A Christmas Renovation by D. Allen Pdf

But the prettiest sight to see… Cameron Kutcher is a single mom, just trying to make Christmas happen for her daughter. With her contracting business slowing down for the winter season and only working a couple nights a week at a local brewery, she worries that her daughter will wake up to nothing from Santa under their tree. Is the holly that will be, on your own front door… Luke Branson has been burned before by contractors who didn’t do a good enough job. As a real estate investor, he has a certain standard to match that will give him the biggest return on investment. But his latest project is more personal: his family’s former home that he recently reacquired. One that he has a very specific—very nostalgic—vision of what he wants it to look like. When Luke promises his parents that he’ll have the house ready in time to celebrate Christmas with his family, he hires Cameron online and is surprised to see that she’s a woman—one who has a strong opinion about Luke’s so-called “standards.” Meanwhile, Cameron is happy to accept a steady job through the holidays. And as the two of them work closely on the project, they soon realize that there is more developing than just real estate.

Open House by Jane Christmas Pdf

Moving house has never flustered author Jane Christmas. She loves houses: viewing them, negotiating their price, dreaming up interior plans, hiring tradespeople to do the work and overseeing renovations. She loves houses so much that she’s moved thirty-two times. There are good reasons for her latest house move, but after viewing sixty homes, Jane and her husband succumb to the emotional fatigue of an overheated English housing market and buy a wreck in the town of Bristol that is overpriced, will require more money to renovate than they have and that neither of them particularly like. As Jane’s nightmare renovation begins, her mind returns to the Canadian homes where she grew up with parents who moved and renovated constantly around the Toronto area. Suddenly, the protective seal is blown off Jane’s memory of a strict and peripatetic childhood and its ancillary damage—lost friends, divorces, suicide attempts—and the past threatens to shake the foundations of her marriage. This latest renovation dredges a deeper current of memory, causing Jane to question whether in renovating a house she is in fact attempting to renovate her past. With humour and irreverence, Open House reveals that what we think we gain by constantly moving house actually obscures the precious and vital parts of our lives that we leave behind. This is a memoir that will appeal to anyone whose pulse quickens at the mere mention of real estate.

Fearing for my life, I had to tell Dad the truth. I told him what exactly happened right from the start, starting with the honeymoon and how Sami couldnt perform, how he threatened to expose me as not being a virgin, what his mother did to me, and how he used my menstrual blood to prove that he was a stud. The fact is that I am still a virgin, We arrived at the house where I would spend the next six months of my life as Samis prisoner Leila was my strong rock..

Westhampton by Chuck Mansfield Pdf

WESTHAMPTON: Golden Days and Memories for a Lifetime is Mansfield’s seventh book. Its preface begins with, “Westhampton is in my blood.” In some 300 pages the author makes his case by telling sometimes hilarious tales of family, friends and situations. He calls his “life experiences in Westhampton...the most joyful in my nearly four score years. They have provided clear and warm memories all the way from childhood to the present day, a span of more than 76 years. The richness of these experiences is inestimable but oh so gratifying, as they were golden days and memories for a lifetime.” In his epilogue Mansfield writes: “An online dictionary defines nostalgia as ‘a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.’ To me these words apply perfectly to my life and times in Westhampton.” It is a funny, story-telling book.

Johann Scheibe by Lynn Edwards Butler Pdf

In his nearly forty-year career, Johann Scheibe became Leipzig's most renowned organ builder and one of the late Baroque's masters of the craft. Johann Sebastian Bach and Johann Kuhnau considered Scheibe a valued colleague. Organists and civic leaders shared their high opinion, for Scheibe built or rebuilt every one of the city's organs. Drawing on extensive research and previously untapped archival materials, Lynn Edwards Butler explores Scheibe's professional relationships and the full range of his projects. These assignments included the three-manual organ for St. Paul’s Church, renovations of the organs in the important churches of St. Thomas and St. Nicholas, and the lone surviving example of Scheibe's craft, a small organ in the nearby village of Zschortau. Viewing Scheibe within the context of the era, Butler illuminates the music scene of Bach's time as she follows the life of a gifted craftsman and his essential work on an instrument that anchored religious musical practice and community.

Douglas Li v. John Ross and Ross Construction Co., Inc. by Paul J. Zwier Pdf

In Doug Li v. John Ross and Ross Construction Co., Inc., the plaintiff, a Chinese-American, claims he had a significant business relationship with Michelle Greenwood and that the defendant, his brother-in-law, improperly interfered with that relationship by making a series of improper and false statements about the quality of his work. As a result of these statements, the plaintiff claims that Greenwood broke off her relationship with him and instead gave the contract to the defendant's company, Ross Construction Company. The plaintiff also believes that the defendant not only bears a personal grudge, but an ethnic bias as well. There are three witnesses for the plaintiff and five witnesses for the defendant. The case file deals with issues of tortious interference with a contract, tortious interference with prospective economic advantage, slander, and punitive damages and contains ample material for motion practice. This third edition also contains new social media exhibits. It is available in four versions: Trial, Faculty, Plaintiff, and Defendant.
