And a few hours post-surgery, with his studly sunglasses on:
2. My good vision. Although I'm grateful that Jeff was able to have the procedure, I'm also very grateful that I don't need anything to correct my vision.3. An almost endless supply of burp cloths and sleepers for Lauren.
4. Pleasant surprises - like finding out it will cost $280 to cut holes for windows instead of $600 - $1000.
5. Google. I don't know how do-it-yourselfers ever did anything before internet searches came about. I guess that's why old houses are so fun to remodel.

Congrats Jeff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay for Jeff. I'm so happy I was able to have LASIK eye surgery, it's so nice!
ok that picture is hilarious- the one above...yeah I love seeing into people's personalities....
so who cuts windows for $280? That is not including the window I am guessing?
I am truly amazed how much my mom knew how to do without google. I asked her once and she always said, "I would either read an instruction manual or go to the library or just figure it out as I go." That sounds like she must have made a lot of mistakes a long the way...
anyway- so congrats to jeff on seeing...blessed eye sight. I take so many things for granted.
April - I called two places from the phone book (Greene and Walsh), and both of them told me $280 per window, to cut a hole big enough for a 48-inch square window. (That was just a rough estimate based on what I told them over the phone.) That is per window, and doesn't include the window or the window well, but from what I had read online, I was expecting $600-$1000 per window just to cut. So yes, it was a pleasant surprise. And I have since found out that our window doesn't need to be quite that big - 48x42 instead. So when they come to give me written estimates (on Monday), it should be a little less. There's also a charge ($200-$250) to haul the concrete chunks away, but if you have the means to do that yourself, or if you're going to bury the slab, you wouldn't have to pay that, of course.
I'll have to have Jared talk to Jeff about Lasik. He wants to get it done soon. He's been wearing glasses since he was about 10 and is so sick of it. I'm so glad I don't have to worry about any of that either.
