Doersch&McCollum Posted October 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Woops -- sorry for the misunderstanding on the dates. I meant that I'd changed the dates in the posting itself. We are available Nov 12. - Dec. 5. We have a couple of shorter-term sittings we're doing in November, but because there are two of us -- and because it can be difficult to get house-sitting dates to match up -- we can overlap the appointments, one of us staying in one place and the other in the second, as necessary.
