I agree with holdingon; slowlee, slowlee, catchee, monkee! Wow, that happened fast with the home! But if you are a DYI like me, I know you will love putting yourself into fixing it up.
As for C, keep doing what you have benn doing, it seems to be working! Unfortunately for me; it's NOT working! It's been over a year for me since I started the D. Now my H wants it and not me...such is life... Good luck with the home! Sounds like things are looking up with your R too!
