March 2025 Island Trip – Day 7
Things dried up enough by this morning that I was able to get some mowing done before running to the lumber company. At the lumber company I picked up 54 sheets of 1/2” plywood for the upper barn’s re-roofing project. One guy used 2 forklifts to get it into the truck. It was fun to […]
March 2025 Island Trip – Day 6
The weather today was super hopeful! Sunny, warm for March. Mowing was in the offing!!! But I was out of gas for the mower, and when opening the gas tank on the mower, I saw nada… While the Husky gets amazing mileage, I didn’t want to start and then stop, abruptly. Off to town I […]
March 2025 Island Trip – Days 4 & 5
Day 4: After doing something unfortunate to my neck yesterday evening and spending a lot of the night in pain, I did very little today. Interestingly, Advil seemed to clear up what I think we’re muscle spasms. I took it easy and mainly accomplished keeping my neck calm. I did spend time contacting All the […]
March 2025 Island Trip – Day 3
Today had little to do with the Island as I made my hit & run back to the mainland. I left the property at 9:45 and got back at 7:45. My DH called in for dinner at one our fav restaurants, which I picked up on my way back. The population density does not support […]
March 2025 Island Trip – Day 2
We started the day by sleeping almost to 11AM, but not the real 11AM, the actual almost 10AM 😂. I wish we would just stay on one time year-round. Then we got around to having something to eat after reading and catching up on our electronic lives. We went down to look at the deteriorating […]
March 2025 Island Trip – Day 1
Due to my DH’s impressively quick driving 😏 we got to the ferry terminal in time to catch the earlier boat, which was running a little late!! It’s been a quiet day except for the part when I realized we left a great whack of stuff at home that was behind a closed door. This […]
March 2025 Island Trip – Day 0
Tomorrow morning, earlier than we’d ideally like, we head to the Island. I’ve gotten us to the point where we have to load and go. My DH is packing his clothes as I type. We have some swanky (roast veggies & chicken sausages) leftovers for dinner, and will watch an episode of our latest Netflix […]
Leased!
The couple and my DH signed the lease on Saturday. Tomorrow I return to the house to extract things at a granular level. Tea, paper plates, items from the workshop, the security camera, lamps, the boombox… All the things that we just don’t see anymore in the wake of all the bigger tasks, or things […]
Second Walk-Through
Tomorrow the enthusiast couple I mentioned is doing another walk-through. We had additional couple come through on Tuesday who were similarly excited, but I haven’t heard from them since Wednesday. In this rental market (this location for this price) that tells me they’re having second thoughts. S’ok. I’ll bring all necessary documents in case couple […]
