I spent two days watching Sylvia make calls. I would have made them myself, if I weren't trying to bring her into the business. She pared the potential appliance providers down to three. I allowed her to make the decision. She went with one that I might not have, but her reasoning was flawless.

All the appliances were pretty much the same. Her supplier had all of them in stock from the water heater to the refrigerator. He would sell in small bulk packages three or four of each at a time. He would also deliver them to the site and unload them into the houses. The price for the complete package of stove, refrigerator and hot water heater was still under a thousand dollars for the standard models. Any upgrades would lose the 'package pricing, ' but it got passed on to the buyer anyway.

The heating man came out the same day she called. The housing market was all to hell, so he was thrilled to come give us advice in exchange for a chance to match the installation bids.

He told us to go with at least a 40,000 BTU furnace. He couldn't believe that we were not going with central air conditioning as well. Even so, he agreed to do the job. He did tell Sylvia that it would be better to run the ducts in the crawl space. The unit would be more efficient and the cost would be the same. At least it would be, if he did the installation.

Again by buying four or more at a time the small gas furnace with ducts and thermostat included came in at just under $1,500. I wasn't surprised that the furnace was a major expense. As far as materials went, the items Sylvia had priced, so far, were the heaviest cash outlays I expected to make.

That held up until we began talking about the actual renovations. The first of the shocks began when the foreman from HLF showed up with the roofing samples. "If we are going to do the roof repairs, we need to get the roofing materials purchased." he informed us.

"So this is our choice. We just choose the color not the brand?" I asked.

"I figured you would leave that to me," he said without even an apologetic look.

"Okay, let's do it this way instead. The houses are 1000 sq feet on the ground level so the roof is no more than 1400 square feet. So how much do you want to put the roof on per house?"

"We were figuring $3000 per house if we get them all. And for that we tear off the old roof and we will replace any damaged wood under the roofing material..." he said.

"And that is your best price?" I asked.

"On a per house price, one you can take to the bank, yeah," he replied.

"Sylvia are you afraid of heights?" I asked.

"No Maxine, I'm not afraid to walk a roof for sure." she informed us both.

"If you want a shot at the roof, bid on the nail down per square," I demanded. "I'll supply all the materials."

"Why you being such a hard ass, Maxine. We worked together on this place and the one across the street and they worked out fine," he said.

"Because, that was for guys with a bunch of money. This is a different economy and different buyers. If you don't want to play nice, I will find other people who will." I was ready to do that anyway.

"We will nail it down, with nail guns, for a hundred dollars a square," he said.

"I'll get back with you, but don't be surprised, if someone else is doing the work when next you drive by. I'm not giving you a match the price option." I said.

After he had gone I said to Sylvia, "Surely you know a roofer from your clan."

"I don't have a clan, but I know a man in the trades. He probably knows someone." she said with a smile. "I am going to gain a little respect, if I can pull this off."

"Respect from who?" I asked.

"The people who avoid me now," she said.

"Then bring them on. Lets get those roofs checked out and started."

By the end of the next day Sylvia had arranged the roofing material and the crew to nail it on. "Maxine, we caught a real break," she said to me after she and her roofing crew had inspected the roofs.

"How so?" I asked.

"When old Mr Hart closed the houses after the mill closed, he had new roofs put on because he knew it would be a while before he could reopen. Those roofs have been on a while and look like shit. but they are still holding. There is no soft wood on the houses we checked. The roofer tells me we can nail the new roof over the old and save a crap load of money on the labor."

"I'm always glad to hear that." I replied.

"Looks like those other guys were trying ass fuck us," she said getting more into the rough and tumble language that seemed to follow me around.

"I don't think it was intentional. I think they just got lazy. It was easier to bid for the worst case scenario and hope they make extra money. I just couldn't get them to change their mind set." I gave it some thought then said. "Get on with it."

During the next three weeks while the four model houses were being renovated. I pretty much left it all to Sylvia, but my life didn't stop. I just fell into the mundane. I did get laid a couple of times but even that was just ho hum. I mean sure I got off and that was great, but there was too much of the same old shit I had to go through to get to that point.

There had to be a better way. I probably needed a boyfriend or girlfriend. Someway to make it easier. I would love to just drive somewhere take off my clothes and have sex. That was my thinking after the first two weeks into the mill development. The problem was the lover would begin to bore me and it would be harder to extricate myself.

Sure I was also surprised that Deacon Burke hadn't called or come down to chew on my ass at the least. Nothing was happening worth talking about on any front. Life was just plain boring.
