1/2: even on what might seem NON BUSY DAYS to some of us you never stop and a good reason why you don't seem to have FSD, ORGANIZING constantly on your brain and you get stuff done. I hope Andy doesn't jinx your good tenant situation cause when he has one he doesn't like he just sells the place and they have to move or deal with the new owner that won't be as nice as ANDY. we've all heard and maybe some of us experienced in person BAD TENANTS and i hope you never ever do. at one point i had 4 rentals and my best tenant kept the house clean, paid on time and left the house clean when they checked out in the middle of the night with no notice. more than not they'd pay on time and leave the house with plenty of repairs to do when they moved out or not pay and maybe keep up the place or some combination of these. seriously you are blessed so far and deservedly so.
of course a lot of us don't fully remodel a home just to rent it out either so maybe that was part of the reason for you and Mrs. 1/2's success. that and hiring a BULLDOG (or she sounds like one) for a property manager that eliminates the marginal renters to begin with.
in any case i'm happy you have a good situation with the new tenant that is becoming a friend and hope it takes him a while to get permits and his new home built so he can stick around until you are ready to make it a GJ B&B.
i'm guessing today is your holiday day so hopefully you have plans to enjoy it either by resting, taking in a show or fair or just by some QST. or since RESTING isn't in your vocabulary maybe helping Mrs. 1/2 finish up the painting at Andrews so he can finish getting his car(s) ready for race season.
all the best!!
drives, thank you yet again..
I do like to keep myself busy and as for Flat Surface Disease I think I have developed enough immunity to it now. I just hate tripping over stuff and not being able to find stuff when you need it.
We have been pretty blessed with our new tenants let me tell you
You certainly hear some horror stories. Our property manager has done a fantastic job in the first instance and would take no prisoners should we have a hint of trouble, which in our case will not be an issue. The tenants are the sort of people that make great neighbours
I understand that their new home is still another six months off completion, so the
GJ B&B is on hold for the moment..
I spent Sunday just pottering really, first up is was out to
Andrews to feed
Rex and completed some cutting in for
Mrs 1/2 Cups paint job on the robe.
My
Dad called mid morning and I made a bracket for his slide bolt to suit his garden shed lock.
Then spent most of the afternoon in the garden spreading the 3/4
Blue Stone with 2"
bluestone ballast as highlights on a few beds, I am still only half way through the load I picked up on Saturday morning. Lots of wheel barrow and shovel work as I can't get the trailer close to the beds with out wrecking the lawns.
The beds look great with the
bluestone as it blends in well with our
red bricks and also are a fantastic mulch, weed suppressant and retain moisture well.
As well as the non negotiables - walk Shelby and kick back in the shed catching up on a bit of reading.
Mrs 1/2 Cup has gone for a drive today ( I not a big fan of travel on long weekends a the traffic can be mayhem ) so a little bit more work in the garden and then maybe some
QST...
Note to file:
Mrs 1/2 Cup ( in her infinite wisdom ) has suggested that I make some formal vegetable planter boxes to sit in between the roses for next season. I had grown a few tomato plants just like that a couple of years ago and the really complimented the roses believe it or not but it was only a temporary set up at the time..
Have a top day and thank you for your visit..
I am worn out.
