Christmas "Vacation"

We've got appointments next week with four contractors, two architects, a septic engineer, a heating/cooling engineer, a land engineer (not sure what else you'd call him), our lawyer, our accountant, a roofer, and an historical consultant - in all, we have 18 appointments in five days. That is our Christmas vacation. To add insult to injury, we just heard that a pipe burst in the guest house (where we stay) and so we won't have any water. It's going to be a long week...
