House update: Friday

Today, my aunt's report is full of jargon:

Today for lunch, in honour of Mozart's birthday, John, Mike,
David, Dan and I had grilled sandwiches--pumpernickel, black forest ham
and cheese--, and apple strudel mit schlag (actually, to be accurate,
backed commercial apple blossoms, but hey).

The younger men had a guy conversation: full of numbers and letters. I did
not understand.

John cleaned, did more wiring, bought a drill bit, and is going to get a
jack.

Dan and David scabbed a support for a cracked floor joist,* will
scab another with said jack, and put in more sound insulation.

Bill and Stuart are at the house.

Cheers all, Helen

*Doubtless someone will explain to me
what the italicized phrase above means. I like it, and I know all the
words, but the sense escapes me.
