The household has been a busy one. Our tenants were fortunate to be able to purchase a home so they moved the end of May. Rick had to do some patching and painting in the stairwell after they moved last week, but thankfully it wasn't a lot. Luckily for me-she cleaned the house spotlessly so I didn't have to deal with that.
Its a good thing I can prescreen perspective tenants via phone, while laying down, because I dont' have the energy to do much else. And let me tell you there are some strange weirdos out there. I think the hardest thing is getting 'dolled' up to show the property, which has been a struggle let me tell you, so it upsets me to no end when there are no shows. We have a few good perspectives so now we just have to decide on who we want in there. I know I am fussy, but I just want a nice stable 'family' in there who will love our home like their own. I dont' think that is too much to ask.
I did have a couple of good hours this week so I took advantage of them and got my flowers all in. But then I realized I had over done it. I am not good at laying low at all!! And with the migraines the computer is almost tabou.
As for Rick he has 'not' been laying low. He has been keeping very busy...as you can see-
what could be going on here? |
he tore the carpet out of the living area of the MH and is laying new flooring
He is doing a fantastic job. I'm lucky he is so handy and articulate about his work. We are so happy to be rid of the carpet. Why they put carpet in the living area of rvs is beyond me. He was pleasantly surprised after tearing up the carpet, to find a beautiful level 3/4" plywood floor. He was expecting chipboard. This dream floor really compliments the ceramic tile it is dark walnut in colour. He was about 4 days into the job when I finally found the energy to walk down in the yard and snap some pictures with my cell phone. Great Job Hun! I will post pictures of the finished project. He should be finished within the next couple of days. We are suppose to meet up with cousins in Truro this coming weekend, but we will have to see how I feel.
My biggest project is to get better as Donna and Ralph are coming for a visit and I sure want to be in top shape for that!
Ok time to hop off of this computer. I have to wait another hour to take my antibiotics as there is a restrictive "no dairy products 5 hours before or 5 hours after" the meds and I had such a headache earlier I thought it was my lack of 'coffee' and had one at 8pm.
Take care all, stay safe out there, and remember
"Home is Where you Park it"

nice to hear from you again Elaine...hope you feel better soon!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are back. Hope you start feeling 100%.
ReplyDeleteThe floor looks great. Beautiful color.
Enjoy your visit with Donna and Ralph!
Sure hope you're feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteBeing picky about tenants is certainly understandable, especially since they'll be living right next door. Good luck on that.
The floor is looking great.
There are a few things in RVs that I've never been able to figure out. Carpets "hide a multitude of sins" so I've heard, but are still a dumb idea. That and too many mirrors is the other turn-off for me.
Not overly keen on looking at myself all that much.
Who designs these things, some sprightly (narcissistic) 22 year old?
Hoa, you are back. That's good. We had thought you might have left the country again - to some ..stan country, you know. Hope you will do a trip to Campobello this summer.
ReplyDeleteNow, I hope you get better soon.
Love the floor! Wondering how you are..pneumonia? I had it once..sounds like the symptoms :) Get well soon!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you are back in the land of the living. Screening tenants is sure tough one. I have had my share of tenants with various properties, I wish you better luck than I had.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, you are on your way to feeling super!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better soon. We sure like your choice for the flooring. We will be visiting family in New Brunswick during August and September, and would sure enjoy a chance to meet up somewhere and take you and Rick out to a lunch.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, I felt like I lost my best friend! You poor thing, nasty stuff you are dealing with. The headaches must be the worst! Can't imagine dealing with the phone screening never mind real people. I'm sure you will make the right choice. Meanwhile don;t over do anything....get better once and for all. Way to go Rick...beautiful job. Do you want to come work on our new house?
ReplyDeleteSheesh! Headaches (migraines to booth) and respiratory issues! Not a fun time. We sure hope you heal well and quickly.
ReplyDeleteThe RV renos look really good. Hmmm....gives me an idea!
Good to have you writing again.
Somebody once said, "It's no fun being sick when you don't feel good." How true.
ReplyDeleteGet well soon!
I am so sad that you are not feeling well yet and are suffering so much. I hope you find relief real soon ~ we are working our way up and I am really excited about being up there and seeing you again. Take care my friend!
