    About this ebook

    Albert expected the house at the new property would need some work. He was right. But doing what needs be done to settle into an idyllic country life-style is often lengthy and fraught with frustration and difficulty: The painters won't leave, Albert has to finish their job and the door installer tries to switch doors and charge extra. Albert struggles to keep cool—with mitigated success.
