the foundation and add the stabilization treatment deep into the soil. The warranty department is telling us that the stabilization is not required. What’s so frustrating for Bobby (an engineer) at the moment is, our warranty department has yet to send an engineer to look at our situation. We have several sink holes on the property next to the house and the engineer (Bobby hired) told Bobby that our home was not built to code. All the warranty department wants to do is add piers and continue giving us the warranty on our home. That problem is still up in the air and who knows when it will be resolved. The other drawback is… Bobby wants to add the soil stabilization to bring our home up to code but the warranty department will drop their end of the warranty on our home if we mess with it. What an ordeal!
