More July debt repayment

July 29th, 2010 at 11:58 am

My credit card payment and another of AS's student loan payments hit: $79 and $59 to principal, respectively, bringing July debt repayment to $1352.

Our $1800 balcony screen was installed yesterday. We did it mainly for little AA and her eventual friends, so we'd feel better about kids being on the 18th-floor balcony. (There's a railing, but psychologically...it's still a little nerve-wracking to take AA out there.) But it's also for our cat Noodles, because he likes being on the balcony but I've always been terrified he would forget where he was and leap for a bird or bug, and fall off the balcony. Also, when he was out there we had to keep either the screen or the door closed to keep bugs out, and he hates closed doors. Now, when it's nice enough to have the AC off, we can keep the door open, so he can come and go freely.

I was afraid it would make our small balcony seem cramped, but instead it's made it seem like another little room, rather than a small ledge. Very cozy and not cramped at all! AS and NT love it too. So, money well spent.

    I get queasy just thinking about stepping out on the 18th floor balcony! I am glad you enjoy it and I hope it brings you many summers of joy!

    Thanks north georgia gal! I think the screen will make it a little less scary for guests with a fear of heights. I'll try to take a photo and post it sometime.

    Sounds like a good thing to have done. I love balconies!

    Making it enclosed - but still with access to the air - is such a great idea, and it sounds like the door leads to a safer situation as well. All in all, you can't be too careful from that high up! It's better to have the insurance of a form of enclosure to keep the balcony both safe and attractive. Sounds like a great choice!
