It's just that there are lots of little places that needed caulking and such. And one place under the roof that could use more insulation.Bardiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846065504793800266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-90790766166557390142011-02-04T00:53:31.267-08:002011-02-04T00:53:31.267-08:00I use the same approach as EmmaNadine and I think ...I use the same approach as EmmaNadine and I think you can get away with it with essays, I'm not so sure where houses are concerned. Sometimes only picking up on the main points can leave you two months later with a roof falling round your head. I'm sorry you're in this position because I've been there and I know what a disappointment it is to move into a house you've been looking forward to living in only to find that a lot of what you've bought is cosmetic. At least when all the locks failed because they were faulty and very ancient stock I was locked in the house rather than out. In the middle of December that would not have been funny at all.Anniehttp://senior-common-room.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-69976318406250163812011-02-03T18:20:06.063-08:002011-02-03T18:20:06.063-08:00I've started writing a "top three things ...I've started writing a "top three things to focus on in your next essay" section at the bottom of each essay. I've found it helps them focus on the most important stuff, and as they get better, then I change the three things to focus on.EmmaNadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11813648613912843721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-67403046733339073252011-02-03T15:48:00.132-08:002011-02-03T15:48:00.132-08:00Good analogy, although I'm sorry to hear about...Good analogy, although I'm sorry to hear about all the necessary repair work. Our money pit has some glaring faults (needs new windows!) but I wouldn't want to throw the whole thing out or have to fix everything at once.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093558563358431804noreply@blogger.com
