this is a good thing to have checked out by a home inspector, who can perform a thorough attic inspection for you. for a moment, i forgot what had happened to him. being at home is an obvious advantage. fall has cool nights and wonderful fall color. we are very relieved we did what we set out to do. please also make sure, when trying on shoes, that you do so on a clean surface and do not wear them outside before seeking to return them.
