Baby On The Way and Layoffs

Just a quick update.
It's that time of year, lots of work coming in. I don't have time to do everything myself.  From being online I have attracted a lot of people looking for jobs. But I also attracted an "at risk youth" employment program. That seems to be my bit of charity, and the government wants to pay some of their wages for 4 weeks.  I had a charity case, but he started dating a drug dealer/crack head and made some poor decisions,which lead to his termination.

So just trying to muster up enough work now to keep a guy busy. That's a full time job in itself.  But hey, school cutbacks, Michelle's job was eliminated for next year.  They are willing to give her another job, but she has to apply to all positions that come up. And now the problem is she is 14 months pregnant. Nobody knows, because we have made it to 12 weeks several times and it never works out.   But nobody wants to hire the pregnant woman thats going on maternity leave in December. Now she's starting to show.

So Michelle is going to work with me.  We will set up an office at the rental house where she can work her 6 hour days, like the school board. So we can hopefully keep the nanny and make more money than we did with Michelle at the school board.  That will probably kill our rental empire for a wile.  I came across another house last week which I put an offer on but couldn't pull the financing together quick enough.  I've been trying my vinyl siding skills out, never done siding before. But I'll leave a picture of the start of the garage siding, same one we raised up. It looks so much different.
