Once I can figure out how I want the kids' room officially set up, I'm doing rain gutter shelves in there, so I'm a big fan of that. See if you have a Habitat for Humanity reStore...they sell building supplies and things like doors and other stuff for cheaper than the home improvement stores. That's going to be my first stop in looking for gutters.
As for us - I did my driving test with the post office yesterday, and spent another two hours there filling out paperwork and getting cleared by the nurse. I start training next week, for the entire week, and then one day the following week, with one test I have to pass to be officially official, followed by another three days of training somewhere down the line because I'm considered a "rural" carrier, but the HR director said that I can technically start working before I do those three days of training. 40 hours of training in a week will be a nice shot in the arm in terms of income.
Here's my question, for those of you who have been through this before. I know that I have to notify DHS within 10 days of beginning a new job, but I won't normally be working full-time, I just happen to have one full-time week of training (so that won't be a normal income). How do they figure out how to adjust all of your benefits if you don't have solid hours every week? I'm only going to be doing relief work, so I will have at least one, maybe two official days of work, and the other four days I am 'on call' in case someone gets sick, takes a day off, whatever. Are they going to refigure my benefits based on that first week of training? Do I have to call them every week that my hours change?

Monday I left my diaper bag on the front seat of the car while ds1 had tennis class & when we came back someone had smashed the window & stolen my bag with my wallet in it. I never thought anyone would bother a diaper bag so I never worried too much. 
I spent 3 hours at the DMV getting a new license & 1 1/2 hours getting a new food stamps card. 
They managed to spend $525 with an account that only had $25 in it. B of A thought they were going to make some money on overdraft fees but instead they just ate $525. Idiots!
I am so not ready to move!!! Who is going to rent to people with completely trashed credit & no verifiable income??? DH might still be getting unemployment at that point so that would be helpful, but otherwise he will be a commission based real estate agent. I am trying really hard not to freak out over this, but it isn't working very well.
That car has been a headache the entire time I've had it since I got it back in July! I know what that 7 months back pay is going on
maybe he will make it up to you?
Especially when I'm sick, and they decide on that ONE morning to wake up Super early
