Today, another contractor who didn't want to do anything but replace doors and windows, and reframe the back entryway, leaving everything the way it is. He said the changes wouldn't be worth the cost.
K has tickets for the Pixies in May. I'm looking forward to it. I never got into them, but she has floated me mp3s from four of their albums and I don't understand why that is. I had a chance to see them when they were touring in support of Doolittle (I was there to see Bob Mould opening on his first solo tour), but the date I was with didn't want to stay for their set.
