That was a GREAT story! I can't believe you pulled that off in a day. One of us is very short of imagination - and it's not you.

Especially unexpected to me! I had no idea what was going to happen, except for the building inspector dying. THAT I knew had to happen, one way or another.

Our family had an amazing ranch-with-animal-experience airbnb stay earlier this spring, so your whole setting was very vivid for me, too.
