More, By The Way...

We are finding ourself facing some of the housing issues that are common around here, namely a slightly psycho water pump. Ours is coming on at odd times and is providing inconsistent water pressure. Or course, there are other folks around here with pumps that are leaking like a sieve, and some people have no running water whatsoever. That makes us relatively lucky.

Some teachers out at another site have gotten caught in a dispute between the district and a contractor who built some new housing there. The district says that the houses are not finished and won't pay for them until they are. Meanwhile, the old housing was partially dismantled, so teachers may have a house without a stove, for instance. Some of them apparently moved some belongings into the school, which was broken into while they were in Bethel for inservice. Jeez...

The final by the way...we got out the tape measure the other day to settle a long-running dispute about the size of this house. The final result-about 630 square feet. Ah, vindication...
