FIRE Progress Report for September 2020 (Garage Door Edition)
This month saw the start of the school year, and another broken garage door. A few months ago our other garage door spring had broke, so it seemed ironic that this month the other one did. We also had a series of expenses related to our dog that we hadn’t anticipated, and of course there…

Total Wireless Review
