@WintersTeacher @SandmanDorian nearly nonexistent. If you want it to be done before summers end, I would suggest yes, stay in his home since you have the option. Especially with Bailey. We'd love to have her visit, but as she's not grown up around construction, she might get herself or someone else hurt."
