–Grace insisted I go to the Sutter Walk-In Clinic in Aptos. A PA found my lungs clear, had no good explanation for cough. She prescribed a cough suppressant, which seems to be effective.

–Talked to Cal Vintage Roofing, the clear choice based on (a) yelp and nextdoor reviews and (b) the fact that they are in Gold River and intimately familiar with rules. Job will take 7-8 weeks from start, which won’t be for another week or two. Crap. Also really not looking forward to seeing damage under roof, as apparently it’s the original 35-year-old shake roof that was installed when built.

–Got the name of the pool inspector from Darla: Nick at Deja Blue Pools. Looked them up on yelp: really sketchy. Back to square one.
