wouldn't you still be out deposit money if it is a scam?

Still a risk but less of one. A paper check can still be reversed or stopped due to fraud. Cashing it creates a papertrail that can be followed better by police.
Also, I've never had a scammer say they accept a paper check. Several legit companies such as BlueStem Farms have.

Started on outside of DS’s house yesterday. I went to Lufkin for supplies, fixed me and Chris lunch, then painted for 3 hours. My thought is to paint before Chris puts the boards up, so I’m not climbing ladders. Painted 2 boards this morning, then a pop up shower ran me inside where I washed dishes and started laundry. Sun is out now, steam is rising off the highway pavement. Oh joy. High of 91F today. My 2 boards got rained on, WTH, I’ll just turn them over and paint the other side.

Got a lot done yesterday. I got ahead of Chris on painting so that he had enough to work with today. I just completed Trip and Carson’s new pen that I started on 3 weeks ago, when I splattered myself on the shipping container floor. Still limping on right knee, but it’s much better. I moved Trip and Carson to their new pen. That back room they were enjoying stinks to kingdom come. I’ll deal with it later.
Resting knee for a few minutes, then I’ll fix us lunch.

We got a lot done on son’s house this week. Chris took down plywood off east end gable and put up T1-11 siding. He had to take down the soffit boards. I set up a long extension ladder on 2 lawn chairs for my painting table. I painted the soffit boards. Chris cut the plywood he took down and cut into soffit boards for the west gable end, there weren’t any there. I painted them too.
Chris worked on the west end of house before I moved in, putting up the T 1-11 siding. I painted and he put up trim boards. Soffit looks good under Eve of house too!
I had Chris extend the AC drip pipe out further and put a 90 angle on it. Condensation was hitting the wall.
This is east gable, all pretty now!
Monday we start tearing down added on back room, robbing the plywood to make soffit for front of house, the rafters are open. Today I painted the soffit vents. If there isn’t enough plywood, I just happen to have 2 sheets of 1/4” in a shipping container in my lumber pile. LOL
Trip and Carson have a bigger pen now. I built them a make shift shelter with 2 panels from my round pen, a tarp, a plywood side to block sun and lots of zip ties. LOL

I needed more of the cream colored paint, thought maybe 2 quarts. Gheesh! That was $20 per quart or $42 for a gallon! I got the gallon.
Went to the farmers market in Lufkin, it was more market than farmers. I bought some yellow squash, green tomatoes, onions and a brownie. Lunch. Gonna have fried squash and fried green tomatoes for supper. Went to grocery store. Nearly $80 for not a whole lot.
The farmers market had animal vendors. Lots of poultry, mostly chickens, then ducks and even turkeys and quail. Quite a few rabbits, some puppies and 3 Hereford hogs, weaned babies. They were so cute!
It’s hot outside now. In recliner, under the AC.
